Remember, this former CIA Analyst who Knew about Zawqawi?
Remember this former CIA Analyst who confronted Rumsfeld and Knew about Zawqawi?

Ray McGovern confronts Rumsfeld about his lies concerning Zawqawi and Iraq.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1FTmuhynaw&search=Ray%2... ******* "The US invasion of Iraq was a "tremendous gift" to Osama bin Laden and a major setback in the struggle against al-Qaeda, according to a CIA terrorism expert who has written a scathing account of the conduct of the US "war on terror".:eyes:

In an interview with AFP, the author of Imperial Hubris: Why the West Is Losing the War on Terror blasted the efforts of successive US governments and the US intelligence community in fighting what he describes as a global Islamic insurgency.:banghead:


"Anonymous," as he is known, painted a dismal picture of the situation in Iraq, a "very bleak" outlook for Afghanistan and advocated debate about US policies which he claimed are providing a fertile recruiting ground for al-Qaeda in the Muslim world.:crazy:

A senior CIA analyst, "Anonymous" has been widely identified as the head of the bin Laden unit at the Central Intelligence Agency's Counter-terrorist Centre from 1996 to 1999. He was allowed to write the book on condition he not reveal his identity". http://au.news.yahoo.com/040808/2/q8lp.html

2. Just to clarify: Ray McGovern not author of that book. Michael Scheuer
is the author. He was "anonymous" at the time of publication because he was still employed at the CIA. Later he left and went public with his identity, which already was becoming publicly known anyway.
