I have posted about Ion Mihai Pacepa before (here). Now his new
book "Programmed to Kill: Lee Harvey Oswald, the Soviet KGB, and
the Kennedy Assassination" is schedule for release in November. As
the highest-ranking intelligence official ever to have defected
from the Soviet bloc, his opinions are certainly of interest,
although his hypothesis that the KGB was behind the JFK
assassination is ludicrous.
Now Mr. Pacepa has an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal
titled Propaganda Redux, a perhaps unintentionally revealing title.
For the piece itself is propaganda, only Mr. Pacepa is generating
propaganda for different masters. The subtitle to the piece
basically says it all:
"Take it from this old KGB hand: The Left is aiding and abetting
America's enemies with its intemperate attacks on President Bush."
He goes on to say:
Now we are again at war. It is not the president's war. It is
America's war, authorized by 296 House members and 76 senators. I
do not intend to join the armchair experts on the Iraq war. I do
not know how we should handle this war, and they don't know either.
But I do know that if America's political leaders, Democrat and
Republican, join together as they did during World War II, America
will win. Otherwise, terrorism will win. Abu Musab al-Zarqawi
predicted just before being killed: "We fight today in Iraq,
tomorrow in the land of the Holy Places, and after there in the West."
Sorry, Mr. Pacepa: I am not buying your KGB assassination theories
and I am not buying the nonsense in your "opinion piece" either.

Dan Moldea is an investigative reporter and author who is currently
working for Larry Flynt. Moldea seems to have good sources in the
intelligence community, which is always problematic. Let's just say
that in such relationships both sides generally benefit.
Joseph Cannon recently had this to say about Moldea:
I know from a first-hand source -- whom I will name, if legally
pressed -- that Dan Moldea had privately complained that the major
publishers had "blackballed" him after he wrote a book called
Interference: How Organized Crime Influences Professional Football.
The blackballing stopped the moment he agreed to write a book about
the Robert F. Kennedy assassination pushing the "lone nut" hypothesis.
For more on that work, read Jim DiEugenio's brief review here.
Moldea maintains that he set out to do a pro-conspiracy book but
became convinced that Sirhan Sirhan acted alone.
Recently Dan Moldea had this to say:
A few months ago, Moldea says, he learned from an "impeccable''
source that "an unnamed group of former intelligence officers have
done an opposition research campaign against Bill Clinton, which is
tantamount to a smear campaign, concentrating on his activities
since he left the White House. This is coming out, and that's when
I said, 'We've got to get back to work.'''
"Who knows when they are going to pull the trigger on this, but
we're going to unleash hell when that happens,'' he says.
Moldea told the Washington Post:
"I have it on very, very good authority that major opposition
research has already been conducted on Bill Clinton, and it's going
to be a massive smear campaign against him," he says. A group of
former intelligence officers, he says, is "going to try to cripple
Hillary through Bill."
Moldea knows a thing or two about the "Clinton scandals". In the
same article he tells how he was asked by Regnery, a [right-wing]
conservative publisher, to do a book about the death of Vince Foster.
Many in the conservative media saw foul play, but Moldea found
"instead of the Clintons being involved in some grand conspiracy to
either murder Vince Foster or cover up the circumstances of his
death, that in fact it was a conspiracy among certain right-wing
journalists to make it look that way.''
