Ex-CIA Giraldi: Intel Colleagues Don't Buy Chemical Attack Story

Written by Daniel McAdams

Phil Giraldi, a former career CIA operations officer, is interviewed on Scott Horton's excellent radio program today. Giraldi, a unique and valuable source of information and insights on how the US intelligence community works, told Horton that he and his current and retired CIA buddies are not buying the Obama administration's Syria chemical attack story.

Will someone in the US military or intelligence community risk total destruction to go public and debunk the Administration's lies on Syria?

Former President Jimmy Carter said recently that the US no longer has a functioning democracy.

US Rep Andy Harris has just tweeted that his constituents have opposed US military action against Syria by more than 500 to 1. Matt Drudge has a poll up at his popular news website the Drudge Report inviting his readers to indicate their suport for a Syria attack. Nearly 92% oppose action. Yet Congress -- the "people's voice" -- is sure to vote in favor of Obama's war plans.

Carter is right.
