Американская военная машина. Глубинная политика, глобальная связь ЦРУ с наркотиками и путь в Афганистан - Peter Dale Scott
Left.ru, Demidov’s article “alleges that Fritz Ermarth, formerly high ranking official in the CIA, NSC, and NIC, plays the role of the ‘supervisor’ of this GRU group on the part of the FWL’s chief partner: KBR Halliburton and the Dick Cheney circle.”

78. Far West has planted destabilizing rumors to discredit both the United States and Russia. Ruslan Saidov has “accused the high ranking officer of US military intelligence (DIA) Colonel Caleb Temple and his colleagues of running a heroin operation in the Near East and using the hawala money-transfer system for money laundering” (http://left.ru/burtsev/ops/hawala.phtml). In August 2009, Vladimir Filin claimed that the recently hijacked ship the Arctic Sea, under the cover of a load of Finnish timber, was delivering a shipment of weapons to Iran via Algeria (Cristina Batog, “The Truth Is Adrift with the Arctic Sea,” Asia Times, August 26, 2009, http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Central_Asia/KH26Ag01.html); cf.

4. Marilyn W. Thompson, “The Pursuit of Steven Hatfill,” Washington Post, September 14, 2003 (Hatfill–Science Applications International Corporation). At the time, Laurie Mylroie said on CNN that “it takes a highly sophisticated agency to produce anthrax in the lethal form. Not many parties can do that.” Saddam Hussein “continues his part of the war in the form of terrorism. It is unlikely that anthrax will remain in letters. It is likely that it will be used in the subway of a city, or in the ventilation system of a U.S. building. Saddam wants revenge against us. He wants to do to the U.S. what we’ve done to Iraq” (CNN, October 29, 2001, http://archives.cnn

Richard Butler, ambassador in residence at the Council on Foreign Relations, New York Times, October 18, 2001: “Meetings between Mohamed Atta, who is thought to have been an organizer of the Sept. 11 attacks, and an Iraqi intelligence official in Prague in June 2000 may have been an occasion on which anthrax was provided to Mr. Atta. There have also been reports of meetings between senior Iraqi intelligence officials and members of Al Qaeda.” Butler’s claims about Iraq, Atta, anthrax, and al-Qaeda have also since been discredited, although Richard Cheney and his colleague James Woolsey continue to assert them. Cf. The 9/11 Commission Report, 66, 228–29.

Time, November 26, 2001: “While Daschle, the Senate majority leader, could have been chosen as a representative of all Democrats or of the entire Senate, Leahy is a less obvious choice, most likely targeted for a specific reason. He is head of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is involved in issues ranging from antitrust action to antiterror legislation” (emphasis added).
