First we found out that torture was approved at the very highest levels of the Bush Administration, then we found out that the FBI complained about these illegal and immoral practices. Now we learn that the CIA itself knew that it was carrying out illegal activities.

CIA Foresaw Interrogation Issues
Agency Considered Investigations 'Virtually Inevitable'

The CIA concluded that criminal, administrative or civil investigations stemming from harsh interrogation tactics were "virtually inevitable," leading the agency to seek legal support from the Justice Department, according to a CIA official's statement in court documents filed yesterday.

The documents indicate that lawyers at the CIA and elsewhere were aware that CIA personnel might be subject to criminal prosecution or other legal sanctions.

The pseudonymical coward and perhaps war profiteer AJ Strata, of course, never complains about Bush Admin. sponsored torture-not once.

And his rules of banning commentors are simple. If you are anti-war, a multitude can call you any epithet in the book and you must take it without returning the favor in milder form even once.

(Delete if you wish, just saying.)

Ken,

I've been banned from LGF, Roger L Simon, Hannity's and many other wingnut sites. I've had posts disappear on others.
