  1. Tulsi Gabbard consulted with MIT professor Theodore A. Postol, who questioned the U.S. intelligence community’s conclusions about chemical weapons attacks in Syria. Gabbard’s engagement with Postol, who suggested that some attacks were staged by opposition forces, influenced her views and statements on the issue.

    > Cheryl Rofer, a former longtime chemist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory who has worked on methods of destroying dangerous chemicals, said Postol’s analysis betrays “some very basic chemistry mistakes” while reflecting the pro-Assad slant of his associate, who goes by “Syrian Girl” on social media.
