Nini ENew York Times Intatheli uJames Risen upapashe incwadi yakhe yangaphambili, Umbuso weMfazwe, i Maxesha yagqiba ukulibaziseka kwayo ngaphezu konyaka kwaye yapapasha inqaku lakhe malunga nokuhlola okungenamvume kunokuba ikhutshwe yincwadi. I Maxesha yabanga ukuba ibingafuni kuphembelela unyulo lukamongameli luka-2004 ngokwazisa uluntu ngento eyenziwa nguMongameli. Kodwa kule veki a Maxesha utshilo umhleli 60 Imizuzu ukuba i-White House yamlumkisa ukuba uhlaselo lwabanqolobi eUnited States luya kutyholwa Maxesha ukuba umntu ulandele upapasho - ngoko kunokwenzeka ukuba Amaxesha ' ibango lokujongelwa phantsi kwedemokhrasi yayilibali loloyiko nokuthand' izwe. I Maxesha zange ndiwaxele amabali ahlukeneyo abalulekileyo kwincwadi kaRisen.
Elinye lala mabali, afunyenwe kwisahluko sokugqibela, lelo le-Operation Merlin - enokuthiwa igama ngenxa yokuba ukuthembela kuphela kumlingo kwakunokwenza ukuba isebenze-apho i-CIA yanika izicwangciso zezixhobo zenyukliya e-Iran ngeenguqu ezimbalwa ezicacileyo kubo. Oku bekucingelwa ukuba ngandlela thile kuthothisa iinzame ze-Iran ezingekhoyo zokwakha izixhobo zenyukliya. URisen wachaza i-Operation Merlin kwi INdemokhrasi ngoku kule veki kwaye udliwano-ndlebe ngayo ngu 60 Imizuzu ekwazileyo ukushiya nayiphi na inkcazo malunga nokuba yintoni na. Urhulumente wase-US utshutshisa uJeffrey Sterling ngezityholo zokuba ngumpempe owayesebenza njengomthombo kaRisen, kunye nokubiza Uvukile ukufuna ukuba aveze umthombo (s) wakhe.
IRisen media blitz kule veki ihamba kunye nokupapashwa kwencwadi yakhe entsha, Hlawula naliphi na ixabiso. Uvukile ngokucacileyo akayi kubuya umva. Ngeli xesha wenze eyona nto yakhe inqabileyo-i-CIA-eyenzile-mva nje ibali isahluko sesibini kunesokugqibela, kunye nelokugqibela. ENew York Times sele eyikhankanyile. Sithetha "ngemisebenzi yentuthumbo," "I-Iraq inee-WMDs," "masijonge zonke iibhokhwe" inqanaba lobumumu apha. Sithetha ngohlobo lwento eya kukhokelela kulawulo luka-Obama ukuzama ukufaka umntu entolongweni. Kodwa akucaci ukuba kukho umthombo oyimfihlo oza kutyhola ngeli xesha, kwaye iSebe lezobuLungisa sele sele lisemva kweSterling kunye noRisen.
I-Sterling, ngendlela, ayivakaliswanga xa kuthelekiswa no-Chelsea Manning okanye u-Edward Snowden okanye abanye abakhweli be-whistleblowers uRisen uxela kwincwadi yakhe entsha. Uluntu, kubonakala ngathi, alwenzi igorha lokuhleba de kube emva kokuba amajelo eendaba enziwe loo mntu adume ngokuba ngumngcatshi. USterling, okubangela umdla, ngumpempe onokuthiwa “ngumngcatshi” ukuba ibikukungcatsha ubungcathu, kuba abantu abacinga ngale migaqo phantse kuyo yonke indawo baya kujonga ukunika i-Iran izicwangciso zenyukliya njengongcatshi-mbuso. Ngamanye amazwi, ukhuselekile kuhlaselo oluqhelekileyo, kodwa wanamathela kwinqanaba lokuqala-abakuhoyi-wena kuba akukho mdla wenkampani ekuxeleleni ibali leMerlin.
