CIA are those nice people who shot JFK in Operation Mongoose, planned to bomb US airliners in Operation Northwoods, and run dope in Iran-Contra.

So you're saying Obama DOES have the experience necessary to be President, right?

"In the land of slavery..."

Hello,

I found this statement extraordinary.

It would be easier to count the nations that have never had slavery, than those that had.

Meanwhile , liberal talk radio admits Obama is a 'charming liar' , which certainly fits with Mr. Pilger's assertions that ScamBO is a corporate marketing creation :

Tony,

Good point. The slave wars and slave trade in west africa had been raging for almost a millenia before any white person set foot there. But slavery is still alive today, and a lot of it racial.

By the way, the White House has just appointed a special prosecutor to look into criminal charges regarding the CIA's interrogation techniques.

Merchants of Death
Memo Reveals Details of Blackwater Targeted Killings Program

By Gabor Steingart in Washington

A US district court will decide this week whether one of the darkest chapters of the Bush era, the relationship between the administration and the private security company Blackwater, should be reexamined. Former Blackwater employees want to shine light on the company's shadowy activities.

I wouldn't necessarily say that means much, Kwicko, I'm seeing all signs pointing to the Congress okaying funding for "it's not really torture" CIA training programs with S.1494 and H.R.2701.

'...Report shows CIA agents intimidated suspects 23 Aug 2009 An internal report has provided details of abuses inside the CIA's secret prisons. The Central Intelligence Agency inspector-general in the US will report that an [alleged] Al-Qaeda commander was threatened with a gun and an electric drill by CIA agents in tactics that were meant to intimidate and frighten him into giving up information.

In another U-turn, Obama upholds Bush's rendition policy 24 Aug 2009 US President Barack Obama makes another U-turn, recycling the Bush regime's controversial 'extraordinary rendition' exercise. Upon taking office in January, Obama had ruled that the use of 'extraordinary rendition' was illegal under his administration. However, administration officials said on Monday that the practice will continue under the Obama White House.

Rendition of Terror Suspects Will Continue Under Obama 25 Aug 2009 The Obama administration will continue the Bush regime’s practice of sending terror suspects to third countries for detention and interrogation, but will monitor their treatment to insure they are not tortured, administration officials said on Monday. The administration officials, who announced the changes on condition that they not be identified, said that unlike the Bush administration, they would give the State Department a larger role in assuring that transferred detainees prisoners would not be abused.

BM,

Obama can oppose torture even if Pelosi doesn't. Of course, you were probably tracking the events where Obama failed to reverse interrogation techniques, O2tB just detailed, but there's an added variable: Obama has a brain, and unlike Reid, Pelosi, Bush and Cheney, he realizes that torture is unpopular. Ergo, he must at least appear anti-torture.

My overall guess is that Obama doesn't like torture, and neither does John McCain, but they're just figureheads of large organizations that like torture. Interesting conflicted internal debates, no real split on party lines, but a lot of attempt to create the illusion. This is a flip for '94, now the democrats are playing "good cop" and the republicans are playing "bad cop."

O2tB,

Interesting stuff. Of course, there's no real change in policy direction, so no real U-turns, only sleight of hand. Figuring you know that.

Interesting pattern emerging: The really good insightful critiques of Bush came from the right, the best critiques of Obama come from the left. If I were to guess I'd say that this is because the opposition leadership is handing out stupid issues and talking points for citizens to get angry about all the time, and so everyone files behind irrelevant partisan divisions and character assassinations rather than actual flaws in the policy.

Apparently there was a closed doors meeting that involved a serious profanity laced, object throwing tantrum on behalf of little boy Leon, who's only just now realizing just how heavy the bag he got left holding might be.

And as for Blackwater, certain religious affiliations have been confirmed, which while creepy as hell aren't exactly illegal, HOWEVER...

The company connection and affiliation with certain offices and operations in North Carolina known and hated by my people for years has to be investigated, and if there's even a single shred of evidence linking them to THAT trade, they are hosed.

There's also that the CIA malfeasance isn't limited to Blackwater, or just those programs, and should be further investigated.
