I love stories like this, as they are usually complete FICTION!

So looking up this Nelda Rogers person comes up with about 700 odd messages all like....

"Nelda Rogers, the Pentagon whistleblower...."

So looking into Ms. Rogers, I found this story.

http://www.americanfreepress.net/Bank_Heist.html

The CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) are accused by International Currency Review, the London-based journal, of mounting a joint ultra-secret operation to electronically remove an estimated $10 billion out of the Iraqi Central Bank hours before the start of Persian Gulf War II. The whereabouts of the money is not known.

?We believe it is in a secret CIA fund which will be used to mount further special services operations, such as tracking down Saddam Hussein,? said the Review?s publisher, Christopher Story.

[...]

The Review states in its 25-page report that it had questioned a key member of the operation. She is identified as ?Nelda Rogers, a debriefing officer with the Defense Intelligence Agency.?

?She was in Germany last year when American intelligence officials were devising covert operations ahead of the long-planned conflict. She has revealed that a covert operation targeting the Central Bank of Iraq took place prior to and during the war. The operatives involved were military ?black operations? personnel brought into service for this purpose,? said Story.

[...]

The Review costs $475 a copy and is one of a small group of titles that Story publishes on financial intelligence for the world banking community.


Only thing is, they don't mention which issue this was, and at $475 an issue, don't expect you to spend the money to fact check, but this publication is carried at the Northwestern University Library, and I'd be willing to bet it was never published in the first place.

I bet I could write better BELIVEABLE fiction than this, if fact I know I can.