Ke yintoni isidenge esitsha esivela kuLangley? Kuphela oku: ukungcakaza-umlutha wekhompyuter ogama linguDennis Montgomery owayengakwazi ukuthengisa iHollywood okanye iLas Vegas kwi-software yakhe yobuqhophololo, njengokukwazi kwakhe ukubona umxholo kwikhasethi yevidiyo engabonakali ngeso lenyama, wathengisa iCIA kwibango lobuqhophololo ngokupheleleyo. ukuba abone imiyalezo eyimfihlo ye-al Qaeda kusasazo lwenethiwekhi kamabonakude iAl Jazeera. Ukulunga, uMontgomery uthi iCIA yatyhala imbono kuye kwaye wabaleka nayo. Kwaye ayiphelelanga nje ekubeni iCIA iginye hooey yakhe, kodwa yenza njalo imigaqo Ikomiti yeenqununu, ubulungu bayo, ubuncinci bexesha: uSekela Mongameli uDick Cheney, owayesakuba nguMcebisi weSizwe kwezoKhuseleko uCondoleezza Rice, uNobhala wezoKhuseleko obizwa ngokuba nguDonald Rumsfeld, unobhala welizwe uColin Powell, uMlawuli weCIA uGeorge Tenet, kunye noGqwetha Jikelele uJohn. I-Ashcroft. UTenet udlala indima yakhe yesiqhelo njenge-dumber-than-post-bureaucrat kwiakhawunti kaRisen, kodwa uJohn Brennan uqatshelwa njengobandakanyekayo kwinyanga kaDennis Montgomery. IBush White House yamisa iinqwelomoya zamazwe ngamazwe ngenxa yezilumkiso eziyimfihlo zikaMontgomery ngentshabalalo, kwaye ithathelwe ingqalelo ngokunzulu inqwelomoya ephuma esibhakabhakeni.
Xa iFransi ifuna ukubona isiseko sokumisa iinqwelomoya, yakhawuleza yabona imfumba eqhumayo Ubulongwe behashe kwaye yazise i-US. Ke, iCIA yahamba isuka eMontgomery. Kwaye uMontgomery wadlulela kwezinye iikontraki ezisebenza kwezinye iidrops zamahashe ePentagon. Kwaye akukho nto yothusayo apho. "Uphononongo luka-2011 olwenziwa yiPentagon," uRisen ubonisa, "ufumene ukuba kwiminyaka elishumi emva kwe-9 / 11, iSebe lezoKhuseleko linike ngaphezu kwe-400 yeebhiliyoni zeedola kwiikontraka eziye zagwetywa ngaphambili kwiimeko ezibandakanya i-1 yezigidi zeedola okanye ngaphezulu ngobuqhetseba. .” Kwaye iMontgomery ayizange ivume. Kwaye thina bantu bamtyebisa ngezigidi asizange sixelelwe ukuba ukho. Akukho nto ingaqhelekanga nalapho. Ukufihlwa kunye nobuqhophololo yinto entsha yesiqhelo kwibali elibaliswa nguRisen, lichaza ubuqhetseba bobuqhetseba bokubulala idrone, abantu abafumana inzuzo, abafumana inzuzo, kunye naboyika abafumana inzuzo - iinkampani eziqeshwe ukuba zenze i-hysteria. Ngoko ngamandla ukulahlwa kwemali emkhosini kuqhawulwe kwintetho kawonke-wonke ukusuka kumthwalo wemali obandakanya ukuba uRisen uyakwazi ukucaphula uLinden Blue, usekela sihlalo weGeneral Atomics, egxeka abantu abathatha imali kurhulumente. Uthetha abantu abahlwempuzekileyo abathatha imali encinci kwiimfuno zabo ezisisiseko, hayi abenzi beedrone abafumana ubutyebi obumdaka ngokucinga ukuba iidrones zenza umhlaba ukhuseleke.
