两年前，我曾恳求国会、特别是众议院常设情报特别委员会允许我向他们通报美国政府掌握的证据，内容涉及据称由俄罗斯实施的脉冲微波攻击，即所谓的哈瓦那综合征。这些攻击已导致数百名美国政府人员受伤，其中包括我自己、我的妻子和我的两个孩子。
Two years ago, I implored Congress and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence specifically to allow me to brief them on evidence the U.S. government possesses of pulsed microwave attacks allegedly perpetrated by Russia, causing so-called Havana Syndrome. These attacks have injured hundreds of U.S. government personnel, including myself, my wife and my two children.
就在我撰写那篇专栏文章几周后，国务院对我进行了报复。在我赞扬众议院情报委员会主席里克·克劳福德（共和党-阿肯色州）允许我作证，揭露国务院和情报界对哈瓦那综合征的掩盖之后，报复变得更加激烈。
Just weeks after I wrote that oped, the State Department retaliated against me. The retaliation became more intense after I praised House Intel Chairman Rick Crawford (R-Ark.) for allowing me the opportunity to testify about the Havana Syndrome coverup by the State Department and Intelligence Community.
我作证时曾期待委员会会履行其承诺——追究相关官员的责任，罪名包括故意疏忽和拒绝提供医疗服务，这些行为导致我们中许多人的创伤性脑损伤（尤其是我的两个孩子的创伤性脑损伤）比本应达到的程度严重得多。
I testified with the expectation that the committee would do as it had promised — hold officials accountable for, among other things, willful negligence and denied medical care that led to many of our traumatic brain injuries (especially those of my two children) being much worse than they should have been.
在数十名受伤和未受伤的官员作证之后——这些官员了解美国情报界和国务院对脉冲微波攻击的掩盖——委员会炮制出了一份重磅报告。在以往任何一届国会中，这份报告都会在数月前公布，并促成真正的责任追究。
After the testimony of dozens of injured and non-injured officials with knowledge of the U.S. Intelligence Community and State Department coverup of these pulsed microwave attacks, the committee has produced a bombshell report. In any previous Congress, this report would have been released months ago and resulted in some real accountability.
然而，克劳福德对所有受伤者——尤其是那些作证并因此面临非法报复的人——的背叛在于，他莫名其妙地拒绝公布其委员会的报告。众议院情报委员会为什么会这样做？在投入了如此多的时间和巨大的国会努力，并向这些脉冲微波攻击的受害者承诺追究责任之后？
But in a betrayal of all those injured — and especially of those who testified and faced illegal retaliation for doing so — Crawford inexplicably refuses to release his committee’s report. Why would House Intelligence do this after committing so much time and colossal congressional effort, promising accountability to the victims of these pulsed microwave attacks?
委员会领导层声称，中央情报局（CIA）正在拖延国会报告的解密进程。他们当然会这么做——这份报告肯定会对中央情报局的许多高层领导造成严重不利影响。令人痛心的是，国会竟然允许该机构得逞这种拖延战术，听命于正在被调查的那些作恶者和打击报复者。
The committee leadership claims that the CIA is slow-rolling the declassification process of the congressional report. Of course they are — the report is surely damning to many of CIA’s senior leadership. What is deplorable is that Congress would let the agency get away with such dilatory tactics, deferring to the same people behind the wrongdoing and retaliation it is investigating.
这种荒谬的局面因委员会的做法而变得更加恶劣，就像本届国会的所有委员会一样，该委员会似乎正在接受白宫的指示。政府可能不希望这份报告公之于众，因为报告很可能将俄罗斯与针对美国人员的这些袭击联系起来。我相信，国务院和美国情报界掌握着俄罗斯参与其中的证据，但却避而不公布，持这种看法的绝不止我一人。作为一名亲身受害者，我希望真相大白。
This absurd situation is made even worse because the committee, like all committees in this Congress, is seemingly taking direction from the White House. The administration may not want this report released because it likely ties Russia to these attacks against U.S. personnel. I am far from being alone in believing the State Department and U.S. intelligence community possess evidence of Russian involvement but are avoiding releasing it. As someone personally affected by this, I want the truth to be revealed.
这当然不是历史上政治家第一次背信弃义，但委员会唯一要做的就是公布自己的报告。委员会不应像行政部门似乎希望的那样，对俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京（Vladimir Putin）给予敬重，而应保持起码的独立性，切实履行一次监督职责。议员们竟然坐拥这些信息不予公开，树立了一个令人不安的先例，这应当引起每一位美国公民的关切。
This would certainly not be the first betrayal in history by a politician, but all the committee has to do is release its own report. Instead of treating Russian President Vladimir Putin with the deference that the executive branch seems to want, the committee should exercise a modicum of independence and conduct some real oversight for a change. The fact that members would sit on this information sets a troubling precedent that should concern every U.S. citizen.
在国会公开追究其责任之前，普京将继续受到白宫如友人的待遇，并获邀访问美国。每当这种情况发生时，请花一点时间思考一下，俄罗斯在利用定向能武器攻击造成美国政府人员遭受可怕脑损伤中扮演了什么角色。
Until he is publicly held accountably by Congress, Putin will continue to be treated like a friend of this White House and receive invites to visit the U.S. Each time that happens, take a moment to consider the role Russia played in inflicting horrific brain injuries on U.S. government personnel using directed energy attacks.
马克·伦齐是新罕布什尔州共和党前发言人，也是国际共和研究所前国家主任。他在美国国务院外交安全局工作。他目前正在沃尔特·里德国家军事医疗中心接受创伤性脑损伤治疗，伤情是他在国外任职期间造成的。他的观点不一定反映美国政府的立场。
Mark Lenzi is former spokesman for the New Hampshire Republican Party and a former country director for the International Republican Institute. He works for the U.S. State Department’s Diplomatic Security Service. He is currently receiving traumatic brain injury treatment at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for injuries received while serving abroad. His views do not necessarily reflect those of the U.S. government.
