US journalist who attended dinner parties held by Craig Spence | |
William Lewis Safire was an American author, columnist, journalist, and presidential speechwriter for Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew.
Craig Spence
Safire regularly attended dinner parties held by Craig Spence, a deep state actor who organized a sexual blackmail ring in Washington DC in the 1980s.[1]
2003 Iraq war
Safire was one of several voices who called for war with Iraq, and predicted a "quick war" and wrote: "Iraqis, cheering their liberators, will lead the Arab world toward democracy."[2] He consistently brought up the point in his Times columns that an Iraqi intelligence agent met with Mohamed Atta, one of the 9/11 attackers, in Prague,[3] which he called an "undisputed fact".
He also incorrectly predicted that "freed scientists" would lead coalition forces to "caches [of weapons of mass destruction] no inspectors could find".[4]
