	Nathan Callahan / A Letter from Karen Kwiatkowski
		Col. Karen Kwiatkowski, a lifelong conservative, was appalled as the neocon wing of the Bush administration, including her superiors at the Pentagon Planning Department, ignored internal dissent, disregarded its own intelligence and arrogantly pushed for a war with Iraq.
		According to Kwiatkowski, the Office of Special Plans at the Pentagon —; a pet project of Vice President Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld — was a prime mover in what she calls a "neoconservative coup, a hijacking of the Pentagon."
		Kwiatkowski is a columnist with Military Week, a regular contributor to LewRockwell.com, and has had articles about her work with the Department of Defense published recently in the American Conservative.

	Q & A
		KWIATKOWSKI: Well, I was actually against the war when I was in the Pentagon, and the reason had to do with what I felt to be lies, not so much lies told to the American people, but lies, in fact, promulgated on us inside the Pentagon.
		KWIATKOWSKI: I never talked to him, and I’m - and I regret it to this day, because he is a wonderfully - well, he passed away last year, and I never met him and I never spoke to him.
		KWIATKOWSKI: The Office of Special Plans had one primary job, and that was to produce a set of talking points on the topic of Iraq, WMD and terrorism, and we were to use them in any document that we prepared exactly as they were written in their entirety.

		Karen, Bush aside, it doesn't sound as though you've read Madison's Notes on the debates at the founding convention.
		The whole point of the convention was to overcome the weaknesses of the Confederation of states by developing a proposal for their union under a central government.
		Karen, WaPo journalist Dana Priest said in recent talk-back session that Pentagon "OSP" was quote "one small office" and could not have influenced Bush on Iraq war.

	Inquest Iraq - Karen U. Kwiatkowski
		Karen Kwiatkowski was a desk officer in the Office of Secretary of Defense Near East and South Asia directorate (NESA) from May 2002 to February 2003.
		It was from this office, Kwiatkowski wrote, that desk officers writing policy papers had to get their talking points whenever they wrote something that might include reference to the Iraq threat, WMD and terrorism in general.
		Kwiatkowski went public with her criticisms after her retirement, writing magazine articles and appearing as a commentator in the documentaries Hijacking Catastrophe, Honor Betrayed, and Why We Fight.

	Asia Times -Insider fires a broadside at Rumsfeld's office
		Kwiatkowski went on to charge that the operations she witnessed during her tenure in Feith's office, and particularly those of an ad hoc group known as the Office of Special Plans (OSP), constituted "a subversion of constitutional limits on executive power and a co-option through deceit of a large segment of the Congress".
		Kwiatkowski's charges, which tend to confirm reports and impressions offered to the press by retired officers from other intelligence agencies and their still-active but anonymous former colleagues, are likely to make her a prime witness when Congress reconvenes in September for hearings on the manipulation of intelligence to justify war against Iraq.
		Kwiatkowski's broadside coincides with the appearance in neo-conservative media outlets, notably the Wall Street Journal, of defenses of Feith, who is widely seen as the Pentagon's most likely fall guy if it is forced to shoulder blame for bad intelligence and planning.

		KWIATKOWSKI: Okay -- There were some examples of American reporters who -- within the constraints of their employment -- were able and did ask many of these hard questions, and expose some of this stuff.
		KWIATKOWSKI: Well in the Fall of 2002, the Office of Special Plans was formally split off from where I worked in Near East South Asia to be its own entity.

		The Steinberg memorandum of the Kwiatkowski conversation is a study in conspiracy and innuendo.
		Based on Kwiatkowski's recollection that she bumped into a Fletcher School classmate of Deputy Undersecretary of Defense Bill Luti on the platform of the Pentagon Metro station, Steinberg speculates that there may be a wider Israeli conspiracy.
		In her conversation with Steinberg, Kwiatkowski chided colleagues for alleged violations of standard Pentagon procedure, and yet ironically got wrong such basics as the escort ratio between Pentagon employees and visitors.

		Karen is thorough, well-founded, extremely intelligent, an excellent communicator, knows the whole power apparatus, and able to see and set her topics into the bigger context.
		The biography appended to Kwiatkowski's first article at lewrockwell.com, dated April 9, 2003, says she "is a recently retired USAF lieutenant colonel." Assuming Kwiatkowski put in the minimum twenty years, she would have worked for the Department of Defense during all of Reagan's, Bush's, and Clinton's wars.
		Kwiatkowski's "hypocrisy," apparently unaware that serving members of the military are legally and traditionally discouraged to exhibit or implement overtly political views.

		Kwiatkowski was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the US Air Force in 1978 and retired as a Lieutenant Colonel with 25 years of military service.
		Kwiatkowski's attackers have almost uniformly been supporters of the war on Iraq and of the Bush administration's foreign policy in general.
		For one thing, after a summary of it was distributed via email by an EIR editor, Kwiatkowski rebutted a number of that editor's assertions as to what she had said and meant.

		KWIATKOWSKI: If their claims were true, and we had a declaration of war with Iraq, then possibly we could say we must extend the war.
		KWIATKOWSKI: If the Air Force and Navy leadership stood up, sided with the Army and Marines, and said to the President, the media and the Congress that they are finished with this stupid Middle East policy, and they all quit on the spot, an attack on Iran would not happen under the Bush administration.

	Karen Kwiatkowski for President
		Since other Libertarian Party members are offering suggestions for our 2008 presidential candidate, Libertarian Peacenik hereby nominates the woman who should have been our candidate in 2004: Virginia LP member Karen Kwiatkowski.
		As a retired military officer, she had the expertise to debate foreign affairs and national security -- the big issues of 2004 -- on a level playing field with Kerry and Bush.
		She did not request our endorsement, and to the best of our knowledge, is not currently a candidate for president.

	God Bless Karen Kwiatkowski
		Now Kwiatkowski calls for the “Murder of the State.” Her rhetoric is that of a Patriot harkening back to the founding fathers, but yet she uses the Iraqi insurgency as a reference for how to mount a resistance to totalitarianism.
		Karen Kwiatkowski and I are representative of these two poles, respectively.
		Just as those of us on the left have to be disabused of the notion that the Democratic Party can be our imperfect rescue vehicle, principled libertarians like Kwiatkowski need to exert pressure on their own comrades to refocus their center of gravity away from the parliamentary tarpits of the Republican Party.

	INTERVIEW WITH Lt. Col. KAREN KWIATKOWSKI
		I can think of no one more qualified to address this matter than Lt. Colonel Karen Kwiatkowski, who blew the whistle on the Pentagon's "Office of Special Plans," a cadre of neoconservative planners, operating off-the-books and outside accepted intelligence channels, whose sole mission was to build the case on Iraq's WMD capability.
		According to repeated statements by Kwiatkowski, members of the OSP - few, if any, of whom had any background in intelligence gathering or analysis whatsoever - were engaged in a coordinated effort to "cherry-pick" data which happened to support their objective, while ignoring any data that might have undermined the goal of war with Iraq.
		Karen Kwiatkowski retired from the Air Force in July of 2003, after 20 years of service.
