Reply #21: Cheney covered up Pakistan nuke program. That's TREASON.

[seemslikeadream]

A CIA analyst by the name of Richard M. Barlow blew the whistle upon discovering the Pentagon and CIA were allowing, if not enabling, Pakistan to develop their atomic bomb.

It was the early 1990's, and the agencies then worked to hide evidence of their involvment from Congress — a DEMOCRATICALLY CONTROLLED CONGRESS.

The big stooge in all that was one Secretary of Defense Dick "BFEE" Cheney. Sneer’s boss was (and probably still is) one George Herbert "Poppy Doc" Walker Bush.

When you consider the amounts of money and political power involved, Cheney HAD to do all he could to destroy the reputation and psyche of this particularly excellent CIA analyst, described as brilliant by one CIA Inspector General.

So. It’s easy to see why Cheney, ex-DCI Bill Gates (U Texas turd), and Poppy don’t want this brought up NOW. Still, those interested in some details, and who can still think for themselves, might want to check out:


CIA'S WHISTLE-BLOWER & SECURITY "DOUBLE-BIND"

What to do when an agency ‘blower’ reports crime while using classified data as...

EXCERPT…

To avoid oversight criticism for "lax security", the CIA asked the Justice Department, on 19 July, to investigate the possible disclosure of classified information in June when former Agency officials helped the media do a program on secret covert operations against Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq. During the same period, Congressional oversight resulted in the Agency and Pentagon being criticized for the 1993 treatment of a whistle-blower analyst, Richard M. Barlow, 42, who thought Congress should be warned that it been given misleading testimony concerning the possible Pakistani possession of nuclear weapons.

On the Nuclear Edge

by Seymour M. Hersh
The New Yorker , March 29, 1993

An obvious explanation for the high-level quiet revolves around the fact, haunting to some in the intelligence community, that the Reagan Administration had dramatically aided Pakistan in its pursuit of the bomb. President Reagan and his national-security aides saw the generals who ran Pakistan as loyal allies in the American proxy war against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan: driving the Russians out of Afghanistan was considered far more important than nagging Pakistan about its building of bombs. The Reagan Administration did more than forgo nagging, however; it looked the other way throughout the mid-nineteen-eighties as Pakistan assembled its nuclear arsenal with the aid of many millions of dollars’ worth of restricted, high-tech materials bought inside the United States. Such purchases have always been illegal, but Congress made breaking the law more costly in 1985, when it passed the Solarz Amendment to the Foreign Assistance Act (the amendment was proposed by former Representative Stephen J. Solarz, Democrat of New York), providing for the cutoff of all military and economic aid to purportedly non-nuclear nations that illegally export or attempt to export nuclear-related materials from the United States.
