CIA Accused: Sen. Feinstein Sees Torture Probe Meddling

Posted by timothy on from the taking-the-heat-off-that-other-agency dept.

SternisheFan writes with this news from the Washington Post: "In an extraordinary public accusation, the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee declared on Tuesday that the CIA interfered with and then tried to intimidate a congressional investigation into the agency's possible use of torture in terror probes during the Bush administration. The CIA clandestinely removed documents and searched a computer network set up for lawmakers, said Sen. Dianne Feinstein in a long and biting speech on the Senate floor. In an escalating dispute with an agency she has long supported, she said the CIA may well have violated criminal laws and the U.S. Constitution."

    Smart lad. We have to defund and annihilate the CIA. Sad is, the CIA Inspector General referred the issue to the US Department of Justice for investigation, and they are essentially being run by the CIA. And those fuckers are going to meddle with and fuck up any investigation into these abuses.

    The reason the US Department of Justice was notified to investigation deals more with the fact that the CIA OIG does not handle domestic investigations, not necessarily because they believe criminal prosecution in necessary. I am personally worried about an ensuing cover up of these events.

    I have details about both the FBI, NSA, CIA, and Senate/Congress covering up the abuse of millions of Americans during illegal surveillance and weapons testing abuses. Details here: http://www.oregonstatehospital...

    A large number of Americans, so called Targeted Individuals, are watching this very closely. Personally, I think the CIA is controlling everyone, disallowing legitimate investigation into the abuses of the Agency, so they can get away with murders, rapes, surveillance abuses, and directed-energy assaults of Americans.

    The case is, genocide and torture of Americans, worse than anything Saddam even did to his own people. I am waiting for any country to come and bomb us now, so we can have freedom from the United States government.
