COMMENT: John Wheeler III, an expert on the U.S. military who served in the administrations of Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush was found murdered in a Delaware landfill.
Who killed him and why remains to be seen.
In this context, it is worth noting that Wheeler was very afraid of the possibility of cyber warfare. Is his death in any way related to the WikiLeaks imbroglio? Might the U.S. be in for an act of cyber-terrorism? Richard Clarke, among others, has warned about this.
Might Wheeler have been murdered by a Fifth Column element in this country, not unlike the theft of sensitive data which got John O’Neill dismissed as the head of the FBI’s investigation into Bin Laden?
EXCERPT: The body of a military expert who served in three Republican administrations was found dumped in a landfill and investigators said Monday they were trying to retrace his steps in the days leading up to his death.
John Wheeler III, 66, who had not been reported missing, was scheduled to be on an Amtrak train from Washington to Wilmington on Dec. 28, but authorities say it’s not clear if he ever made that trip. His body was found three days later, on New Year’s Eve, as a garbage truck emptied its contents at the Cherry Island landfill. His death has been ruled a homicide.
Wheeler served as an Army staff officer in Vietnam and later worked in the Reagan and both Bush administrations. . . .
Sheesh! “He recommended that the U.S. not use biological weapons.” And then there’s this astute observation by an officer of the Court: ” ‘He was just not the sort of person who would wind up in a landfill.’ ”
If true, this is interesting — I don’t have any idea whether it is credible.

Now these two interesting speculative items — again I have no idea whether they are credible.
The Boeing KC-767 tanker alleged in the Russian report to have sprayed the Phosgene which allegedly killed the birds and fish in Arkansas seems itself to be a factor in an intense and pricey ($35bn+) international aerospace contract fight between Boeing and the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Co. (EADS) to build new US tanker planes. These stories suggest that some powerful Republicans favor EADS over Boeing. Might this have been an attempt by some constituency to make the Boeing KC-767 seem dangerous and unreliable? The first article on the Russian assessment of the Phosgene situation twice mentions “critical malfunctions” in the Boeing KC-767. Russia is apparently a partner of some sort in EADS.
Karl Rove is mentioned peripherally though not implicated.
Now there is also a reported bird kill in Sweden where Rove is an adviser to the government — could this be a decoy event to make the US kills seem unrelated to Phosgene? Far-fetched but who knows?
First some possible background — April 7, 2010:

Sex and Death the pass time of Empires. Thank you everyone.
With a wave of mysteryous banker deaths still underway, it’s worth recalling that the murder of cyberwarfare expert, John Wheeler III, in late 2010 is still completely unsolved:
