Kusukela ngoLwesibili futhi kuqhubeka emasontweni amathathu ezayo, icala elimangalisayo lenzeka eNkantolo Yesifunda yase-US e-401 Courthouse Square e-Alexandria, Va. Icala livulekele umphakathi, futhi phakathi kofakazi abazayo uCondoleezza Rice, kodwa - ngokungafani ne-Chelsea. Isivivinyo sikaManning - izihlalo eziningi kulo mcimbi othi thizeni ofanayo awunalutho.
Abezindaba iningi labo liyi-MIA, kanti ngesikhathi sekhefu lasemini amatafula amabili ekhefi engaphesheya komgwaqo ahlala, elinye lingummangalelwa nabameli bakhe, elinye liyiqembu elincane lezishoshovu, okuhlanganisa nalowo owayeyisikhulu seCIA uRay McGovern, umbhali we-blogger uMarcy Wheeler ( landela umbiko wakhe wayo yonke imininingwane ku I-ExposeFacts.org), noNorman Solomon ohlele incwadi yezikhalazo ku I-DropTheCharges.org - igama elizikhulumelayo.
Kungani uGareth Porter (nabanye abagxile emzamweni waseNtshonalanga owathatha amashumi eminyaka wokwakha i-Iran ngokuba noma ukuphishekela izikhali zenuzi) abekho lapha, angazi. Kungani umphakathi ungekho, angazi. Ngaphandle kokuthi uJeffrey Sterling akakaze abe nedemoni kwabezindaba ezinkulu.
UJeffrey ubani?
Abanye abantu baye bezwa ngoJames Risen, a New York Times intatheli enqabile ukudalula umthombo wayo ukuze ibike. Kulungile. Kuhle kuye. Kodwa yayiyini indaba futhi uhulumeni wayefuna kubizwe bani njengomthombo? Ah. Leyo mibuzo ingahle ibonakale isobala, kepha ukubika ngoJames Risen kubagweme njengesifo iminyaka neminyaka manje. Futhi abezindaba abazimele abahlale bebahle ekudaleni indaba njengoba benza ngcono ezindabeni eziphuma kumaphephandaba ezinkampani.
UJeffrey Sterling waya kuCongress nendaba yakhe. Wayeyisikhulu se-CIA. Usolwa ngokuyisa indaba yakhe kuJames Risen. Abashushisi baqinisekisa ngokusobala, ngokuphikisana nentshisekelo yabo, ngesikhathi kuqhubeka leli cala, ukuthi abantu abaningi bebeyizindabeni futhi bebengayisa ku-Risen. Uma u-Sterling ezotholakala enecala lokungelona icala lokushaya indweba yobugebengu, abashushisi abakacacisi ukuthi lokho kuzokwenziwa kanjani.
Kodwa ithini indaba? Yibuphi ubugebengu u-Sterling abadalula ngalolo mlonyane omncane wabantu onentshisekelo ngokwanele ukuthi ngabe walilalela? (Impela, incwadi kaRisen “yayithengiswa kakhulu” kodwa lokho kuyisithiyo esincane; akekho noyedwa owayezoba ijaji e-Alexandria owayeyifundile le ncwadi; ngisho nofakazi ohililekile ecaleni ufakaze ngoLwesithathu ukuthi wayefunde isahluko esisodwa kuphela esifanelekile.)
Indaba yilena. I-CIA yenze izinhlelo zengxenye ebalulekile yebhomu lenuzi (okuchazwe isikhulu seCIA ngoLwesithathu ebufakazini baso ngokuthi "amatshe ayigugu" ohlelo lwezikhali zenuzi), yafaka amaphutha ezinhlelweni, yabe isinikeza iRussia izinhlelo ezinephutha e-Iran.
Ngesikhathi kuqhubeka leli cala ngoLwesithathu ekuseni, ofakazi bomshushisi bakubeke kwacaca bobabili ukuthi ukusiza i-Iran ekwenzeni ingxenye yebhomu kwakuyoba emthethweni ngaphansi kwemithetho yokulawula ukuthekelisa kwe-US, nokuthi ngaleso sikhathi babazi ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi babekwenza. okwakha usizo olunjalo.
Ngakho, kungani ukwenza?
Futhi kungani leli cala liqhubeka amahora namahora ngaphandle kokuhambisana nokuncane ekushushiseni uJeffrey Sterling, okuzwakala ngazo zonke izinhloso nezinjongo ezinjengokuvikela i-CIA?
Nokho, isizathu esishiwo salokhu kusebenza, okwaziwa nge-Operation Merlin, bekuwukwehlisa isivinini sohlelo lwezikhali zenuzi lwase-Iran ngokwenza ososayensi base-Iran bachithe isikhathi nezinsiza ohlelweni oluzobhujiswa olungasoze lwasebenza.
Ijaji elincane kakhulu, elimhlophe kakhulu lilalela icala elenziwe kanjena. Uhulumeni wase-US wantula ubufakazi bohlelo lwezikhali zenuzi lwase-Irani futhi akuphelanga sikhathi esingakanani waphuma nokuhlola ukuthi lolu hlelo alukho futhi kwase kunesikhathi lungekho. Noma kunjalo, iminyaka yomzamo kanye nezigidi zamaRandi zazama ukunciphisa uhlelo ngezinyanga. I-CIA idale umklamo, umdwebo, kanye nohlu lwezingxenye zesethi yomlilo wenuzi waseRussia (ingxenye yebhomu lenuzi). Bakwenza ngamabomu kungaphelele ngoba kuthiwa akekho usosayensi wangempela waseRussia ongaba nolwazi oluphelele ngakho. Babe sebetshela umRashiya wabo oqokiwe ukuthi atshele abase-Irani ukuthi yayingaphelele ngoba wayefuna imali, ngemva kwalokho wayezokhiqiza lokho ayengenakukwazi ukuba nakho.
