Jamie Glaziv had a must read interview in Frontpage Magazine yesterday. Dave Gaubatz, the first U.S. civilian (1811) Federal Agent deployed to Iraq in 2003, speaks out about the barbaric treatment and heinous deaths of US soldiers, and reveals that he kept Congress members - specifically calling out VP Biden - completely informed on the intel they gained, and the lives it saved.
He also notes that never once did the Congress members ask what methods they used to obtain the intelligence.
Gaubatz is disturbed that the current administration, and the Congress members he helped keep informed, now turn their backs on the truth, hamper intelligence gathering, and abandon the US intel gathers in order to throw their support to detainee rights. To this end, he promises to release documents and photos from 2003.
Our troops knew in 2003 we were facing an ‘evil ideology’ of Islamic terrorists, many died, and many more will likely sacrifice their lives because we have politicians who care more for their careers than they do the security of our nation.I am releasing several never before seen documents and photographs I obtained while working counter-intelligence/counter-intelligence in 2003. Why? Because the intelligence gathering abilities of our brave officers is being hampered, this translates into our country facing a national security threat from Islamic terrorists. This means our children will become their targets.
I believe it disturbs many Americans and the intelligence officers that now we have liberal Democrats in office who know the truth about the sufferings of our troops, and now stand up for the rights of Islamic terrorists who may have to be pushed around to save our troops. I will not be one responsible for their deaths and the sufferings their parents will go through simply because a politician wants to placate the liberals who care more for Islamic terrorists than they do for their neighbor’s son or daughter fighting for our country.
Gaubatz also noted that he took his civilian assignment with the full knowledge that, if captured, he would be considered an enemy spy under the Geneva Convention and likely executed... and that the US government would not be able to prevent this. This would be the same GC that everyone reveres today as the guideline for detainee treatment including anything that constitutes "mental" torture.
He noted he documented his contacts with Congress members, regularly inquiring about obtained intelligence.

Mr. Gaubatz, Sir.
Take no prisoners and let no member of Congress whom you briefed escape unscathed.

Have Mrs Daniel Pearl or the father of Nick Berg yet joined in condemning waterboarding of KSM?
My understanding is that poor torture victim KSM wielded the knife that cut off Daniel Pearl’s head, and videotaped himself doing it.
Outstanding article. BTT.
I read the entire article previously here on FR. It was certainly a sobering account. Just once, I wish our government wouldn’t cover up the truth. What our guts told us was happening, happened. As my young son prepares to leave for OCS, I only ask one thing — tell HIM the truth, even if you won’t tell me.
It is beyond my comprehension as to why citizens are not rioting in the streets in condemnation of these traitorous politicians, both Democrat and Republican.
Waterboarding is too nice and proper for the Scum that perpetrated 9-11! The RATS better wake up! They are Killing Our Innocent Military and Civilians by Enboldening Our Enemy and Trashing Our Military!(Specific Examples: Murtha calling Our Marines Murderers when They were NOT!, Lurch Kerry taing We were Raiding Innocent Iraqis in the middle of the night, We were NOT! Etc,Etc, Etc!)
Very interesting read.
It will be a shame that Mr.Gaubatz will be financially ruined, institutionalized and a broken man in a few short years.
Democrats are not to be trifled with when it comes to putting them in situations where they might be held accountable
Wow. The corruption is bad, reminiscent of the fall of South Vietnam debacle... except this time, well... it figures.
With their honeyed lies, and PC approach, and never wrong and never punished Dr. Spock lives, they are not used to being called what they have become.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
