#3 Way to go Humpty, like I get it man. Deep. Once the right wing garbage gets it way, no bread.

#4 Anyone speaking to the WaPo or NYT has an agenda, and is most likely out of the real loop (i.e.: unemployed by the DOJ and Intel agencies after the last election, and yes, I mean you, Eric Holder)

#5
Yesterday, based on this very same article, you said that the "CIA is throwing the war and the DoJ is signing off on it." Today you yourself indicate that your accusations about the CIA and FBI are based entirely on anonymous sources!

#6 Way to ignore the call to stop the flame wars, Mikey.

#7 I admit I didnt read the article closely enough yesterday. But when I saw your reactions to posts made to the sale article you posted, I had to read it closer, and sure enough, this was a mass of, what? No named sources, a LOT of assumptions on the writer's part and no attribution for some elements of the story.

I didn't publish this garbage, and I posted errorneously. However, if the DoJ in fact told the CIA to suspend those interrogation tehcnique, then my statement stands.

As it is we don't know. You don't know either, Mike, and you're the who posted the original article.

#8 Good work, badanov.
Let's hope for the best that this "former senior CIA official" is talking out of his ass.
And now that Bremer is out, maybe the State Dept. will butt out of running the military side of things in Iraq!

#9 On the other hand, if you're into conspiracies, maybe this leak is deliberate: maybe there's more going on behind the scenes than they want to be made known, so they release reports that make them look a lot more incompetent than they are. There are benefits to misleading a free press, especially when up against an enemy that wants to use our own institutions to destroy us . . .