Ngokusho kwentambo eyodwa efundwe ngokuzwakalayo enkantolo, i-CIA ibingathanda ukunikeza i-Iran umshini wangempela osewakhele wona, kodwa ayizange ikwenze lokho ngoba bekungeke kukholakale ukuthi isiRashiya sabo sibe nayo.
Ngaphambi kokuthi isiRashiya sabo sichithe iminyaka (noma yini emfushane bekungeke ikholakale, bathi) bexhumana nabantu base-Irani, ososayensi baseMelika bachithe izinyanga eziyi-9 bakha le divayisi ngamapulani base beqhubeka nokuyihlola elebhu. Bese bethula “amaphutha” amaningi ezinhlelweni futhi bahlola iphutha ngalinye. Babe sebenikeza ithimba labo lososayensi ababengekho ohlelweni lwabo lwe-cockamamie amacebo abo anamaphutha. Ezinyangeni ezinhlanu, labo sosayensi babona futhi balungisa amaphutha okwanele ukuze bakhe umlilo futhi bawenze usebenze elebhu. Lokhu kuthathwe njengempumelelo, sitshelwa, ngoba ama-Irani azothatha isikhathi eside kunezinyanga ezinhlanu, futhi ngoba ukuthola okuthile okuzosebenza ngaphandle kwelebhu kunzima kakhulu.
Okuncomekayo ukuthi, ukuphekwa ngemibuzo kwabameli bommangalelwa kofakazi kuphakamisa ukuthi bathola okuningi kwalokhu kubhuqa. “Wake walubona uhlu lwezingxenye zesiRashiya ngesiNgisi?” munye umbuzo obuzwe ngoLwesithathu. Omunye umbuzo: “Uthi unabantu abanolwazi ekuboneni amaphutha ezinhlelweni zokubasa umlilo. Yingoba kunemakethe ezintweni ezinjalo?” Ijaji lawuphikisa lowo mbuzo wokugcina.
Isisusa esishiwo se-Operation Merlin siwumbhedo welungelo lobunikazi ongenakuchazwa yinoma yiliphi izinga lokungakwazi ukusebenza kahle noma ukungasebenzi kahle kwehhovisi noma i-groupthink.
Nansi enye incazelo yakho kokubili u-Operation Merlin kanye nokuzivikela komshushisi kanye nofakazi babo (ikakhulukazi “u-Bob S.”) ekushushisweni kukaJeffrey Sterling okuze kube manje ohlulekayo ukushushisa uJeffrey Sterling. Lona bekuwumzamo wokutshala izinhlelo ze-nuke e-Iran, ingxenye yephethini echazwe kuyo Incwadi yakamuva kaGareth Porter.
U-Marcy Wheeler ungikhumbuza ngemizamo ehlobene yokutshala izinhlelo ze-nuke zolimi lwesiNgisi ngesikhathi esifanayo noma kungekudala. Kwakukhona laptop yokufa, kamuva kuqalwe kabusha komunye umzamo wokumaketha ngempi. Kwakukhona ama-nuke izinhlelo nezingxenye wangcwatshwa nasemuva kwendlu.
Kungani unikeza i-Iran izinhlelo ezinephutha zengxenye ebalulekile yesikhali senuzi? Kungani uphupha ngokunikeza i-Iran into eseyakhiwe (okungeke kubambezeleke kakhulu uhlelo olungekho lwe-Iran). Ngoba-ke ungaveza ukuthi i-Iran inabo. Futhi ngeke uze uqambe amanga, njengoba kunjalo amadokhumenti athile abathi i-Iraq ithenga i-uranium noma osonkontileka abaqashiwe abenza sengathi amashubhu e-aluminium awezikhali zenuzi. Nge-Operation Merlin ungasebenzisa umlingo wangempela omnyama: Ungakhuluma iqiniso ngokuthi i-Iran inalokhu ofisa ukuthi i-Iran ibonakale inakho.
Kungani kufanele uye emizamweni enjalo? Kungani kwenziwa i-Operation Merlin, noma ngabe bekuyini (izimo) ezikhuthazayo?
Intando yeningi!
Kunjalo.
Kodwa lapho “uBob S.” kubuzwa ukuthi ngubani ogunyaze lo msangano akasho. Uphakamisa ngokucacile ukuthi iqale ngaphakathi kwe-CIA, kodwa igwema imininingwane ethile. Ngenkathi uJeffrey Sterling etshela iCongress, iCongress ayizange iwutshele umphakathi. Futhi lapho othile etshela uJames Risen, uhulumeni wase-US - ethukuthele kakhulu ngokuhlaselwa kwenkululeko yabezindaba eParis - waqala ukudonsa abantu enkantolo.
Nomphakathi awufiki ngisho ukuzobuka leli cala.
Hlanganyelani kuleli cala, bantu. Bika ngakho. Bika iqiniso. Ngeke ube nokuncintisana. Abezindaba abakhulu abekho ekamelweni.