Ingcambu yengxaki, njengoko i-Risen ibona, kukuba umkhosi kunye ne-homeland security complex banikwe imali eninzi kunokuba banokuqonda ngokufanelekileyo ukuba benze ntoni. Ke, ngokungekho ngqiqweni bafumanisa ukuba benze ntoni ngayo. Oku kudityanisiwe, uRisen ubhala, ngoloyiko olugqithisileyo kangangokuba abantu abafuni ukuthi hayi kuyo nantoni na enokuthi isebenze nakumaphupha abo asendle - okanye oko uDick Cheney akubiza ngokuba luxanduva lokutyala imali kuyo nantoni na ene-1%. Uvukile uxelele INdemokhrasi ngoku loo nkcitho yasemkhosini yamkhumbuza ngeebhanki zaseWall Street. Kwincwadi yakhe uthi abaxhamli bemfazwe enkulu baye babonwa bakhulu kakhulu ukuba bangaphumeleli.
URisen ubalisa amabali amaninzi kwi Hlawula naliphi na ixabiso, kuquka nebali leepaliti zemali. I-20 yeebhiliyoni zeedola ezithunyelwa e-Iraq kwiibhilidi ze-100 zeedola, ubhala, i-11.7 yeebhiliyoni zeedola ayibonakali - ilahlekile, ibiwe, isetyenziswe kakubi, okanye ilahlwe kwimizamo engaphumelelanga yokuthenga ukhetho luka-Ayad Allawi. Iingxelo eziphakanyisiweyo zokuba malunga neebhiliyoni ezi-2 zeedola zemali elahlekileyo eneneni iyaziwa ukuba ihleli kwimfumba eLebhanon, kodwa urhulumente wase-US akanamdla wokuyibuyisela. Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, yi-2 yeebhiliyoni zeedola, kwaye umzi-mveliso wezomkhosi ufunxa i-1 yezigidigidi zeedola ngonyaka kwi-US Treasury.
Xa uRisen, njengaye wonke umntu, ekhankanya iindleko zeemfazwe zamva nje zase-US (i-4 yezigidigidi zeedola kwisithuba seshumi leminyaka, utshilo), ndihlala ndothuswa kukuba akukho mntu uqaphelayo ukuba ziimfazwe ezithethelela inkcitho "yesiseko" yasemkhosini. enye i-10 yeebhiliyoni zeedola kwishumi leminyaka ngalinye ngesantya sangoku. Andikholelwa ukuba uRisen ubhala ngokwenene ukuba "kuninzi lweMelika, imfazwe ayizange inyamezeleke kodwa ibe nenzuzo." Intoni? Ewe kunengeniso egqithisileyo kubantu abathile abanempembelelo egqithisileyo kurhulumente. Kodwa "uninzi lwaseMelika"? Abantu abaninzi (abangabaninzi) e-US banemisebenzi kwishishini lemfazwe, ke kuqhelekile ukucinga ukuba ukuchitha imali emfazweni kunye namalungiselelo emfazwe kuluncedo kuqoqosho. Kwinyani, ukuchitha iidola ezifanayo kumashishini anoxolo, kwimfundo, kwiziseko ezingundoqo, okanye nasekunciphiseni irhafu kubantu abasebenzayo kuya kuvelisa imisebenzi emininzi kwaye kwiimeko ezininzi imisebenzi ehlawula ngcono - kunye nokugcinwa okwaneleyo ukunceda wonke umntu enze utshintsho ukusuka emsebenzini wemfazwe ukuya emsebenzini woxolo. . Inkcitho yasemkhosini inyusa kakhulu ukungalingani kwaye iphambukisa inkxaso-mali kwiinkonzo abanazo abantu kumazwe amaninzi angenamkhosi kangako. Kwakhona ndinqwenela ukuba i-Risen ikwazile ukubandakanya ibali okanye ezimbini ukusuka kwelo qela elenza i-95% yamaxhoba emfazwe yase-US: abantu beendawo apho iimfazwe zenziwa khona.
