Just who is this Mr. Gates, anyway?
Ever since Rumsfeld resigned, I've been wondering what this new guy's story is.
Now, I'm not saying this article has the answers, because it seems to be long on speculation and short on facts, but might this be a glimmer of things to come?
I genuinely don't know. In fact, it seems a little tenuous. I'm not trying to infer anything by posting this, just passing the info along, as it's the first bit of dirt I've heard on the guy:
Blackmail and Bobby Gates
"One risk of putting career intelligence officer Robert Gates in charge of the Defense Department is that he has a secret – and controversial – history that might open him to pressure from foreign operatives, including some living in countries of U.S. military interest, such as Iran and Iraq.."
"--Did Gates participate in secret and possibly illegal contacts with Iranian leaders from the 1980 election campaign through the Iran-Contra scandal of 1986?"

"--Did Gates oversee a clandestine pipeline of weapons and other military equipment to Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq starting in 1982?"
