Abu Ghraib was a CIA operation

[The Lone Liberal]

The humiliation and torture of prisoners in Abu Ghraib was a CIA operations. The service personnel were willing dupes to the authority of intel-officers from the CIA and their proprietary Titan Corp. This sounds like and smells like a company operation. It is classic, the Company gets involved in torture as their way to aid the war effort. We may never know, because they build culpable deniability into every torture operation. From Nam to El Salvador the spooks from Langley are ready to inflict pain like a bunch of sadist that they are, they can't provide valid information on Saddam's WMDs, but they can sure hurt some poor guy with his hands tied behind his back.

1. Just because the CIA is a bunch of evil murdering savages

is no excuse to throw around BS accusations. Where's the proof?

3. Well, here's a rather scary link to what Titan Corporation...

has its not-so-pretty paws into re national defense (so to speak). Seems like they are one-stop shopping for all your defense/offense war needs.

5. If you can't get good Americans to fight your oil war,

you can always hire mercenaries and war profiteers.

scary stuff going on

I bet these guys do the things that are too shameful to ask decent soldiers to do.

4. Are you kidding, the proof is buried so deep

that you would need to dig to China to find it, a couple things about the operations of the prison that was reported.

First, the spooks and their friends took over part of the prison and would not allow service personnel to enter.

Secondly, when the shit hit the fan they were gone and a high brass was offered up to stop the investigation.

Classic Agency Modus Operandi, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, you can almost be sure its a spook.

Torture is their main forte.

Sorry if I hit a nerve.

6. no you didn't hit a nerve

I know how nasty the CIA can be. RIT has a long-standing partnership with them for "research" and people protest it all the time. Two years ago, George Tenet came to speak and there were massive protests. Free speech zones and such. They called the CIA a bunch of "evil murdering savages" who were out of control of the US government. I don't know. I want to believe that they are defending America, but we know they kill democratically elected leaders and that Manuel Noriega was a CIA operative.

If this was the CIA, what can we do about it? not a damn thing

DUer Raul Groom wrote an article not too long ago about the spooks turning against Bush and destroying him in retaliation for Valerie Plame.

peace,

2. It was a Bush-Cheney operation.

7. When the Afghan war was on, I recall Bush saying

how he didn't care if Bin Laden was caught or not because we have killed most of his top lieutenants and those that were not killed
have been taken care of, if you know what I mean.. ( knowing smirk).
Now I understand why your assumption this had to come from the very top rings true.
