The news story below is either propaganda of the extreme form or it is very suppressed intelligence info.
I don't know, I haven't seen it busted down to size anywhere. I would like to think the supposed 2IC for this operation is non-existent; I can't
see how she would allow her name to be published.
So, I'm not knowingly posting false information as some people sometimes do. I am asking, who writes this kind of stuff, and what info if any do they
have backing it, and what is the remotest possibility that some part of it could be accurate? (Recalling, for example, that the official count of the
U.S. dead in Iraq is at least 80 less than the actual count).

CIA and DoD Attempted To Plant WMDs in Iraq � and Failed
July 2, 2003
Pentagon Whistleblower Reveals CIA/DoD Fiascos
According to a stunning report posted by a retired Navy Lt. Commander and 28-year veteran of the Defense Department, the Bush administration's
assurance about finding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq was based on a CIA plan to "plant" WMDs inside the country. Nelda Rogers, the Pentagon
whistleblower, claims the plan failed when the secret mission was mistakenly taken out by "friendly fire."
A DoD whistleblower details an attempt by a covert US team to plant weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. The team was later killed by friendly fire
due to CIA incompetence. In a world exclusive, Al Martin Raw.com has published a news story about a Department of Defense whistleblower who has
revealed that a US covert-operations team had planted "Weapons of Mass Destruction" (WMDs) in Iraq, then "lost" them when the team was killed by
so-called "friendly fire."
The Pentagon whistleblower, Nelda Rogers, is a 28-year veteran debriefer for the Defense Department. She has become so concerned for her safety that
she decided to tell the story about this latest CIA-military fiasco in Iraq. According to Al Martin Raw.com, "Ms. Rogers is number two in the chain
of command within this DoD special intelligence office. This is a ten-person debriefing unit within the central debriefing office for the Department
of Defense."
The information that is being leaked out is information "obtained while she was in Germany heading up the debriefing of returning service personnel,
involved in intelligence work in Iraq for the Department of Defense and/or the Central Intelligence Agency. "According to Ms. Rogers, there was a
covert military operation that took place both preceding and during the hostilities in Iraq," reports Al Martin Raw.com, an online subscriber-based
news/analysis service which provides "Political, Economic and Financial Intelligence."
Al Martin is a retired Lt. Commander (US Navy), the author of a memoir called "The Conspirators: Secrets of an Iran-Contra Insider, " and he is
considered one of America's foremost experts on corporate and government fraud. Ms. Rogers reports that this particular covert operation team was
manned by ex-military personnel and that "the unit was paid through the Department of Agriculture in order to hide it, which is also very
commonplace."
According to Al Martin Raw.com, "the Ag Department has often been used as a paymaster on behalf of the CIA, DIA, and NSA and others." Accordng to
the Al Martin Raw.com story, another aspect of Ms. Rogers' report concerns a covert operation which was to locate the assets of Saddam Hussein and
his family, including cash, gold bullion, jewelry and assorted valuable antiquities.
The problem became evident when "the operation in Iraq involved 100 people, all of whom apparently are now dead, having succumbed to so-called
`friendly fire.' The scope of this operation included the penetration of the Central Bank of Iraq, other large commercial banks in Baghdad, the Iraqi
National Museum and certain presidential palaces where monies and bullion were secreted."
"They identified about $2 billion of cash in US dollars, another $150 million in Euros, in physical banknotes, and about another $100 million in
sundry foreign currencies ranging from Yen to British Pounds," reports Al Martin.
"These people died, mostly in the same place in Baghdad, supposedly from a stray cruise missile or a combination of missiles and bombs that went
astray," Martin continues. "There were supposedly 76 who died there and the other 24 died through a variety of 'friendly fire,' 'mistaken
identity,' and some of them---their whereabouts are simply unknown." Ms. Rogers' story sounds like an updated 21st-Century version of Treasure
Island meets Ali Baba and the Bush Cabal Thieves, writes Martin.
"This was a contingent of CIA/ DoD operatives, but it was really the CIA that bungled it," Ms. Rogers said. "They were relying on the CIA's
ability to organize an effort to seize these assets and to be able to extract these assets because the CIA claimed it had resources on the ground
within the Iraqi army and the Iraqi government who had been paid. That turned out to be completely bogus. As usual."
"CIA people were supposed to be handling it," Martin continues. "They had a special `black (unmarked) aircraft to fly it out. But none of that
happened because the regular US Army showed up, stumbled onto it and everyone involved had to scramble.
These new Iraqi "Asset Seizures" go directly to the New US Ruling Junta. The US Viceroy in Iraq Paul Bremer is reportedly drinking Saddam Hussein's
$2000 a bottle Napoleon-era brandy, smoking his expensive Davidoff cigars and he has even furnished his Baghdad office with Saddam's Napoleon-era
antique furniture.
The Iraq Debacle Du Jour has evidently been extensively documented by the DIA debriefing teams with "extensive tape recordings of interviews with the
Iraqi returnees, the covert operatives (as well as their affidavits)." Al Martin Raw.com has dubbed this "Operation Skim Iraq."
