Files discovered in Libya show American company and Congressman had dealings with loyalists [Video]

It is pretty well known that American companies have no compunctions when it comes to dealing with foreign states that are well known for terrorizing their own citizens along with engaging in acts of genocide when it suits their needs. We saw this with Iraq and Afghanistan and now we are getting reports that they did the same in Libya.

A report from Al Jazeera has one of their news producers discovering documents in an abandoned intelligence compound used by Gaddafi’s security forces that show that influential American citizens were maintaining relations with the Gaddafi regime up to a few weeks ago.

Documents in the office of Abdullah Al Sinnousi, head of Libya’s intelligence service, provide minutes of what appears to have been a meeting between senior Libyan officials and former U.S. assistant secretary of state David Welch. According to Al Jazeera, the document states in Arabic that Welch met with Libyan officials on August 2, 2011, and advised the Gaddafi loyalists on how to wage a propaganda war and how to exploit the volatile situation in Syria.

In another office, Elshayyai found a document that allegedly records an exchange between Gaddafi regime officials and Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich.

The Guardian also reported on this link with Congressmen Kucinich, who had been invited by the Gaddafi regime to come to Libya on a “peace mission”

“Because of the efforts I had made early on to bring an end to the war, I started to get calls from Libya, including from the prime minister,” the congressman told the Guardian. “He had taken note of the fact I was making an effort to put forward a peace proposal. I had several requests to go to Libya. I made it clear I could not negotiate on behalf of the administration. I said I was speaking as a member of Congress involved in the issue and willing to listen to what they had to say.
