A spook story for Halloween

“I was not in journalism.” So says Alexis Debat, the French "terror consultant" for ABC exposed as a fraud when he published fake interviews with Barack Obama and other worthies. The bogus stories appeared in a French periodical linked to Benador, a PR firm notorious for its pro-war stance and neocon clientele. ABC says they double-checked Debat's work for the network and found no inaccuracies.
When reached by NYTV, he said that he was the verge of moving to the Middle East soon. Where? “I don’t know yet,” said Mr. Debat. What will he do for employment? “I can’t tell you,” he said.

Mr. Debat also declined to discuss the questions previously raised about his work, his employment and his legal fees.
Dig it: He knows that he is going to the Middle East -- but he doesn't know exactly where. Does that make sense to you? His words paint a portrait of an operative waiting to hear the details of his next assignment. And just who did pay his legal fees?

This cryptic statement tends to buttress my belief that Debat was a French intelligence operative recruited by the Americans. See here and here -- and take special note of the neocon links outlined here.
