3,000-Strong and Growing: The CIA’s Army of Assassins in Afghanistan

CIA's Secret Army Larger Than Anyone Thought The fact that the CIA has been assembling a “secret Army” in Afghanistan has never been a particularly closely guarded secret. The fact that they are assassinating people in Afghanistan is no secret either. What is a secret, however, is just how big this group is. Or at least it was a secret, until Bob Woodward’s book Obama’s Wars detailed it. According to Woodward the CIA’s army has some 3,000 well-trained assassins carrying out attacks not only across Afghanistan but into neighboring Pakistan as well. The program was detailed by former officials as part of the “ramped up American counter-terror ...

12 women and children killed in Iran bombing 22/09 19:04 CET A deadly bomb attack has struck a military parade in Iran. At least 12 women and children are dead and 60 others wounded. The event was being held to mark the 30th anniversary of the Iran-Iraq war. “We were just standing there and suddenly a bomb exploded,” said one victim. “We all ran away. When I wanted to move, I noticed I couldn’t move my legs.” “A lot of people were injured and killed, a lot of children,” said another victim. “The bomb exploded right next to me.” The attack happened in the West Azerbaijan region, in the city of Mahabad, which has a mostly Kurdish population. ...

Lindsey Graham says U.S. Must Prepare to Attack Iran By James Rosen September 21, 2010 "McClatchy " WASHINGTON — Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said Monday that the United States must be prepared to use military force to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon — and added that the last-resort step should be taken with the goal of overthrowing Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Graham, a military lawyer and a senior Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, became the first senator to support direct U.S. military intervention in Iran, saying it should not involve ground troops but be launched by U.S. warplanes and ships.

Monday, September 20, 2010 Blackwater/Xe Terrorist Cells Conducting False Flag Terrorist Attacks in Pakistan Rock Creek Free Press/WMR has learned from a deep background source that Xe Services, the company formerly known as Blackwater, has been conducting false flag terrorist attacks in Pakistan that are later blamed on the entity called "Pakistani Taliban."

The group is said by the State Department to be an off-shoot of the Afghan Taliban, which had links to "Al Qaeda" before the 9/11 attacks on the United States. ...

Reflecting on the human costs of Iraq Published: Sunday, September 19, 2010, 4:05 AM The United States is my motherland, and I love my mother -- drunk or sober. But the recent three-part series "Iraq: What we learned" (Sept. 5-7) left me feeling shocked and ashamed. We seem to care only about how those seven years have affected us. We need to sober up and face the results for the Iraqi people -- innocent of 9/11 but selected by us as scapegoats. The United Nations estimated the Iraqi population at about 26 million in 2003. Of that number, an estimated 5 million became internal or external refugees. Depleted uranium has poisoned the environment. A recent study of cancer rates in ...

Post-U.S. invasion economic strategy ‘complete shambles’, says Iraq Central Bank official By Laith Jawad Azzaman, September 19, 2010 The years since the 2003-U.S. invasion of Iraq have done more harm than good to Iraq’s economy, a senior Central Bank official says. “One of the reasons for the failure of the economic administration in the past seven years is the misuse of the resources which the country owns,” said Mudher Saleh, the bank’s official consultant. He said there was imbalance and mismatch in Iraq’s economy with the state in control of 80 percent of the country’s riches and other sectors the remaining 20 percent. “This ...

This is a timeline of United States military operations. The list through 1975 is based on Committee on International Relations (now known as the Committee on Foreign Affairs).

Bush And Blair Iraq War: The Hidden Dimensions On the 20 March 2003, the United States and British armed forces invaded Iraq and committed naked aggression against the innocent people of Iraq. The official justifications that were given were that they only wanted to disarm Saddam Hussein of (non-existent) weapons of mass destruction, remove him from power and also punish the Iraq regime for its (fabricated) connection to the event of 11th September 2001. So, it looked like September 11 was the primary cause behind the war. It has become public knowledge that Saddam Hussein was a trusted ally of the various American and British administrations, especially during the time of the Iraq-Iran ...

As President Obama's strategy review for Afghanistan commences, let's hope he's balancing the information coming to him from his happy-talking generals with some independent news reading of his own. * While General David Petraeus serenades the major news media in the United States with the siren song of "progress," security in Afghanistan is rapidly deteriorating, and efforts in the south to win legitimacy for the Kabul government are failing. * Hamid Karzai seems dead set on proving just how corrupt he and his business connections are. * Efforts to transform the Afghan National Army from a carpetbagger army to a legitimate, representative force capable of keeping ...

The “nobody-could-have-known” excuse and Iraq August 31, 2010 posted by Michael Leon · 10 Comments By Glenn Greewald in Salon The predominant attribute of American elites is a refusal to take responsibility for any failures. The favored tactic for accomplishing this evasion is the “nobody-could-have-known” excuse. Each time something awful occurs — the 9/11 attack, the Iraq War, the financial crisis, the breaking of levees in New Orleans, the general ineptitude and lawlessness of the Bush administration — one is subjected to an endless stream of excuse-making from those responsible, insisting that there was no way they “could have known” ...

Leon T. Hadar, a former bureau chief for the Jerusalem Post, is an adjunct scholar of the Cato Institute. Published on August 27, 1992 Executive Summary Now that the Cold War is becoming a memory, America's foreign policy establishment has begun searching for new enemies. Possible new villains include "instability" in Europe--ranging from German resurgence to new Russian imperialism--the "vanishing" ozone layer, nuclear proliferation, and narcoterrorism. Topping the list of potential new global bogeymen, however, are the Yellow Peril, the alleged threat to American economic security emanating from East Asia, and the so-called Green Peril (green is the color of ...
The US Soldier Who Committed Suicide After She Refused To Take Part in Torture

With each revelation, or court decision, on US torture in Iraq, Afghanistan and Gitmo -- or the airing this month of The Tillman Story and Lawrence Wright's My Trip to Al-Qaeda -- I am reminded of the chilling story of Alyssa Peterson, who died seven years ago this week. Appalled when ordered to take part in interrogations that, no doubt, involved what most would call torture, she refused, then killed herself a few days later, on September 15, 2003. Of course, we now know from the torture memos and the US Senate committee probe and various press reports, that the "Gitmo-izing" of Iraq was happening just at the time Alyssa got swept up in it. Spc. Alyssa Peterson was one of ...
