Ndi David Swanson, July 11, 2019
M'chaka cha 2000, CIA inapatsa Iran (pang'ono komanso mwachiwonekere cholakwika) mapulani a chigawo chachikulu cha zida za nyukiliya. Mu 2006 James Risen analemba za "ntchito" iyi m'buku lake State War. Mu 2015, United States inazenga mlandu wakale wothandizira wa CIA, Jeffrey Sterling, chifukwa choganiza kuti adatulutsa nkhaniyi kwa Risen. M'kati mwa milandu, CIA amavomerezedwa chingwe chosinthidwa pang'ono chomwe chinasonyeza kuti atangopereka mphatso ku Iran, CIA inali itayamba kuyesetsa kuchita chimodzimodzi ku Iraq. Tsopano mu 2019, Sterling akusindikiza buku lake, Kazitape Wosafunidwa: Kuzunzidwa kwa Woyimba Waku America.
Ndikungomvetsetsa chifukwa chimodzi chomwe CIA ikupereka mapulani a mabomba a nyukiliya (ndipo ngati Iran ikukonzekera kuperekanso magawo enieni). Onse a Risen ndi Sterling akuti cholinga chake chinali kuchepetsa zida za nyukiliya za Iran. Komabe tikudziwa tsopano kuti CIA inalibe chidziwitso cholimba kuti Iran inali ndi pulogalamu ya zida za nyukiliya, kapena ngati inali ndi imodzi momwe idapitira patsogolo. Tikudziwa kuti CIA yatenga nawo mbali kulimbikitsa chikhulupiriro chonyenga chakuti Iran ndi chiwopsezo cha nyukiliya kuyambira koyambirira kwa 1990s. Koma ngakhale kuganiza kuti CIA imakhulupirira kuti Iran ili ndi pulogalamu ya zida za nyukiliya ku 2000 (yomwe 2007 US National Intelligence Estimate inganene kuti yatha mu 2003), sitinafotokozedwe za momwe kupereka zolakwika kukanaganiziridwa. kuti muchepetse pulogalamu yotere. Ngati lingaliro liyenera kukhala loti Iran kapena Iraq ingangotaya nthawi kumanga chinthu cholakwika, timakumana ndi mavuto awiri. Choyamba, iwo angataye nthawi yochuluka ngati akugwira ntchito popanda zolinga, poyerekeza ndi kugwira ntchito ndi zolakwika. Chachiwiri, zolakwika zomwe zidaperekedwa ku Iran zinali zoonekeratu komanso zowonekera.
Munthu wakale wa ku Russia atapatsidwa ntchito yopereka mapulani ku boma la Iran nthawi yomweyo adawona zolakwika mwa iwo, CIA inamuuza kuti asadandaule. Koma sanamuuze kuti zolinga zolakwikazo zingachedwetse pulogalamu ya zida za nyukiliya ku Iran. M'malo mwake adamuuza kuti zolakwikazo ziwulula ku CIA kuti pulogalamu ya Iran inali kutali bwanji. Koma mmene zimenezo zikanachitikira sizinafotokozedwenso. Ndipo zimasemphana ndi zina zomwe adamuuza, kuti amadziwa kale kuti Iran inali kutali bwanji komanso kuti Iran inali kale ndi chidziwitso cha nyukiliya chomwe akupereka. Mfundo yanga si yakuti zonenazi zinali zoona koma kuti kulingalira kwapang'onopang'ono sikunayesedwe.
Munthu safuna kupeputsa kusakhoza. CIA sankadziwa chilichonse chokhudza Iran, ndipo nkhani ya Sterling sinayesetse kuphunzira. Malinga ndi Risen, cha m'ma 2004 CIA idawululira boma la Iran mwangozi zidziwitso za othandizira ake onse ku Iran. Koma kusachita bwino kumawoneka kuti sikufotokozera kuyesayesa kolingalira bwino kugawa mapulani a nuke kwa adani osankhidwa. Chomwe chikuwoneka kuti chikufotokozera bwinoko ndi chikhumbo chofuna kuloza kukhala ndi mapulaniwo, kapena zomwe zidapangidwa ndi mapulaniwo, monga umboni wa chiwopsezo chaudani cha "zida zowononga," zomwe, monga tonse tikudziwa, ndi zida zankhondo. chowiringula chovomerezeka cha nkhondo.
