Bush Obama US/Pakistan Showdown/Throwdown, July 12

By: Peter Chamberlin

Obama has begun the tedious work of separating himself from the failed policies of his predecessor.  He has halted pending Bush regulations and executive orders and reversed CIA policies on torture and secret prisons.  If the President was sincere in his interview with Al-Arabiya, about wanting to assure Muslims that “Americans are not your enemy,” then he must be willing to reexamine all elements of the rogue agency’s terror war, especially the more controversial elements of it.

If President Obama really seeks a fresh start with the Muslim world –establishing a humane new foreign policy for the United States to guide us to an acceptable conclusion of the war– then he must make a visible clean break with all the failed Bush policies.  A fresh start with Pakistan, our most important ally in the terror war, would begin by ending CIA Predator strikes and cutting-off all support for their gangs of criminals and terrorists who now plague the country.  The illegal CIA actions extend far beyond the widely known abductions and torture, to far more sinister dark programs of abductions and murderous attacks which are indistinguishable from “terrorism.”  Obama should understand what most every citizen of Pakistan understands, that the CIA is the source of most of the “terror” that comes out of that region.  The CIA is also the source of the terror that our soldiers fight against.

 

The Bush presidency was an aberration, a deviation from our historical path.  Undoing the many mistakes that have been made will represent a long overdue repudiation of a wrong response to a violent attack by, as yet, undetermined organizations.  This cannot be avoided or sugar-coated.  The United States treated the 911 attack as an opportunity to plunder, in effect, declaring war upon the world because of a militant organization with deep roots in the CIA.  The spy agency proceeded to shape the forthcoming military actions by US and coalition forces, setting into motion the plan for total world conquest that Cheney had been carrying-around since 1992.  Obama must demolish this war plan and begin the process of rebuilding the destruction left in its wake.  (more here)

Speaking of CIA// now hiring rapists ...
CIA station chief investigated over drugging and raping two Muslim women in Algeria

 

The CIA's station chief in Algeria is under investigation for allegedly raping two  Muslim women who claim their drinks were laced with a knock-out drug.

Now U.S. officials are bracing themselves for fall-out in the Muslim world after the embarrassing incident.
 

Court papers filed in federal court in Washington by a State Department investigator show two women came forward separately to say they had been sexually assaulted by the man while at his home in Algiers.

The man was identified as Andrew Warren. He has not been charged with a crime.
 

Officials obtained a warrant to search the chief's home in Algiers - turning up videos that they said appeared to be secretly recorded, showing him in engaging in sex acts.

At least one of the videos apparently showed one of the victims in a semi-conscious state, investigators said.

Just days ago, new U.S. President Barack Obama went on Arabic television to announce his priority was to prove to the Muslim world that 'America is not your enemy'.

But reports of Warren's treatment of the Muslim women could upset that effort.

'It has the potential to be quite explosive if it's not handled well by the United States government,' Isobel Coleman, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations who specialises in women's issues in the Middle East, told ABC News.
 

'This isn't the type of thing that's going to be easily pushed under the carpet.'

little more on Andrew Warren:

Warren was described as a highly gifted officer, a convert to Islam who demonstrated a rare ability to blend in among Muslim communities across several countries.

"He is exactly the guy we need out in the field," said a senior U.S. government official who had met with the accused officer in Algiers last summer before the scandal emerged. "He's African American. He's Muslim. He speaks the language. He seemed well put together, sharp and experienced."

A former CIA official who worked with Warren said he had "done great works in the mosques" in Afghanistan after the U.S.-led invasion of 2001. "He was able to go into the mosque for Friday prayers, could recite the Koran, and wasn't afraid to mix it up," the former official said.

"It's so disappointing because he's someone who had so much potential," the former official said. "This is a guy who everybody likes, and everyone wants to see him get ahead."

Warren had joined the CIA before the Sept. 11 attacks, officials said, but quit the agency midway through his first overseas assignment. He went to work in the financial sector in Manhattan, and rejoined the CIA after witnessing the World Trade Center towers collapse.
