Media lying as CIA spies were given up to create another pretext for Iran attack

Working for America and being paid bags of cash that this government refuses (and indeed laughs at the thought of) when it kills and maims US citizens as it did to me, doesn't make the "spy" or asset an American.

The Mockingbird media would be well advised to stop using casus belli headlines like these:


It's been repeated in that manner all day, with no evidence the spies were actual American citizens. But it surely raises the blood pressure of Mr Meterosexual and Mrs Soccer Mom more skillfully.

Remember, those media boards of directors are all order takers and all interconnected with the intelligence apparatus, including through interlocking boards of directorate with contractors, school boards, etc.


But others inside the American intelligence community say sloppy "tradecraft" -- the method of covert operations -- by the CIA is also to blame for the disruption of the vital spy networks.

Oh, they're not lazy. Please.

They know exactly what they're doing when they want to keep adding to the list of fake reasons to attack Iran. And they know there will always be fools willing to take wads of cash from them to do their dirty work.

In Beirut, two Hezbollah double agents pretended to go to work for the CIA. Hezbollah then learned of the restaurant where multiple CIA officers were meeting with several agents, according to the four current and former officials briefed on the case. The CIA used the codeword "PIZZA" when discussing where to meet with the agents, according to U.S. officials. Two former officials describe the location as a Beirut Pizza Hut. A current US official denied that CIA officers met their agents at Pizza Hut.

From there, Hezbollah's internal security arm identified at least a dozen informants, and the identities of several CIA case officers.

Hezbollah then began to "roll up" much of the CIA's network against the terror group, the officials said.

One former senior intelligence official told ABC News that CIA officers ignored warnings that the operation could be compromised by using the same location for meetings with multiple assets.

"We were lazy and the CIA is now flying blind against Hezbollah," the former official said.

CIA Spies Caught in Iran

At about the same time that Hezbollah was identifying the CIA network in Lebanon, Iranian intelligence agents discovered a secret internet communication method used by CIA-paid assets in Iran.

The CIA has yet to determine precisely how many of its assets were compromised in Iran, but the number could be in the dozens, according to one current and one former U.S. intelligence official.

The exposure of the two spy networks was first announced in widely ignored televised statements by Iranian and Hezbollah leaders. U.S. officials tell ABC News that much of what was broadcast was, in fact, true.

Hezbollah's leader, Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah, announced in June of this year that two high-ranking members of Hezbollah had been exposed as CIA spies, leading U.S. officials to conclude that the entire network inside Hezbollah had been compromised.

In Iran, intelligence minister Heidar Moslehi announced in May that more than 30 U.S. and Israeli spies had been discovered and an Iranian television program, which acts as a front for Iran's government, showed images of internet sites used by the U.S. for secret communication with the spies.

So much for those "innocent" reporters with press passes everywhere and those blue helmets and vests. But we know they're not innocent, because when it's your ass on the line against the government and a corporation, they're nowhere to be found because they're run by the interlocking boards that feed them.

U.S. officials said the Iranian television program showed pictures of people who were not U.S. assets, but the program's video of the websites used by the CIA was accurate.

Some former U.S. intelligence officials say the developments are the result of a lack of professionalism in the U.S. intelligence community.

"We've lost the tradition of espionage," said one former official who still consults for the U.S. intelligence community. "Officers take short cuts and no one is held accountable," he said.

Do you mean like Bormann funded and Gehlen org run 9/11 that no one was fired and as far as anyone knows, even punished over ?

Also disturbing, and I don't believe I ever criticized Drudge before, was his headline that they were CIA spies as if they were Americans.

It seems most likely that they were spies working for the CIA. There is a difference.
