Woman On Whose Opinion Kerry and McCain Rely About "Moderate" Nature of Rebels, Is PAID Advocate For Rebels

Not surprising, most of what they are relying on made up out of whole-cloth.

Via Huffington Post:

NEW YORK — A Wall Street Journal op-ed cited this week by both Secretary of State John Kerry and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) has drawn scrutiny for not disclosing writer Elizabeth O’Bagy’s ties to a Syrian rebel advocacy group. 

On Thursday, The Daily Caller examined O’Bagy’s role as political director for the Syria Emergency Task Force, a group that has lobbied the White House and Congress to support the rebels. O’Bagy told The Daily Caller that she is not a salaried employee, but serves as a paid contractor. 

Journalist Laura Rozen questioned Friday why the Journal op-ed — which was published a week ago online and in Saturday’s print edition — did not identify O’Bagy’s affiliation with the group. 

The Huffington Post contacted the Journal on Friday and was told the paper would not comment on op-ed’s lack of disclosure. But shortly thereafter, a clarification was added to the piece: “In addition to her role at the Institute for the Study of War, Ms. O’Bagy is affiliated with the Syrian Emergency Task Force, a nonprofit operating as a 501(c)(3) pending IRS approval that subcontracts with the U.S. and British governments to provide aid to the Syrian opposition.” 

O’Bagy, a senior analyst for the Institute for the Study of War who has traveled extensively with rebel forces, wrote in the op-ed that “contrary to many media accounts, the war in Syria is not being waged entirely, or even predominantly, by dangerous Islamists and al Qaeda die-hards.” 

Both Kerry and McCain noted O’Bagy’s findings in addressing Congress’ concerns over whether the Syrian rebels can be trusted.

Thank You Huff Post and Zip. Ain't it wonderful to know that These Alleged People are the 'Mentally Healthy' who keep getting our families, friends and neighbors crippled and killed in their Foreign Adventurings for Political Advantage?

Ain't it reassuring that These are the Geniuses who keep Psychiatry and its ravages on its feet, breathing and feeding, by continuing to let Uncle Sam Fund it?

Here, sample some of Their handiwork.
