I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby has been a long-serving intelligence
agent for Israel's Mossad, according to a veteran CIA "official cover"
officer who spoke to WMR on deep background. The CIA's Clandestine Service
has, over the years, gathered a tremendous amount of intelligence on Libby's
activities on behalf of Mossad.
Libby served as the lawyer for Switzerland-based American fugitive
financier Marc Rich, aka Mark David Reich, who is also known to be an
Israeli intelligence asset and someone Israel relies upon for missions that
demand "plausible deniability" on the part of the Mossad. Rich heads up a
worldwide empire of dummy corporations, foundations, and numbered bank
accounts that have been involved in sanctions busting and weapons smuggling.
The nations involved include Israel, United States, United Kingdom, Iran,
Panama, Colombia, Russia, Iraq (under Saddam Hussein),
Cuba, Spain, Nigeria, Singapore, Bolivia, Jamaica, Bermuda,
France, Italy, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Austria, Kazakhstan,
Philippines, Australia, Argentina, Peru, Ireland, Zambia, Sweden, Monaco,
and apartheid South Africa.
In 1983, the then-U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New
York urged jail time for Rich and his partner Pincus Green for racketeering.
The name of that U.S. Attorney is Rudolph Giuliani. Giuliani, who is now
running for president, praised Bush's decision to commute Libby's jail
sentence. After Clinton's pardon of Rich, Giuliani said he was "shocked."
Paul Klebnikov, the Moscow editor for Forbes' Russian edition, wrote about
the connections of Rich to Russian gangsters like Boris Berezovsky, a
business partner of Neil Bush, in his book "Godfather of the Kremlin."
Klebnikov was shot to death gangland-style on a Moscow street on July 9,
2004.
Libby not only provided the Mossad with a top agent inside the
White House but also an important conduit for the Russian-Israeli Mafia.
Libby arranged for Rich's eleventh hour pardon by outgoing
President Bill Clinton in January 2001. The pardon of Rich was urged in a
phone call to Clinton by then-Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, as well as
Shimon Peres and Ehud Olmert.
Yesterday, Libby received a commutation of his 30-month prison
sentence from President George W. Bush. Libby was convicted on four counts
of perjury, lying to a federal law enforcement officer, and obstruction of
justice in the investigation by U.S. Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald of
the White House's leak to the media of the identity CIA non-official cover
officer Valerie Plame Wilson.
Libby was denied bail by U.S. Judge Reggie Walton and was ordered
to prison while appealing his sentence. Libby was assigned Bureau of Prisons
inmate number 28301-016.
Libby worked for Paul Wolfowitz in the State Department's Bureau
of East Asian and Pacific Affairs from 1982 to 1985. Libby again worked for
Wolfowitz in the Pentagon as the Principal Undersecretary for Strategy and
Resources. Libby later became the Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for
Policy and served as a chief aide to Defense Secretary Dick Cheney.
It was while Libby was working for Wolfowitz at State, the FBI
arrested Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard, who had delivered enough
highly-classified U.S. documents they could have entirely filled a garage.
It was well known that Pollard had a "control officer" within the Reagan
administration. The control officer was code-named "Mega."
Current British Lord Chancellor and former British Foreign
Secretary Jack Straw said that during Middle East peace talks between Israel
and the Palestinians, "It's a toss-up whether [Libby]
is working for the Israelis or the Americans on any given day."
Clinton's Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder told the House Government
Affairs Committee in 2001 that he discovered much more about Rich after
Clinton's pardon and said, "Knowing everything that I know now, I would not
have recommended to the president that he grant the pardon."
It has also been reported that, in addition to pressure from
leading neocons in the United States to keep Libby out of jail, Bush was
urged by leading Israeli government officials to prevent Libby from going to
prison.
Fitzgerald issued the following statement regarding Bush's
commutation of Libby's prison sentence:
"We fully recognize that the Constitution provides that
commutation decisions are a matter of presidential prerogative and we do not
comment on the exercise of that prerogative.
We comment only on the statement in which the President termed the
sentence imposed by the judge as 'excessive.' The sentence in this case was
imposed pursuant to the laws governing sentencings which occur every day
throughout this country. In this case, an experienced federal judge
considered extensive argument from the parties and then imposed a sentence
consistent with the applicable laws. It is fundamental to the rule of law
that all citizens stand before the bar of justice as equals. That principle
guided the judge during both the trial and the sentencing.
Although the President's decision eliminates Mr. Libby's sentence
of imprisonment, Mr. Libby remains convicted by a jury of serious felonies,
and we will continue to seek to preserve those convictions through the
appeals process."
