To: Matchett-PICan You Trust the Washington Post's Reporters?
Dana Priest has an article about possible CIA secret prisons today in the WaPo. Who is Dana Priest, and why should we believe her?
she is married to William Goodfellow, executive director of the "Center for International Policy" [CIP]. The Center's mission? It seems to be a very left-leaning organization founded by old peace activists.
From their website:So Priest today reports on the CIA, while her husband heads a left-wing organization that wants to "reform the CIA". Interesting. http://tinyurl.com/oj48b
