Who Is Ready To Smear Philip Giraldi?

By Cernig

Philip Giraldi is the former CIA agent and current security analyst who claims that Doug Feith's office in the Pentagon forged a document to build a case for war in Iraq. Nowadays, he works for a company headed by Ronald Reagan's former director of the NSC. He was Ron Paul's campaign advisor on foreign policy. He's a friend of noted journalist and (the importance of this will become apparent in a moment) Russian Jewish ex-pat Larisa Alexandrovna.

But if you are David Frum you write a post entitled "Who is Philip Giraldi?" and you say he's just a blogger then point to a decade-old letter castigating the pro-Zionist lobby for hijacking the Holocaust as a stick to beat their critics with, but don't go as far as to say he's an antisemite. (You leave that hatchet-job to the folks at Commentary.) You don't mention Giraldi's work for the CIA or former National Security Council director Vincent Cannistraro at all.

It's a fairly cack-handed attempt at legerdemain and probably constitutes a smoking gun of evidence that Giraldi is correct and the neocon lobby is sh**ting itself over the possible fallout, including criminal charges against some of its long-time heroes.

Lets see now...whom to trust more...Giraldi, or Frum....hmmmm.... lets see...who pushed us into a fake war, Giraldi? No, not him...hmmmm.

Not even close.

By the way have you noticed how these Frum-like people have blogs and blog-like publications -- but don't accept comments?

"Whoever can speak, speaking now to the whole nation, becomes a power, a branch of government, with inalienable weight in law-making, in all acts of authority. It matters not what rank he has, what revenues or garnitures. The requisite thing is, that he have a tongue which others will listen to; this and nothing more is requisite. The nation is governed by all that has tongue in the nation: Democracy is virtually there."
