David Rose is a British journalist, formerly of the Observer, presently a contributing editor to Vanity Fair. He has admitted to a past relationship with both MI5 and MI6, the UK’s domestic and foreign spy agencies, respectively. By his own admission, he did not end his relationship with the agencies until they did.[1] In the lead up to the Iraq war, he played what Bill Moyers called 'eager beaver' to propaganda from the neoconservatives and the INC.[2]
From 9-11 to Iraq
In the immediate aftermath of 9-11, Rose wrote many articles echoing the claims of neoconservative think-tanker Laurie Mylroie. He also wrote a glowing review of what have been described as her 'crackpot' theories.[3]
