General Magistrat (r) Ioan Dan, Teroristii din ’89 (Lucman, 2012) despre Grigore Cartianu, Alex Mihai Stoenescu, si Dan Voinea

Marea Diversiune

…Cei mai multi s-au straduit, din rasputeri, sa ne convinga de faptul ca, in perioada Revolutiei si a evenimentelor care au urmat, Securitatea a fost “Alba ca zapada”, iar criminalii s-au gasit exclusiv in randurile Armatei romane, KGB-ului, ale altor agenturi straine si, cu titlu individual, cetateni romani, de preferinta alogeni….In aceasta “opera” de dezinformare se disting doua persoane, un ziarist (Grigore Cartianu) si un, sa-i zicem, istoric (Alex Mihai Stoenescu), acesta din urma dovedit ca informator al Securitatii.

Pentru moment, doresc sa afirm raspicat, transant cu nu sunt de acord cu cei care declara public (din pacate si procurori) ca nu au existat teroristi.  Unul dintre fostii mei colegi, Dan Voinea, a spus–in cea mai absurda maniera–ca, daca nu a prins vreun terorist, inseamna ca nu au existat teroristi.  Deficitul de logic este evident….Regret si, in acelasi timp, imi este rusine sa constat ca unii dintre stimabilii mei fosti colegi, care s-au exprimat in sensul mentionat, atat in public, cat si prin cercetarile care le-au fost repartizate, NU AU VRUT sa prinda teroristi si, mai mult, nici macar nu au vrut sa recunoasca teroristii nici in cazurile in care era incontestabila prezenta lor.

Needless to say, Dan Voinea has never referred to or made mention of either of the following two critical confessions/declarations revealed by Ioan Dan:

It is worth remembering who some of the biggest promoters of Grigore Cartianu and Dan Voinea inside and outside Romania have been:

“There are remarkable works on the subject of the life and death of Ceausescu (Mary Ellen Fischer, Pavel Campeanu, Edward Behr, Catherine Durandin, including also the recent journalistic reconstitution of Grigore Cartianu, to name a few of the contributions).” http://www.movingimagesource.us/articles/how-was-ceausescu-possible-20110929

Vladimir Tismaneanu:  “Este un lucru demonstrat cu prisosinta si de onesta ancheta jurnalistica a lui Grigore Cartianu (publicata sub titlul de carte: “Sfârşitul Ceauşeştilor”).”http://tismaneanu.wordpress.com/2010/07/21/deshumarea-lui-ceausescu-un-pas-spre-adevar/ “

[42] According to Sorin Iliesiu, the filmmaker who claims to have edited the chapter on December 1989 in the so-called Tismaneanu Raport Final, the “spirit of Voinea’s findings can be found in the Chapter.”  Indeed, the chapter includes snippets from an interview between Dan Voinea and Andrei Badin (Adevarul , December 2006).  The “indefatigable” Voinea, as Tom Gallagher has referred to him, continues to be defended by Vladimir Tismaneanu who has expressed support for Voinea’s investigations “from both a juridic and historic viewpoint” (see the entries for 21 September 2009 at http://tismaneanu.wordpress.com), avoiding any mention of the reasons for Voinea’s dismissal from the Military Procuracy, mistakes that Prosecutor General Laura Codruta Kovesi says “one wouldn’t expect even from a beginner” (for more on this and background, see Hall 2008):
