Some intelligence experts suggested on Tuesday that the release of the documents was intended to distract from the current controversies.Wow, you think? Sure, the CIA is involved in a few “controversies,” but certainly noting serious such as:
- Using a fake corporate fleet of private jets to shuttle people to torture prisons in places without laws, such as Poland or Malta.
- That massive domestic electronic spying machinery installed on every major U.S. Internet hub in the United States, a hugely illegal operation put into place by the CIA’s current chief and ex-NSA director.
- Because there’s no apparent way to sue the CIA, the ACLU is currently suing a Boeing subsidiary for providing flight services for more than 70 CIA torture flights.
- In Italy this month, the criminal trial of twenty-six CIA agents began.
- Meanwhile in Germany this week, Interpol arrest warrants were issued for another nine CIA agents — including sinister characters like “Uncle Bud,” the former Green Beret accused of kidnapping someone in Macedonia and shooting them up with dope on a flight to Afghanistan.
- Oh, and this month a half-dozen human rights groups revealed that the agency “disappeared” 39 people from various countries for torture interrogations, including children.
