Goldberg v. Cole Redux
Goldberg seems to like embarrassing himself, so he won't let go.

... Goldberg also cites "Michael Ledeen"
(http://www.sourcewatch.org/wiki.phtml?title=Michael_Ledeen) saying that the
Jan. 30 elections were, too, a model for other Middle Eastern countries,
because so many lists were allowed to participate. But there were limiting
factors in Iraq, too. One U.S. embassy official said that it wouldn't be
possible for Iraq to have a prime minister of whom the U.S. disapproved.
Judith Miller just last week on Hardball let slip that the US is offering
people cabinet posts in the new Iraqi government. And where exactly did all
that money come from for Iyad Allawi's (an old-time Ba'athist and then CIA
asset) campaign?
Goldberg waxes indignant that I associated him with the sabre rattling
toward Iran, but then cites Ledeen, the 21st century's most strident
warmonger! Goldberg may as well have just cut out the middleman and cited
Italian military intelligence
(http://gadflyer.com/warandpiece/index.php?Week=200435) on Iran.
Ledeen has been involved in defending the [Anglo-Israeli funded] terrorist
organization, the Mojahedin-e Khalq, from being so branded by the State
Department, and is deeply involved with "Larry Franklin", now under
investigation by the FBI for alleged espionage...
