Memorandum – December 7, 2007

To: McClendon Study Group

From: John Edward Hurley, Chairman

Our next meeting will be on Wednesday, December 12th, 7 p.m., at the National Press Club.

With the quality of U.S. intelligence coming under increasing scrutiny by Congress and the media, the appearance of our guest for this session is especially propitious. He is John Loftus, President of the Intelligence Summit and host of the internationally syndicated broadcast of the Loftus Report.

Loftus will review documents recently discovered in Saddam's secret archives as well as satellite photos that may reopen the debate about missing Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) in the Middle East. An Executive Summary explains how the Iraqi archives consistently document that Saddam really did have WMD projects (including A-bomb research) late into 2002. On the eve of war in 2003, Russian Special Forces evacuated Saddam's WMD material across the border to a storage area in Syria.

It is no coincidence, Loftus says, that on September 6, 2007, this area, Dayr as Zorr, Syria, was bombed by the Israel Defense Forces. Loftus argues that it was not a Syrian nuclear reactor that was destroyed, but a radiological weapons factory built on the same site as Saddam's secret storehouse for WMD. Israeli sources allege that the North Koreans were helping Syria mix highly enriched uranium (HEU) from Iraq with North Korean plutonium to make super-toxic dirty bombs. Given Syria's close alliance with Iran, Loftus says, it seems quite plausible that Syria has served as a secret nuclear weapons storage site for both Iraq and Iran. Loftus also explores the possibility that the recent National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on Iran was tainted by the same Russian disinformation that successfully concealed the Iraqi WMD from discovery.

Don't miss this opportunity to get the details on what could be the most massive disinformation program of our time. So plan to be with us…and please remember to bring a friend.
