AMERICA: WE SEEM TO BE IN A CRISIS MODE

Sorry folks...due to job related responsibilities, I have been out of pocket of late. LS

Moving on, no one seems to like W. anymore, including certain officials in the CIA. I found this incredible piece on a Harper's blog.

"The CIA 'Wehrmacht'" by Ken Silverstein

Excerpt:

This former senior officer said there “seems to be a quiet conspiracy by rational people” at the agency to avoid involvement in some of the particularly nasty tactics being employed by the administration, especially “renditions”—the practice whereby the CIA sends terrorist suspects abroad to be questioned in Egypt, Syria, Uzbekistan, and other nations where the regimes are not squeamish about torturing detainees. My source, hardly a softie on the topic of terrorism, said of the split at the CIA: “There's an SS group within the agency that's willing to do anything and there's a Wehrmacht group that is saying, 'I'm not gonna touch this stuff'.”

WHITE HOUSE SHIFTS INTO SURVIVAL MODE

Another great find from Ken who found the piece on the Washington Post.com today. Many Republicans are suggesting that Rove has been reassigned to elections and politics, only, in order to salvage the party's chances in the forthcoming 2006 midterm elections. Insiders told ABC News today, however, that Rove was demoted because Fitzgerald is" fixing to" indict him. We shall see how this plays out. LS

CHENEY IS UP TO HIS EVIL TRICKS AGAIN. HE HIRED A FORMER CONTRA/IRAN ARMS DEALER TO SURVEIL DISCUSSIONS WITH IRAN

Now we know for certain that we are in a whole world of hurt to come. LS

Excerpt:

As reported by RAW STORY last Thursday, the Defense Department has created a special operations arm of various Iranian dissidents, using terror group Mujahedeen-e Khalq to conduct operations on the ground in Iran. According to current and former intelligence officials, the latest revelations of Ghorbanifar’s involvement again illustrate that Cheney and the Pentagon continue to work on the periphery of protocol in order to bypass US intelligence agencies and resources.
