James Woolsey's law firm represents the INC



James Woolsey, former CIA Director and prominent 'attack Iraq' proponent, is a partner in the law firm of Shea & Gardner.  Shea & Gardner is registered as a "Foreign Agent" for the Iraqi National Congress.  See:

Shea and Gardner's notification is required under the terms of FARA (the Foreign Agents Registration Act).  FARA attempts to "insure that the American public and its law makers know the source of information (propaganda) intended to sway public opinion, policy, and laws. In 1938, the FARA was Congress' response to the large number of German propaganda agents in the pre-WWII U.S." <http://www.usdoj.gov/criminal/fara/q_A.htm>
 
The leading web e-zine, Salon, today leads with profile of Woolsey.  It's a puff piece, reprinting every half-truth shopped by the INC and nowhere (at this writing) disclosing Woolsey's relationship.  Submit letters, please, online at www.salon.com.
