Newly uncovered documents show a former Bush administration official and current top executive at the multinational contracting firm Bechtel has tried to assist the Gaddafi regime. According to Al Jazeera, former U.S. State Department official David Welch met with the Gaddafi representatives as recently as last month to offer advice on winning the “propaganda war” with the United States and NATO. Records of the meeting show Welch advised Gaddafi’s aides to pass on any evidence of the Libyan rebels’ alleged links to terror groups. The disclosure was made in documents found in a sacked Libyan intelligence building. Another document suggests a representative of Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio passed on a request to Muammar Gaddafi’s son for information on the rebels that could help end the war. In response, Kucinich said, “Any implication I was doing anything other than trying to bring an end to an unauthorized war is fiction.”
