MOSSAD Posing As CIA To Recruit Against Iran

#8  Actually, I think that if MOSSAD isn't doing this, then they should. The Russians spent a lot of the Cold War fabricating an undeserved reputation for the CIA, that they were omniscient and omnipresent, and everyone should fear them, which actually saved the CIA a lot of work.

A LOT of Iranians are sick of their government, but were MOSSAD to approach them directly they would refuse, because of the stigma. But the same Iranians would be thrilled to work with the CIA.

Truthfully, those most upset by this would not be the CIA, who like soldiers are rarely resentful at others putting their own rear ends on the line for a common goal, but instead people like the State Department and other REMFs, who get huffy on behalf of other people.

From what you posted about him, Willy, I don't believe anything the guy says.

#6  Thank you, Willy. That's useful to judge the gentleman's effusions. It sounds like he he is trying to sell Iran's propaganda to an audience that ought to know better but probably doesn't, given the decision by the FP editors that this would be of interest to their readers.

This Foreign Policy report is from Mark Perry, former co-Director of the Washington, D.C., London, and Beirut-based Conflicts Forum, which specializes in engaging with Islamist movements in the Levant in dialogue with the West. Perry served as co-Director for over five years.

Perry served as an unofficial adviser to PLO Chairman and Palestinian President Yasser Arafat from 1989 to 2004.

He is a frequent guest commentator and expert on Al-Jazeera television, has appeared regularly on CNN’s The International Hour and on Special Assignment.