Kuti tilibe ufulu wodziwa, ngakhale zaka 20 pambuyo pake, ngati kupereka mapulani a nuke ku Iran kunali kopanda nzeru kapena nkhanza, kapena kufunsa Bill Clinton kapena George W. Bush chifukwa chiyani adavomereza, ndilo vuto lomwe limapitirira kulephera komanso kulowa muulamuliro wankhanza wotsutsana ndi demokalase wochitidwa ndi mabungwe achinsinsi.
Tilibe njira yodziwira mndandanda wathunthu wa mayiko omwe boma la US lapereka mapulani a zida za nyukiliya. Trump tsopano kupereka zida za nyukiliya zinsinsi kupita ku Saudi Arabia kuphwanya Pangano la Nonproliferation Treaty, lumbiro lake laudindo, komanso kulingalira bwino - ngakhale tiyenera, ndithudi, kunyalanyaza nzeru za Nancy Pelosi ndikuzindikira kuti palibe chimene Trump angachite chomwe chingakhale chosatheka. Zovala zasiliva ndikuti oyimba mluzu popereka ma nukes kwa Saudis mwachiwonekere amamvera mamembala ena a Congress omwe adalengeza poyera. Kaya kusiyana ndi anthu, makomiti, mbali za Capitol Hill, chipani chambiri, chipani ku White House, kukhudzidwa kwa CIA, chikhalidwe cha anthu onse, kapena dziko likupatsidwa makiyi a apocalypse, zoona zake n'zakuti pamene Jeffrey Sterling anapita ku Congress kuti awulule kupatsa kwa nukes ku Iran, mamembala a Congress mwina anamunyalanyaza, adanena kuti asamukire ku Canada, kapena - ndi nthawi yowopsya - adamwalira asanachite chilichonse.
Buku latsopano la Sterling, Azondi Osafunidwa, imaphatikizapo zochepa kwambiri za Operation Merlin, chiwembu chopereka nukes ku Iran. Bukuli ndi lofunika kuliwerenga pazifukwa zina. Koma Sterling amatiuza patsamba 2 kuti sanatchule nkhaniyi kwa James Risen kapena wina aliyense. Pambuyo pake m'bukuli akutiuza kuti adatengera nkhaniyi kwa ogwira ntchito ku komiti ya Congressional ndi chilolezo choyenera ndi udindo woyang'anira.
M'dziko lomwe linali lanzeru pang'ono zonena za Sterling kuti sanatchule nkhaniyi kwa Risen zitha kuyika ena pachiwopsezo. Sterling wakhala kale kundende chifukwa cha zomwe ndimaona ngati ntchito yabwino yothandiza anthu koma boma la US likuwona kuti ndi mlandu wa "ukazitape". Koma kuimbidwa milandu pamilandu pachikhalidwe chathu sikukhala kofunikira ngati wina wapezeka wolakwa, ngakhale atakhala wolakwa. Sterling watsimikizira kuti alibe mlandu kuyambira tsiku loyamba. Sterling pambuyo pake m'bukuli amalimbikitsa lingaliro lakuti m'modzi mwa ogwira ntchito ku Congression omwe adalankhula nawo mwina adatulutsa nkhaniyi kwa Risen (kotero kuti sada nkhawa ndi milandu ina iliyonse). Ndipo ngati mungawerenge bukhu lonse la Sterling, kuthekera kumabwera m'maganizo mwanu kuti cholinga cha kuzemba mlandu kwa Jeffrey Sterling chikhoza kukhala chokhudza Sterling pazinthu zina monga kuyika mlandu wina pa nkhani ya Risen.
Inde, poganiza kuti ndizowona kuti Sterling sanali gwero la Risen, wina anali, wina amene analola Sterling kupita kundende m'malo mwake. Ndipo, zowona, Risen adangokhala chete. Mwinamwake lonjezo lake la kusunga chinsinsi kwa gwero lake linalungamitsa kukhala chete kumeneko. Mwina maphwando onse okhudzidwa anali ndi chifukwa chochepa chokhulupirira kuti angathandize Sterling mogwira mtima, ngakhale atayesa, poganizira kuti adayang'aniridwa ndikuweruzidwa popanda umboni uliwonse womwe adamuyimbira mluzu.
