Guest: John Loftus (the author of four histories about Intelligence
operations, a consultant for CBS 60 MINUTES and ABC - PRIME TIME, among
others. He was a prosecutor with the U.S. Justice Department Nazi
hunting unit with unprecedented access to top secret C.I.A. and NATO
archives)
Eric Shawn: "John Loftus told us about it months ago right here on
Inside Scoop. John, that's why we call it, 'Inside Scoop' - you beat the
New York Times again. Congratulations!"
John Loftus: "Thank you very much."
Eric: "How do you do it?"
John: "Well, ummm, this little country lawyer used to have a Q clearance
for nuclear weapons secrets and I was told about this amazing wiretap
where British Intelligence overheard a call from North Korea to Libya
saying, 'My god, if the Americans ever go into Iraq, they're going to
find out about our nuclear program. And who's going to pay all the Iraqi
nuclear scientists in Libya if Saddam falls?''"
Eric: "You're saying before the war there were Iraqi nuclear scientists
working on a potential bomb in Libya before we launched this [war in
Iraq]?
John: "Yeah. This was a treaty signed by a man called Ali Sobree (sp?).
He was the foreign minister of Iraq. And he went to Khadafy and they
worked out a whole protocol. Khadafy would donate a hollowed out
mountain in Libya; Iraq would provide the nuclear scientists, and North
Korea would provide the uranium. And they would literally make a factory
for nuclear weapons. And once that factory was complete, we had lost the
war on terrorism. People don't realize that even a small nuclear weapon
can kill 300,000 people. That's one hundred 9-11's. So that's why we put
[garbled] bin Laden on the back burner -- we were really focusing on
getting the Ali Sobree protocol - we had to smash that ring."
Eric: "Now when you talk about Saddam and the war on terror - we've had
conversations - your indication is that President Bush understood this
after 9-11 and he was mostly concerned about a nuclear bomb from Libya
or Iraq or Iran."
John: "Eric, that's EXACTLY it. Within a month after 9-11, British
wiretaps showed that we had a MAJOR risk. Nuclear weapons in terrorist's
hands would be devastating. And that's why the president said, 'OK,
we're gonna shift the emphasis from Afghanistan and Osama bin Laden.
We're gonna go into Iraq - that's where the evidence is - we have to
capture Ali Sobree."
Eric: "Yeah, but critics say, 'Oh the war is about oil' - ' The war is
about democracy'. You say there's someting else going on. ..."
John: "This is absolutely necessary, Eric. Had we not smashed the
program, within the next 3 or 4 months - on the schedule they were on -
Libya would have finished the nuclear factory - we couldn't touch it. We
were designing nuclear bunker-busters to try and get into the mountain
[but] even that wouldn't work. Once the Islamic bomb was finished -
America - the rest of the western nations were finished. We couldn't
stand city after city evaporating by nuclear weapons."
Eric: "In other words, going into Iraq, in your view, having Khadafy now
basically give up and surrender everything to us, getting the connection
to North Korea and Iran - was a major strategy in the war on terror?"
John: "It was THE major strategy. Khadafy has now confirmed he is going
to hand the Ali Sobree protocols over to the United States. Sobree,
himself, is now in US custody and he is already scheduled as one of the
first three witnesses in the trial of Saddam Hussein.
Sadam's biggest crime? While he was starving his own people to death,
his money and his scientists were hiding in Libya to make a factory for
nuclear weapons to attack any major power in the world." ..."
