US tried to plant WMDs, failed: whistleblower
June 21 2004
Daily Times Monitor original story

According to a stunning report posted by a retired Navy Lt Commander and 28-year veteran of the Defense Department (DoD), the Bush administration’s assurance about finding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq was based on a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) plan to “plant” WMDs inside the country. Nelda Rogers, the Pentagon whistleblower, claims the plan failed when the secret mission was mistakenly taken out by “friendly fire”, the Environmentalists Against War report.
Nelda Rogers is a 28-year veteran debriefer for the DoD. She has become so concerned for her safety that she decided to tell the story about this latest CIA-military fiasco in Iraq. According to Al Martin Raw.com, “Ms Rogers is number two in the chain of command within this DoD special intelligence office. This is a ten-person debriefing unit within the central debriefing office for the Department of Defense.”

1. Is this a reputable news source? n/t

[Al-CIAda]

3. More importantly, is Nelda Rogers credible.

This I do not know, but have only seen this story one place, and then it disappeared.

[jasmeel]

5. I wondered why the US didn't try to plant WMD - it seems like

something they would do.

[sojourner]

12. ditto

9. Go ahead and google her name. You'll see this story first surfaced

two years ago. The original story has since disappeared.

While nothing this regime does would surprise me, I don't know how credible this particular story is.

14. Google "Nelda Rogers" and there will be results. n/t

7. Black Op Radio???

Geez.

[beam me up scottie]

18. LOL! Even better, it originated at almartinraw.com !

:rofl:

[Toots]

11. No I would not rely upon Martin

He has put out bogus news in the past.

[PunkPop]

2. The link to the original Daily Times Monitor story is broken n/t

[Al-CIAda]

6. Yes it is -I checked too -but when I first came across this it WAS working

Obviously it has since been 'erased'.

[Beaver Tail]

8. They are having general problems with the web site - VB errors

[beam me up scottie]

17. Erased ?

It was hearsay that was over two years old, completely unverifiable and with no credible evidence or source.
It originated on a conspiracy website, maybe that's why it was "erased".

[texastoast]

4. Are we surprised?

Not me. Wonder what the WH will say in doublespeak about this. Interesting that the link to the original story in the Daily Times Monitor inside your link says, "File not found."

[Just Me]

15. Maybe, she will join retired Col. Kwiatoski (sp?) to testify,...

,...at the impeachment proceedings. Yes? }( Wouldn't that be mucho fun!!! }(

16. Who is Nelda Rogers ?

From Mother Jones:

Fake WMD:

Here's my August dive off the deep end. This little story managed to make the out-of-bounds rounds. It seems to have started at what looks like a conspiracy website, almartinraw.com. The url I have for this one is a Pakistani paper, but it also appeared via Yahoo and elsewhere.

***

I was unable to google up anything else at all about Nelda Rogers, so the odds are this is the worst sort of balderdash, but we all have our weaknesses - and the CIA track record for weird plots is such (remember those poisoned cigars that were supposed to take down Castro?) and the need to find wmd in Iraq is such that I couldn't help but wonder. In any case, it seems to me I should be allowed one freebie from Mars this overheated summer.

23. Well, if it is the same Nelda Rogers

I went to school with, she's a pretty straight shooter. I wonder if it could be her.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

19. This was talked about here...

when it first happened. The name Nelda rogers was not mentioned at the time (IIRC) but the story of a planted weapons operations. I think Tiniore was one of the firt DUers to talk about it.

[KoKo]

26. Yes, it was all over DU. But, I remember Nelda Rogers name from a couple

of the articles. I don't know why it's resurfacing just now on some sites that many DU'ers feel aren't credible. Maybe she's for real and couldn't get her story listened to anymore after the first reports. It's only the last few weeks anyone wanted to hear about the lies that brought us into Iraq.

As I remember, most of us thought she was very credible :shrug:

[bullimiami]

20. this has been around for a while

from early in the invasion.

if this is an additional source I start to believe it.

[DemonFighterLives]

21. There was this story a couple of years ago

Don't know whether it was true or not. Supposedly some troop that was with the special mission wrote home about the terrible mess. The 100 dead part rings a bell.

[Terran1212]

24. not that hard to believe

Certainly could be true

[sintax]

25. During the Gulf War

Oil wells were being blown up by US Special Ops forces as well as Iraqi forces.

27. WMD

I always expected Chimp to find some- if you lie to go to war-why not come up with phony WMD.