Kodwa uRisen wenza umsebenzi omkhulu kumagqala ase-US angcungcuthekiswa ngokwenzakala ngokokuziphatha, kububanzi bokusetyenziswa kwamanzi, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha ibali elihlekisayo lokungeniswa kukarhulumente wase-US kwisimangalo nge-9/11 yeentsapho ngokuchasene nabaxhasi bemali baseSaudi be-9/11 - ibali, inxalenye yalo inikwe ngakumbi umongo ngokwempembelelo yayo e-Afghanistan kwincwadi yakutshanje kaAnand Gopal. Kukho nebali elifana neMerlin malunga nokuthengiswa okunokwenzeka kweedrones ezenziwe e-US kwiintshaba zase-US phesheya.
Ezi ncwadi zokuqokelela ze-SNAFU kufuneka zifundwe ngeso kwihlathi elipheleleyo, ngokuqinisekileyo, ukuphepha isigqibo sokuba into esiyidingayo yimfazwe eyenziwe ngokufanelekileyo okanye - ngenxa yaloo nto - iWall Street yenziwe ngokufanelekileyo. Asifuni iCIA engcono kodwa urhulumente simahla kwiCIA. Ukuba iingxaki ezichaziweyo azintsha ngokusisiseko ziziswa engqondweni yam, ngokufunda incwadi kaRisen, ngokuphinda kubhekiselwe kwiSikhululo seenqwelomoya saseDulles. Nangona kunjalo, iqala ukubonakala ngathi abazalwana bakwaDulles abasekho nje ikona eliyimfihlo likarhulumente, kodwa abangcwele babaxhasi babo bonke abantu baseMelika abalungileyo. Kwaye loo nto iyoyikisa. Imfihlo ivumela ukuphambana, kwaye imfihlo enkulu isetyenziswa ukugcina imfihlo yobuhlanya. Inokuba "yiMfihlo kaRhulumente" njani ukuba i-CIA iwele kumculi we-scam owenza ngathi ubona imiyalezo yomlingo kwi-Al Jazeera? Ukuba utshutshiso luka-Obama lwabahlebi alubalumkisi abantu ngengozi, ubuncinci kunceda ukuthengisa iincwadi zikaJim Risen, ezithi nazo zivuse abantu ngcono kunotyelelo oluphakathi kobusuku esibhedlele lusuka eAlberto Gonzales kwaye. Andrew Card.
Kusekho i-facade ebhityileyo yokundiliseka enokufunyanwa kwinkcubeko yezopolitiko yase-US. Oosopolitiki base-Iraq abakhohlakeleyo, kwincwadi ka-Risen, bazithethelela ngokuthi iintsuku zokuqala zomsebenzi ngo-2003 zazinzima. A ENew York Times uxelele umhleli 60 Imizuzu ukuba iminyaka embalwa yokuqala emva kwe-9/11 yayingeloxesha lilungileyo lobuntatheli base-US. Oku akufuneki kuthathwe njengezizathu ezamkelekileyo zokungaziphathi kakuhle. Njengoko imozulu yomhlaba iqala ngakumbi nangakumbi ukufana nomsebenzi weCIA, asiyi kuba nanto ngaphandle kwamaxesha anzima. Sele umkhosi wase-US ulungiselela ukujongana nokutshintsha kwemozulu kunye nento efanayo oyisebenzisayo ukulungisa i-Ebola okanye ubugrogrisi okanye ukuqhambuka kwedemokhrasi. Ukuba asifumani abantu abakwaziyo ukucinga ngeenyawo zabo, njengoko uRisen esenza ngelixa ejonge phantsi umgqomo wesigwebo sasejele sase-US, siya kuba nobubi bokwenene.
