Poised To Become CIA Head
Here's a short bit of background on Deutch, his past positions and jobs, written in the final days before his confirmation as Director of Central Intelligence.
Dear Diary
Deutch was also keeping his diary apparently on the same home computer as the classified material. He was not a happy man, feeling that he was suited for a promotion to top slot in the Pentagon, it says here. That is a comforting thought, that this guy is so close to the real secret team.
Clinton Names Deutch To High Post At Defence
This is the notice of Deutch being named to his post as Under-secretary of Defense for Acquisitions and Technology. Great place to get to know where the money is. Eric Von Marbod had this job too, who became a partner in the company 'Eatsco', with Richard Secord, and Thomas Cline, ripping off the Pentagon at least US$8 million.
How Bad Was CIA Chief's Computer Blunder?
We'd tell you, but then we'd have to kill you. Seriously, it wasn't as serious as Wen Ho Lee's transgression. Serious disinformation here, so watch out. This is an apology, and denial of the severity of the crime, and the hypocrisy of locking up Wen Ho Lee, for allegedly doing something a few CIA agents have also been reprimanded for doing recently, including Deutch.
Deutch Case Prompts Wider Security Investigations By Congress
Another look at congress doing too little too late to stop CIA mishandling of security, and misleading Congress about it. The CIA is in the business of LYING. Is it so hard to remember this? Rep. Porter Goss, (R-FL) accuses the Clinton administration of fostering a "culture of disdain about security." Now that's harsh!
CIA Suspends Former Director's Security Clearance
This report (August 24th, 1999) clearly shows that the CIA at least knew that its former director, John Deutch, had committed nearly the exact same 'crime' as nuclear scientist Wen Ho Lee has been accused of, but they put Lee in solitary confinement, where he remains at this writing.
Deutch Nominated For Defense Department Number Two Spot
An article (February 25th, 1994), about Deutch's move to his Under-secretary of Defense for acquisitions and technology. That's the guy who handles a lot of the Department of Defense's black budget government cash.
Deutch Discusses His Role At MIT
Deutch talks about what he does in his post at MIT, where the government spent loads of money of grants to research projects, which Deutch surely has a lot of inside information about.
Raul Salinas, Private Banking, Citibank, And Alleged Money Laundering
Raul Salinas laundered at least US$100 million through Citibank of New York, between 1992 and 1994, just to illustrate the kind of banking that Citibank private banking specializes in!
Lawmaker Calls For Delay
As a member of the banking committee, I have become extremely concerned with the use of the so-called 'private banking system at Citicorp/Citibank and other larger financial institutions by drug traffickers and money launderers, this article quotes Rep. Maxine Waters as saying. Sounds like just the place for the ex-CIA Director to do his banking, especially one that flew to California in 1996 to reassure the residents of South Central LA that the CIA did not, and does not, ever, work with drug traffickers. Then his own CIA IG, Fred Hitz, released his report on cocaine and the contras, and blew those denials on the part of Deutch out of the water.
Raytheon Company Home Page
Here is another defense contractor Deutch did more consultant work for.
Massachusetts Institute Of Technology
Here is where Deutch is a Professor now, along with holding down his lucrative defense contractor consulting positions.
CIA Admits Lapse In Security Breach Disclosure
It would be a little difficult for the CIA to not admit the 'lapse' now, but have they arrested Deutch yet? No. Is anyone even talking about arresting this guy yet? No. All they are talking about is, "Gee, wonder if we'll get the privilege of hearing Deutch testify, and probably lie and cover-up to us," is what Congress is saying now, as I write (February 8th, 2000).
CIA Chief Defends Handling Of Probe Of Predecessor
CIA director George Tenent defends his handling of the investigation into the mishandling of classified secrets by his former boss. Initial reports in the 'New York Times' newspaper said that the CIA had basically stonewalled the investigation, covering for Deutch. Tenent denies it, much to my surprise, the cover-up I mean. Tenent denies the CIA tried to cover-up anything, or go easy on his former boss.
CIA Report: Deutch Had Secrets On Home Computer
Here is the 'Fox News' report (February 22nd, 2000) outlining briefly the declassified version of the CIA's own report on Deutch's incredible 'sloppiness' in handling classified material on his unclassified computer. Oh yeah, Deutch finally testified to Congress, in closed session. It doesn't matter if the public ever knows, right? 'They' know best for us.
But Did She Do Windows?
This very brief note from the 'Washington Post' (February 28th, 2000) reveals that Deutch, or the CIA itself, handed over the codes needed to enter and exit the Deutch home while they were not there to the Deutch's housecleaner, a non-US citizen. This scanty report does not include the nationality of the woman. She had the code to get into the closet where Deutch kept his safe full of classified documents. Who was John Deutch spying for again?
Probe Expands Into Former CIA Director
Deutch had at least 235 pages of classified material on his three home computers, Sen. Richard Shelby wants to further investigate for signs of cover-up, and the CIA may even refuse Congress an unclassified copy of the CIA IG Report outlining Deutch's incredible disregard of the 'rule of law,' as Clinton was so fond of spouting off about not so long ago.
Ex-CIA Director, Curing Inquiry, Helped An Aide
Not only is Deutch holding lots of insider shares of Citicorp., he was offering high paying jobs to the CIA investigators investigating his mishandling of high-level state secrets. Boy, nothing suspicious there, is there? What a thieving, duplicitous hypocrite!
Back-Stabbing, CIA Style
If the spooks spent as much time conspiring to get rid of Saddam Hussein as they did trying to ruin each other, the Iraqi dictator would be playing golf with Baby Doc Duvalier instead of pulling out the fingernails of CIA agents in Baghdad, this 'Salon' magazine article states. Petty infighting is tearing the Company apart, aside from the countless outside enemies thronging at the gates.
