Blog Buzz: Fighting Out of Iraq, Media Out of Debates, Never Out of Paul, and the McCain-Newsweek Spat

Posted May 12, 2008

Stories and topics lighting up the Internet today:

How Cease Is That Fire?

News of a cease-fire agreement in Baghdad between the Iraqi government and the Sadr forces is being greeted with skepticism from all points of the ideological compass, including Juan Cole and Spence Ackerman on the left and Red State's Jeff Emanuel on the right.

Cutting Out Their Base

The McCain and Obama camps are angling to brand the other guy as the bigger media darling but at the same time may cut the press out of the debates—an idea greeted with mixed enthusiasm by Carpetbaggers Steve Benen and with no excitement at all by TNR's Noam Scheiber. The Standard's Dean Barnett says not to worry, that Obama will find a way out of the idea in the end anyway.

PaulWatch

Ron Paul's forces continue to plug away with an eye toward fun in Minnesota, causing Attytood's Will Bunch to wonder which party's convo will have the bigger fireworks. Josh Patashnik at TNRs The Plank ID's South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford as a Paul-like Republican and wonders whether McCain would really consider such a man on the ticket. (Buzz colleague James Pethokoukis sources a GOP fundraiser as putting Huckabee at the top of the McCain's short list.)

McCain vs. Newsweek

Newsweek's cover on Obama prompted a Mark Salter letter of outrage, which has received a chorus of "amens" from the rightward sections of the Net. TNR's Michael Crowley wonders whether Salter shouldn't confine his writing to McCain's speeches.

As a former military prosecutor, this story gave me a terrible feeling because I personally knew the Fort Dix Officer Lieutenant Colonel xxx, that allegedly aided and abetted xxx’s Actions. I recalled that the Officer bragged about his association with Robert Egan back in 2003 but I did not believe him at the time. So I did my research.

In my opinion, The North Korean Nuclear threat which ties into the continuing Iranian nuclear weapons development is real and there are confirmed ties of North Korea's Uranium enrichment program to Iran, Syria and others. However, the ties may have been aided by United States Citizen xxx, who is a current United ......

I am not sure why it takes so long to prosecute people like Robert Egan and Mark Winkler. Egans reports in vanity fair NPR washington post etc is an obvious case of acting as an unregistered agent for a foreign nation, if Egan were in contact with Saddam’s government and tried to set up the prewar visit for our lawmakers. To make matters worse, If Egan tried to get rich from it by trading influence with American lawmakers for an oil payment from Saddam he would have been arrested. This type of behavior is rampant in the US and goes unchecked and is a serious breach of security. Egans behavior with North Korean agents is far worse because Egan may have unfettered access to United States Military secrete material on fort dix which includes our location of potential terrorist targets like our bridges tunnels, nuclear and chemical power plants and the Homeland security monitoring schedules and New Jersey National Guard troop movements to protect these critical sites through his friend and lawyer LTC Mark winkler of the New Jersey Army National Guard JAG office. New Jersey American Citizen Robert Egan, an owner of a restaurant called cubbies in Hackensack NJ, doing the very same thing with North Korea. However this guys lawyer keeps him out of trouble, the only problem is Egan’s lawyer is a Lieutenant Colonel in the New Jersey Army National Guard n Fort Dix, (Mark Winkler, Esq. of Franklin Lakes NJ) and his lawyer may have received payments through his client Egan from North Korea. Egan pays his lawyer by referring him other clients who need asylum from Korea, North Vietnam etc, who have no money but Egan finances their asylum legal fees which are disguised as payments he makes to his lawyer who gets rich from this affiliation. TO make matters worse this lawyer, threatens anyone who talks to the media or law enforcement about him and files false harassment charges against anyone who tries to stop him. The lawyer recently told a female officer on Fort Dix, all about his clients operation and passing of secrets to N. Korea and the client’s knowledge of a North Korean uranium enrichment program which was in fact shared with Iranian government and aided the Iranian program. The lawyer threatened the female officer and used Fort Dix, officers to pursue unjust prosecution and conviction against the female officer, for petty disorderly harassment, to ensure she is discredited and cannot talk to law enforcement. This is really a problem since the Lawyer is a high level New Jersey army National Guard Lawyer who has ties to troop movements, military secretes and god knows what he passed to N Korea through his friendship with his client. The only way this story will be investigated and the people involved stopped are if the media holds Egan and his lawyer responsible for their actions. Many people have been harmed by these two including Hackensack NJ police officers whom the lawyer targeted in the past and tape recorded and threatened. Hackensack police chief kosener can confirm Winker represents Egan and has caused the city of Hackensack and the police department a lot of trouble. The female officer winkler targeted was forced to retire from the military and winkler used the US attorney’s office in Newark NJ run by Christopher Christie to target and file and prosecute false disorderly persons harassment charges against her when the military should have had jurisdiction over the case since the allegations concerned conduct which occurred while both winker and the female officer were both on military duty, but because the US attorney’s office gives the fort dix jags great discretion to appoint jag fort dix prosecutors to prosecute in magistrate court on fort dix, Winkler used his influence and tapped into racial bias to get the jags to pursue an unjust conviction for petty disorderly persons conviction against the female officer, which now Winkler used the conviction to notify the officers employer at the office of the attorney general to get her fired from her civilian employer and he also lied to her employer and passed faze information about a valid summons and complaint she signed in Hackensack nj as a citizens complaint filed against winkler for threatening her. Winkler had false information passed to the officers job with the nj attorney general that she misused her job as an attorney general employee to sign the Hackensack nj summons and complaint and this allegation is patently false since the form she signed was presented to her by a Hackensack police desk sergeant, and Hackensack police chief ed koesner will confirm she did nothing wrong. The only way to correct this injustice is for the media to contact US Attorney Christopher Christies office and remove the case from the jurisdiction of the special prosecutors on Fort Dix who are handling the case which is now on appeal with the district court, and the US attorney’s office can reassign it to a neutral US attorney not affiliated with fort dix, and review the facts and circumstances of the trial and unjust conviction to determine if the case should in fact be dismissed. Also the media must pursue the potential threats Winkler and his client pose to national security ASAP by simply reporting what Egan does, who he associates with in N Korea, and who his attorney is and report the fact that Egan’s attorney Winkler was questioned by FBI and US army Military Intel officers on this issue last year. Finally, the female officer will be a key cooperating witness and the unjust conviction is the only thing that damages her credibility against Winkler, Please stop this threat and report the risk Egan poses to national security for being able to trade with North Korea and take several trips there and act as an unregistered agent for North Korea. Please stop this person from destroying any more honest and brave people that tried to expose this but are being prosecuted and targeted by wither Winkler or Egan.
