CIA’s closet cleaned of skeletons
Published: 21 August, 2009, 22:37
"You are going to have a hurricane coming through Washington that is aimed right at the intelligence community," said former CIA director Porter Goss, as more details emerged of the CIA's activities during the Bush era.
Officials say that the CIA ran a program in which they hired employees of a firm formerly known as Blackwater and trained them for the purposes of capturing and killing Al Qaeda operatives.
The CIA is not legally allowed to carry out assassinations. Allegedly this is something that the Bush administration tried to ignore and pawn off on the military contractors.
Wayne Madsen, an investigative journalist and RT contributor, claims that Blackwater targeted Muslims and Arabs under the orders of the CIA.
“We know they have been active in Iraq, they’ve also been active in Afghanistan,” Madsen told RT. “We now have some Blackwater employees coming forward and saying, ‘Yes, people were targeted indiscriminately.’”

Is US war effort in Iraq making difference?After two truck bombs on Wednesday killed 95 people and also injured 500 in Baghdad, it looks like the conditions in Iraq has reverted to those endured at the beginning of the war. |
All right, I will admit maybe I did not live up to journalistic standards in my last comment about CIA. Most likely too many mild drinks while printing on computer. Sorry. Send me to Siberia as penality. I would like camping out there without out chains. You pay and I will go to Siberia for free vacation. Just joke. Next back to issue at hand: 1. America is Three (3) branch system -- Legislative (US Congress). 2. Executive (CIA) and 100+ other Excutive agencies. 3. Judicial (from lower courts up to higher courts until US Supreme Court and in latin words "res judicata" or the last word on legal issue at hand. What I said in previous comment, is that First Branch US Congress is highly responsible and hypocritical for CIA actions. Obama administration at this current time is printing new First Branch guidelines for CIA and all Federal "interrrogations" and the question to Americans is: Are these Excutive (1st Branch guidelines) strong enough to solve CIA problems? Previous First Branch orders like Ex. Order 12333 and 12334 to not make plans to assinate foreign leaders were joke (because no law enforcement options and statutory prision terms apply). This is because First Branch (excutive order and Obama Presidential order) cannot make legistlative laws or statutes that make penalities for life in prison or years in prison. This in Russia analogy: Would be like P+M making excutive suggestions for KGB/SVB -- while everyone in Russia knows their is no way to put any people on trial with no prescribed prison penalties and get free run path through and Russian legal technicalities. Pretend penalities made for CIA through Legislative and Excutive mix-up. Going on now for 40 plus years. Hope RT prints this comment. This comment is at center of how fake US Presidential orders operate to control CIA. Peace.
'people were targeted indiscriminately' ??? well, not exactly a surprise. These were the same people who filmed themselves shooting random cars on the streets in Iraq. I recall one of their home movies on YouTube that showed our brave guys shooting out from the back of their vehicle at a white sedan which was in traffic far behind them. It veered off and hit a pole, and our guys were congratulating themselves on another hit. It is Blackwater or Xe or whatever-they-are-calling-themselves-these-days that is likely to get the contracts for domestic security, too, when the USA revolution finally comes. Gosh, what a cool thing to look forward to . . .
