THE ROGUE WEASELS CLUB
Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler
To the Point News
Friday, 16 December 2005
How upset are you over the CIA “secret prison scandal”? Maybe you said, “What scandal?”, or maybe you’ve glanced at stories about it carried in the back pages of your newspaper. Here in Europe, it’s the giant screaming front page headline story on every paper you pick up from England to Germany.
The Europeans are in a state of high emotional froth over CIA “renditions” of Moslem terrorists seized in one of their countries and taken to a “secret prison” in Poland or elsewhere. The Euroweenies are far more concerned with the “human rights” of the terrorists than they are about the threat of terrorists to kill them.
If you think all of this is just an excuse to bash the CIA and indulge in anti-Americanism, you’re right – just as planned by the weasels.
Everyone on the right, it seems nowadays, from the editorials in the Wall Street Journal to conservative columnists like Mona Charen and bloggers like John Hinderacker, are issuing calls to “Investigate the CIA!” They have been suckered by the left.
They should instead be demanding, “Investigate the weasels, not the agency!” All of them have been accusing the CIA of conducting a covert war against the Bush Administration by leaking damaging classified information to leftwing journalists in the press. That the most damaging leak of all to date, the “secret prisons” story leaked to the Washington Post, is incredibly damaging to the CIA itself has not given them pause.
Why would the CIA conduct a covert war against itself? Because the agency is now being run by an ally of George Bush who is trying to root out left wing “rogue weasels” from its midst: Porter Goss.
You could call it, as some of the good guys at Langley are starting to, the Rogue Weasel Club. According to one member of the intel community, its members include:
*Recently retired officials who are active in, or advising, all the Congressional investigative activities that have so crippled and mangled the reform of the intelligence community.
*Current CIA officials who have migrated to other intelligence agencies within the community. Individuals of special concern should include current FBI officials and analysts who have ties to and sympathy with targets of Goss’ house cleaning.
The club is being assisted by members of Congress, their staff, and the media in operating what amounts to a shadow intelligence community in opposition to the elected Republican Legislative and Executive branches of our government during a time of war.
This intel individual concludes: “The Rogue Weasel Club operating with immunity as they sabotage and 'stick the knife' into the backs of their former co-workers who are faithfully attempting to carry out the oaths that they took when they signed up.”
And so it is time to name names. The following are signees to a letter addressed to John McCain in support of his campaign against “torture.” (It’s in quotes because there already are such laws, and everyone knows McCain is indulging in his usual petulant grandstanding.)
By affixing their names to the McCain letter, they came out of the cold and announced themselves as members of the Rogue Weasel Club. They are waging a covert, and increasingly overt, war against the Bush Administration and Porter Goss’s CIA.
This is the cabal of leftwing spooks Bush and Goss are up against, who are purposefully damaging the president with leaks to the press and folks in Congress who wish them ill. One of them is the culprit who leaked the “secret prison” story to John McCain, who in turn leaked it to the Washington Post.
They are the ones who should be investigated – and it’s about time conservative critics of the CIA figured it out.

Some of these names are recognizable as Carter hacks and some as Clintonoids. It would be interesting to see their profiles and who they voted for in 2000/2004.
I get a sense of the unethical with what these people are doing and furthermore why would Capt. McQueeg be their conduit of choice? Something really stinks here and McCain is no neutral party.

Powel is speaking out, at last, mostly helpful comments
BBC
| Quote: | Powell raps Europe on CIA flights
Ex-US Secretary of State Colin Powell has indicated that Europeans are being disingenuous when they deny knowledge of the rendition of terror suspects.
Mr Powell said the recently highlighted practice of moving people to places where they are not covered by US law was neither "new or unknown" to Europe.
A number of countries where flights allegedly stopped have said they were unaware of their land being used.
Talking to the BBC, Mr Powell also described his difficulties over Iraq.
In an interview with Sir David Frost for the BBC World TV channel, he described his disappointment with the failings of US intelligence on Iraq, and his arguments with Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld over the campaign.
'Like Casablanca'
He was speaking after his successor, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, faced tough questioning about the use of rendition during a recent trip to Europe.
She admitted that terror suspects were flown abroad for interrogation, but said this was "a lawful weapon", and denied the prisoners were tortured.
She refused to address claims that the CIA runs secret prisons abroad where suspects are interrogated without reference to international law.
But Gen Powell was dismissive of the furore in Europe.
"There's a little bit of the movie Casablanca in this, where, you know, the inspector says 'I'm shocked, shocked that this kind of thing takes place'.
"Well, most of our European friends cannot be shocked that this kind of thing takes place... The fact that we have, over the years, had procedures in place that would deal with people who are responsible for terrorist activities, or suspected of terrorist activities, and so the thing that is called rendition is not something that is new or unknown to my European friends."

this is short snip,,he goes on to talk about the CIA errs with WMD. Says were going to have presence in Iraq for years., etc
Dems aren't going to like this interview. Can't see them bashing Powell.