Citibank Probed Over Dirty Money
The US 'Senate Governmental Affairs' Subcommittee has been investigating Citibank and its Private Banking service, suspecting that Citibank is assisting in the laundering money from drugs, corrupt government officials, and tax evaders from around the world.
Minority Staff Report For Permanent Subcommittee On Investigations Hearing On Private Banking And Money Laundering Nov.
This is a report on US private banking and its susceptibility to money laundering.
CIA Defends Breach That Mixed Porn And Secrets
The attention paid to the Porn accessing is mere disinformation, a distraction from the fact that Deutch is not only doing a similar thing to Wen Ho Lee on his home computer, he has a personal banking relationship with Citibank, which is itself under investigation for laundering corrupt officials' money from all over the world.
Was Lee Indicted, And Not Deutch?
Another good hard look, questioning why it is that Deutch, who illegally moved massively secret stuff to his massively unsecret computer, has faced no criminal charges?
Deutch Denies Clearance Appeal
White House Cuba Policy coordinator Richard Nuccio had his security clearance revoked for giving covert operation information to Rep. Robert Torricelli, about a CIA asset in Guatemala who had an American murdered. Deutch made sure that Nuccio did not get his clearance reinstated, at least not at the time of this article (December 6th, 1999), right before Deutch was departing the CIA, and right at the beginning of the investigation into his own mishandling of official secrets. What a hypocrite!
SAIC Corp
This is one of the defense contractors Deutch did consulting work for.
The CIA Must Come Clean
Here Melvin Goodman goes through many of the examples of recent scandalous behavior on the part of CIA directors, including that evil man Bill Casey, who made sure to allow tons of drugs into the US to help fund the Contra war, and Robert Gates lying about his knowledge of 'Iran/Contra'. Read this great piece, then click on the links to other CIA horror stories and scandals by Goodman.
CIA Probes Self
The article in the newspaper this morning raised the rhetorical question, 'Can the CIA police itself?' The answer is we can, and we did, CIA Director George Tenet says with a straight face here in this piece. The main difference between the CIA and Lee, is Lee hasn't lied, as far as anyone can prove, but Deutch, while not exactly lying, still broke the law, admittedly, repeatedly.
Senate Committee Targets Deutch
Senator Richard Shelby, chairman of the Senate 'Select Committee on Intelligence', told CBS 'Early Show' that, "This is very strange behavior, very suspicious. It's unprecedented to my knowledge." This article notes that the FBI has no plans to prosecute Deutch, but they sure as hell felt the need to prosecute Wen Ho Lee, so badly they lied right to his face, telling him he failed a polygraph. It took a whistle blower complaining about the CIA's farce of investigation to get Deutch's security clearance removed in the first place, the CIA initially having recommended only simple 'counseling' for Deutch.
Don't Let Deutch Off The Hook
Sometimes it seems the only secrets the Clintonites tried to keep were the details of the President's office trysts, begins this editorial from the 'New York Post' newspaper (February 4th, 2000). It also deftly points out that if anyone should have known the dangers of taking classified material home and putting it into his unsecured home computer, it should be the nation's "top spook."
Senate Asks Why Ex-CIA Boss Had Files
Deutch may have been sloppy, and stupid, really really dumb taking all those classified documents home to his computer, but no one thinks he committed espionage, said Tenet. Oh boy, that's a good one! And the CIA never tried to kill Castro either! How do we know when to believe the CIA about anything?
No Evidence Classified Material Got On Internet, CIA Director Says
And there is no evidence that it did not get on the Internet, especially since the same computer was going onto outside, unsecured phone lines, and web-sites. Not only was he breaking 'National Security' laws, but Deutch is a pervert too. Great, what a team we have in the CIA!
US Firms Aiding Iraqi Oil Industry
This article from the 'Washington Post' newspaper (February 20th, 2000) describes how a number of US officials sit on the boards of various corporations that are actively working to help Iraq sell its oil, and it is "perfectly legal." The UN has been treating the business arrangements as "confidential," to spare any of the "special people" involved the embarrassment of the rest of the world finding out that it has been hoodwinked. Deutch sits on the board of Schlumberger Ltd, four years after he was assisting, as Director of the CIA, to overthrow Saddam Hussein. Schlumberger Ltd. is now facilitating the servicing of Iraqi Oil rigs. Let's make some money guys!
CIA Probe Of Ex-Chief Is Revisited
The Justice Department, and Janet Reno, say that they are going to look again at the fact that Deutch was taking home hundreds of classified documents home to his unsecured computers, where ANYONE could have gotten their grimy little hands on them. The Senate Intelligence committee says "That's nice," to the Justice Department statement, but also make note that they will continue their own investigation into these troubling allegations and circumstances.
FBI To Aid Justice Dept. In New Look At Security Breach Case
This piece from 'Philadelphia News' (March 3rd, 2000) reports that former CIA general counsel Michael J. O'Neil refused to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee unless he was given immunity from prosecution, which seems a pretty obvious admitting of wrong doing, quite possibly by himself, and other CIA officials, in their not alerting anyone outside the CIA until way to late to prosecute, or so they thought, about Deutch's 'sloppiness' in taking home top secret documents and storing them on his wide open home computer. The FBI was looking more at Deutch himself, rather than the known alleged top secret sloppiness, to see if there was more to this story.
Security Risk, Or Revenge?
Here you can read about how one of the top money laundering experts in the government was fired for an apparently much less serious form of security breach than Deutch, he figures because he had blown the whistle on two high ranking government officials in the US State Department.
