Picturing The Enemy

Security: The ACLU sneakily photographing CIA officers near their homes, then showing the shots to the imprisoned planners of the 9/11 attacks. A fruitcake fantasy? The government is looking into exactly this.


When the Washington Post three and a half years ago uncovered the CIA's "black prisons" program, in which enhanced interrogation was used against terrorist detainees to foil future atrocities, we forcefully argued that such secret wartime operations ought never be outed.

The Post may have won a Pulitzer for its revelation, but we feel more strongly than ever today. And a new story in that same newspaper gives new facts about the harm it did, and continues to do.

A Justice Department investigation is now apparently investigating whether photos of covert CIA officials surreptitiously taken by the American Civil Liberties Union's "John Adams Project" were unlawfully shown to terrorist detainees charged with organizing the attacks of 9/11.

It's all supposedly part of military lawyers' aggressive defense of their terrorist defendants, on whom enhanced interrogation may have been used. But the Justice probe seems to have given quite a scare to ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero. Refusing to comment on the specifics of his organization's photo activities on behalf of "our clients," Romero complained that the government was not investigating "the CIA officials who undertook the torture."

Quick question: Are the ACLU attorneys enemies of the republic?

There was a case many years ago where a former agent the CIA had sacked gathered the names of many overseas CIA agents and released them to the world. It is now against a law to do what he did.
I wonder whether the ACLU is caught in the same kind of unlawful exposure of CIA agents. If convicted ACLU people may see jail time. Good!

How about we take pictures of ACLU operatives...being beheaded outside of their own homes?

Who in the CIA will be willing to stick their necks out in the future, with prosecutions hanging over their heads, the blowing of their covers by the ACLU, and the physical endangerment of themselves and their families as their thanks? On top of it all, who really believes the Obama Justice Department will at the end of the day do anything to punish those guilty of aiding the enemy?

It’s a smutty business from top to bottom, but the most despicable of this sorry cast of characters have to be those who physically snapped the shots. How depraved must you be to violate and endanger the families of those who saved so many American lives?

I would love to see some ACLU creeps in prison for this legal advocacy for evil they specialize in. They do so much to harm the US and to distort the constitution, it is unbeleivable.

I'm seeing roped masses of ACLU members positioned at entries to Iraqi enclaves.

Surely they'd have no qualms serving as human shields against their allies.

And who supplied the ACLU with the names and adresses of the CIA agents?

I’m sure there will be a Congressional Committee that diligently and fully investigates this and brings the spied to justice.

It is probably worse then that. It is pure treason

INSIDE THE COMPANY: CIA DIARY. By Philip Agee.

The only treason recognized by the Obama regime is disobedience, criticism, resistance.

“That was Aldrich Ames”

Actually, it was Phil Agee. Aldrich Ames was a mole for the Soviets and he gave them names of Russian agents the CIA had recruited.
