I had the distinct privilege to attend a keynote by retired Air Force General Michael Hayden , most recently CIA director and previously NSA director. NetWitness brought Gen Hayden to its user conference this week, so I was really pleased to attend that event. I worked for Gen Hayden when he was commander of Air Intelligence Agency in the 1990s; I served in the information warfare planning division...

Previously censored documents released late Friday by the Department of Justice have shed more light on the FBI investigation into CIA interrogation tactics. Part of the record shows how FBI officials understood that the 'battleground tactics' used by the Pentagon were ineffective and wouldn't lead to prosecutions. As early as 2003, the Federal Bureau of [...]

By GottaLaff After reading The Dark Side by Jane Mayer, this isn't all that new. But that's a book, and these are declassified Department of Justice-released documents : Sadly, they reveal that the FBI knew perfectly well — and repeatedly warned Defense Department officials, as well as Justice Department lawyers — that the abusive interrogation techniques being used on detainees at Guantanamo...

One sad Chicago connection to the Islamic terror attack at Ft Hood in Texas (because that's what it was the other day) was a pregnant 21 yr old woman from a Chicago suburb back from Iraq on maternity leave named Francheska Velez, and a young man named Private First Class Michael Pearson, pictured here are both who's stories you can check down below my anti Islam terror rant if you wish. Yet again the...

Look, we know most of the alleged Al Qaeda detainees are innocent , with far too many of them victims of horrifying tactics like the ones reported in this Raw Story article . Will there ever be justice for them, or will President Obama continue to turn a blind eye to the Bush torture policies? Because with recent reports of a known rendition plane in Birmingham, England, I have to wonder if those...

In an unprecedented ruling in a courtroom in Milan, at the end of a trial that — in fits and starts — has lasted for over two years, 22 CIA agents and a US Air Force Colonel received sentences of between five and eight years (and two Italian agents received three-year sentences) for their involvement [...]

An Italian court recently sentenced 23 CIA employees in absentia for their role in the 2003 Abu Omar rendition. We should capture terrorists anywhere, any time, but we should get the job done right and with a minimum of bureaucracy. Real spying is inexpensive and requires few people. The basic act of espionage is a single CIA officer meeting a single source -- a person with access to secrets on terrorists...

And no, he wasn't talking about Obama and the cut and run dems, rather he was warning his camel riding women and children killing terrorists, who tend to be on the cowardly lion side we see all the time. Especially if their one time leader of sorts and super terrorist Khalid Sheik Muhammad is any indication, as he sang and continues to sing for the CIA and others like the Ray Conniff singers once...

The Central Intelligence Agency recently agreed to pay $3 million to a former Drug Enforcement Agency official, Richard Horn, whose home was wiretapped in Rangoon, Burma, under apparently illegal conditions. That's one thing--a squabble in a distant country over turf between the CIA and the DEA that led one official to bug another official. But [...]
