Algeria: Al-Qaeda message calls president a traitor
2009-02-11
(AKI) - A new message purportedly from Al-Qaeda accuses Algeria's president Abdelaziz Bouteflika (photo) of betraying his country by allowing a CIA agent accused of raping two women while he was stationed there to return home.

"O beloved nation, what more do you want these rulers to do to make you to speak with one voice and say 'enough'!" said the message posted to Islamist websites.

"Doesn't this scandal prove to you that Bouteflika and his government are no different from that of Hamid Karzai in Afghanistan or Nouri al-Maliki's in Iraq?" the message said.

The CIA has said one of its agents has returned to the United States after being accused last September of committing the two rapes in Algeria.

The scandal could take its toll on Bouteflika's prospects in polls taking place on 9 April. He is running for election to a third presidential term.

#4  StrategyPage. Take it FWIW.
January 29, 2009: The CIA has removed its station chief in Algeria, Andrew Warren, after he was accused of drugging and raping two women. Warren, a convert to Islam, is one of the more successful CIA counter-terror operatives, because he speaks Arabic and mixes it up with local Moslems in mosques and has a remarkable ability to keep track of local Islamic politics. The charges are a bit murky, and there is suspicion this is a ploy to keep Warren from finding out too much about scandalous behavior by Algerian officials.

#3  Interesting that these people bitch slap 24/7, stone and consider their women breeders and chattel and rarely is there a peep of protest, but once you get a Westerner involved all of the sudden they become honored and Cinderella-esque and have to be protected. Is there a more hypocritical people on earth (not including the Democrat Party and Hollywood)?

#2  Oh, well, bouteflika is a pimp (his original line of work), and a war criminal (his only actual fait de guerre in the algeria war was to come back to algerai after the Evian armistice, and then manage the slaughtering of pro-France Harki troops, with whatever islamic refinement you might imagine). He's also very small, and obnoxious in his scapegoating of France for everything that is wrong with his "country", his claims that France invented the nazi gas chambers when french troops smoked out caves during the conquest of algeria, or that algeria was a country "as developed, with a longer democratic tradition" than France when it was colonized,... all the while getting subsidies from the old Motherlnd and asking for yet more visas to export his population surplus (like the algerian junta did with their berber youth, after the 1997 revolt), and keeping control of said export population on the french territory, through various networks (up to and including the main strain of "french islam", from the grand mosque of Paris, directly controlled by algiers)... but a traitor? To what principles?

#1  You are barbarian. The depths of evil you concieve are beyond all models. You rape women to kill them. Al-Qaeda is an abomination.
