John Pilger-Cambodia, The Betrayal part 4-5

In November 1980, the just elected Reagan administration and the Khmer Rouge made direct contact when Dr. Ray Cline, a former deputy director of the CIA, secretly visited a Khmer Rouge operational headquarters inside Cambodia. Cline was then a foreign policy adviser on President-elect Reagan's transitional team. Within a year, according to Washington sources, 50 CIA agents were running Washington's Cambodia operation from Thailand. The dividing line between the international relief operation and the US war became more and more confused. For example, a Defense Intelligence Agency colonel was appointed "security liaison officer" between the United Nations Border Relief Operation (UNBRO) and the Displaced Persons Protection Unit (DPPU). In Washington, sources revealed him as a link between the US government and the Khmer Rouge.

Pilger is the best journalist I've ever seen or read in my entire life. Nobody comes close to his persistent, scrutiny and honesty without fear or favour. It's largely due to men like JP that I now know that governments around the world are peopled by psychopathic nut jobs with no principles at all except self promotion and wealth gathering at any costs to anyone who gets in the way.

That's why when Obama was hailed as some kind of second coming, I knew it was clap trap. He tows the line.

I really dont know how America pinned the tragedy of 9-11 on anyone. With so many enemy's how does one decide who is a suspect. Ironically in another regime change decision from the American government in Chille they bombed Santiago on 9-11 1979.

Interesting how none of Cambodia's problems have anything to do with the Vietnamese imperialists and their puppet regime.

Pol Pot was an American stooge from the start, notice how they don't like to talk about him to this day - let alone support the trials of ex-Khmer Rouge leaders that reveal the truth about the relationship they had.

The Neo-Cons accuse every one who oppose their foreign policies for being a "terrorist" when it was in fact them who are the greatest supporters of terrorism in the 20th century.

Notice that Chomsky's name is on the second Winer letter. If you pause it, you can read the letter.  It makes reference to Drug smuggling and the Iran-contra affair.
