The Obama Administration’s cables railing about Germany’s Free Democratic Party in general and leader Guido Westerwelle (now Germany’s Foreign Minister) in particular came with references to an unnamed informant the US had on the inside of the FDP who was eager to report on the party’s internal meetings to the US embassy.
According to Helmut Metzner, Foreign Minister Westerwelle’s (now former) chief of staff, he is that informant, and he has been sacked for being a US mole, the direct confirmed firing to come out of the WikiLeaks cables leak.
The Obama Administration was said to have serious reservations about the Free Democratic Party’s commitment to limited government and individual liberty ahead of September 2009’s election, and expressed hope that Chancellor Angela Merkel could be convinced to foil their agenda to protect her “legacy.”
The cables never named Metzner, but referred to him as “a young, up-and-coming party loyalist” who was providing the US embassy with information. Publicly, Westerwelle appeared contented to let the matter drop until Metzner confessed to his role as the mole.
Glad the Schweinhund was sent packing.
He should be prosecuted for espionage.
A zionist chosen heh? I guess the German people still have the blinders on, but wait, this guy was appointed, not elected. Back to the corrupt governments of Merkel.
A Zionist traitor who's loyalty is to his own people (Jews) not to his motherland Germany. Hang'm high.
beeboltwu. I agree. But his loyalty probably isn’t just to the Ziotards. He (just like the rest) is only loyal to the bribe money. The money-grubbing self-serving pos should be charged with espionage. And then he should swing, for being loyal to capital, at the expense of humanity.
"The Obama Administration was said to have serious reservations about the Free Democratic Party’s commitment to limited government and individual liberty ahead of September 2009′s election, and expressed hope that Chancellor Angela Merkel could be convinced to foil their agenda to protect her “legacy.”"
Obama is concerned about the commitment of other countries to limited government and individual liberty? It is to laugh.
So the German FM was going to let a US informant stay in position and only fired the guy when he openly confessed? Isn't there something wrong with that picture?
