Frank Gregory Ford (also Greg Ford) is a retired US spook.[1]

Iraq torture whistleblower

Ford being interviewed by Kristina Borjesson[2].

Ford – a counterintelligence agent in Iraq - said that he discovered large caches of of Iraqi WMDs after the 2003 invasion, but that his discoveries were brushed under the carpet because the weapons could be traced directly to the US and the Carlyle Group.[3]

In June 2003, Ford requested an investigation into incidents of torture and abuse of detainees he had witnessed. According to Ford, his teammates, three counterintelligence agents like himself — one of them a woman — systematically and repeatedly abused several Iraqi male detainees over a two-to three-week time period. Ford describes incidents of asphyxiation, mock executions, arms being pulled out of sockets, and lit cigarettes forced into detainee's ears while they were blindfolded and bound. These atrocities took place in an Iraqi police station. His attempts to stop the abuse were met with either indifference or threats by his team leader, who was himself one of the abusers. The response came swiftly, but it was not what he had hoped for: Ford was threatened, kidnapped, strapped to a gurney, and medevac'd to Germany and then the USA.[4]

911 foreknowledge

Greg Ford has testified that he was present in July 2000 at Fort Huachuca, a US Army Counterintelligence Training Center in Arizona, when Able Danger terrorist-hunter Anthony Shaffer briefed Ford's group on two sets of alleged al-Qaeda terrorists who were "going to hijack passenger planes and fly them into the World Trade Center".[4]

Syria

While Obama's Department of Justice seeks to shield the Bush Administration by declaring their war crimes "business as usual," his Department of Defense prepares to eliminate hard evidence of those crimes by destroying Syria's stockpile of weapons of mass destruction. Those WMDs came from us.

I saw canisters, "bombs," of VX/GF in storage in Iraq. They were tagged showing they were shipped there from Ft. Rucker, Alabama by the Carlyle Group, the giant blue-ribbon finance-and-weapons conglomerate, home to former-President George H.W. Bush and other prominent war profiteers.

The nerve agent VX is the deadliest chemical weapon ever made. It is useful only for the indiscriminate destruction of human and animal life. It has been outlawed internationally, most recently by the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1993, by the Biological and Toxic Weapons Convention of 1972 and the Geneva Protocol of 1925.

We supplied VX to Iraq’s leader, Saddam Hussein, before we named him an enemy. He used it in his war against Iran and against civilian Iraqi Kurds. I learned from an Iraqi official that just before our 2003 invasion Saddam shipped great quantities of gold and nerve gas to Syria. I reported this "actionable intelligence" to my superiors, but no action followed.

The stockpile I saw was never shipped out of Iraq. It was hidden from weapons inspectors until I and others saw it in 2003, just days after we invaded. It was soon removed from its concealment by British specialists and destroyed.

It is virtually certain that this weapons cache is targeted in our run-up to an attack on Syria—as before, with Iraq—for using U.S.-made weapons. The attack is also virtually certain to eliminate evidence of complicity by the Bush presidents, father and son, who, through their positions as American presidents and as associates of the Carlyle Group and myriad other military contractors, provided them to the warring nations of the Middle East.

As with Iraq, Afghanistan and so many of America’s recent military engagements, this looming rebuke to Bashar al-Assad for allegedly using internationally outlawed American-made weapons, will fall on a vastly smaller opponent. Syria has a population of fewer than 23 million highly vulnerable men, women and children in a country that would fit in Texas almost four times. The capital, Damascus, the home of the government and location of the WMD stockpile, is the oldest continuously occupied city in the world.[5]