Bukhu la Sterling limatitengera ife kuyambira ali mwana mpaka kupyola muyeso lake. Limapereka nkhani yachidziwitso ya momwe mnyamata ndi mnyamata anachitira ndi kukula kwakuda ku United States, ndikukula ndi banja lamavuto ndi zambiri kuposa gawo lake la mavuto aakulu. Kuyambira pachiyambi, Sterling akulemba kuti anali ndi chikhumbo chachikulu chofuna kudziwa zomwe dziko lake linkaganiza za iye. Ndi zigamulo zolakwa pamlandu wake, akukhulupirira kuti pamapeto pake wapatsidwa yankho lonyansa.
Kaya zikanamuthandiza kapena ayi, sindikudziwa, koma ndikadayesa kupereka upangiri, ngati zingathandize, kuti munthu asasamale kwambiri zomwe wongopeka komanso wopeka amaganizira. Dziko lilibe maganizo. Si munthu. Kodi anthu amaganiza bwanji za inu? Ngakhale funsolo likhoza kupatsidwa kulemera kwambiri, koma Sterling akuwoneka kuti ali wokhoza kuwongolera. Ndikanakonda akadachitanso chimodzimodzi ndi funso lopanda phindu la zomwe dziko lake linkaganiza za iye.
Ndimalakalaka akanapanda “kutumikira” dziko lake popita kukagwira ntchito ku bungwe lachinsinsi lomwe, kudzera muakaunti yake, ndi akaunti ina iliyonse yomwe ndidawerengapo, sinalembedwe kuti idachita chilichonse chothandiza, mocheperapo. zabwino zokwanira kuposa zovulaza.
Sindikutsutsa Sterling chifukwa cholowa nawo ku CIA. Analimbana ndi tsankho poyesa kupeza ntchito yokhutiritsa. CIA inali kudzilengeza yokha ngati yosiyana komanso yowunikira, komanso ngati njira yowonera dziko lapansi, kuphatikiza pakulimbikitsa dziko lankhondo lomwe si Sterling chabe koma darn pafupi ndi mwana aliyense waku US amakhulupirira. Sterling, yemwe anakulira m’tauni ina yaing’ono ku Missouri, atayamba ntchito ku CIA, anasamukira kumudzi kwathu ku Northern Virginia. Anapeza malowa m'njira zina zotsogola, komanso kulandirira ukwati wake wamitundu yosiyanasiyana. Pepani Sterling sanakulire kumeneko komanso kuti sindimamudziwa; ali mkati mwa zaka zingapo za usinkhu wanga.
Koma komwe Sterling adalimbana ndi tsankho kwambiri sikunali ku Missouri, koma ku Northern Virginia mkati mwa CIA. Anapeza kumeneko chikhalidwe choyenera chomwe sichinavomereze lingaliro la kufanana kwa mafuko, ndipo monga momwe tikudziwira sichinavomereze. Ntchito yake idasokonezedwa ndi oyang'anira omwe adatsekereza njira yake ndipo sanali ochenjera kwambiri pazifukwa zake. Anauzidwa kuti sakanatha kugwira ntchito zina ku Ulaya chifukwa amawonekera kwambiri kukhala wakuda. Adali ku Africa ndipo adawona maofesi oyera a CIA omwe mamembala ake mwina adavala zikwangwani m'khosi mwawo. Atadandaula adauzidwa kuti polowa nawo CIA wasiya ufulu wake.
Sterling sanavomereze zimenezo. Anadutsa njira zonse zomwe zilipo kuti athetse tsankho. Ndipo zimenezo zidamupangitsa kukhala chandamale cholangidwa. Chilangocho chinali chachikulu, ndipo Sterling anavutika. Iye anayesa kudzipha. Ndipo choyipitsitsa chinali kubwera.
Komabe Jeffrey Sterling anapirira modabwitsa. Iye anadzipanganso yekha. Anakumana ndi tsoka lalikulu. Chinthu chimodzi chimene analemba chinamulimbikitsa kwambiri ndi makalata olimbikitsa amene anthu ankamutumizira ali m’ndende. Ndi bwino kukumbukira kuti anthu amene akhala m’ndende amanena zimenezi kangati. Nthawi ina mukakhala pansi kuti mulembere membala wa Congress kapena mnzanu kapena wachibale, mwina mungaganizirenso kulembera mkaidi.
