CIA prisons and CIA flights are a growing front-page story, and Khaled el-Masri is a good example of why we all should oppose extrajudcial flights and prisons. El-Masri is the first to sue the CIA for "rendition," or kidnapping-to-torture. The ACLU in New York will assist. This article presents the kind of information they will use. He can't sue the CIA? There are private individuals he can sue, including top officials like the CIA official, the Deputy Director of Operations, who authorizes each rendition and each of 6 steps in the escalation of CIA torture. Once-proud Germany allows its citizens to be treated thus: Khaled, a German citizen charged and suspected of nothing, was arrested on vacation as he crossed the Macedonian border on New Year's Eve 2003. He was transported by a US company, Premier Executive Transport, on a 737 jet to a secret US gulag in Aghanistan. He was dumped in Albania 5 months later when the CIA learned they had the wrong man. It would seem Premier, who provided the plane, and whatever company supplied the pilots, could be sued as well. Many such suits could ensue.
The famous "26 Planes"
1. JOSE RODRIGUEZ, CIA'S DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS (SPY DIVSION), IS AN OPEN "SECRET" -- MEDIA CALL HIM JOSE __________.
2. THE FLIGHTS THE EUROPEANS ARE GRIPING ABOUT? *THEY* MADE THE DEALS WITH RODRIGUEZ; NOW THEY ARE BACKSTABBING THE CIA!
3. JOSE RODRIGUEZ HAS IRAN-CONTRA STYLE "SWEETHEART" DEALS WITH THE LEADERS AND INTELLIGENCE OF MOST EUROPEAN AND MUSLIM COUNTRIES.
4. RODRIGUEZ LEARNED THIS PLOY AS CHIEF OF THE CIA's LATIN AMERICA DIVISION -- THIS GOT HIM APPOINTED CIA'S COUNTERTERRORISM CHIEF, THEN CHIEF SPY (DDO).
5. AS DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS, JOSE HAS TO SIGN OFF ON RENDITIONS (OVERSEAS KIDNAPPINGS) AND "HARSH INTERROGATIONS."
6. RODRIGUEZ OVERSEES THE CIA's AIRLINES, USING AIRCRAFT-HOLDING COMPANIES FRONTED BY PRIVATE ATTORNEYS -- NAMED HERE AND IN MAJOR MEDIA.
--1-- The US media - NY Times, Washington Post, CBS -- are only showing how CONTROLLED they really are by calling the CIA's latest (appointed Nov. 2004) Deputy Director of Operations just "Jose." Google his predecessor as DDO, Stephen Kappes (Google this: "stephen kappes" cia) and you get about 515 results (varies). Google the DDO before that -- Google: "james pavitt" cia -- and you get 23,000 results. Google this -- "Jose Rodriguez" cia -- and you get three or four results (The Nation, Asian Times, and a couple others).
James Pavitt, by the way, was the DDO during el-Masri's ordeal.
The DDO is under cover? GIve me a break. Rodriguez has been doing the job for about a year. Before he was appointed DDO, while he was the director of the CIA's Counterterrorism Center, Jose Rodriguez made a high-profile trip to Athens to help make secure the 2004 Athens Olympics. His predecessors weren't under cover. What is so special about Jose Rodriguez?
The CONTROLLED MEDIA hides his full name even though the commentary magazine "The Nation" blabbed it all over the country when he was appointed. The name is coming up with increasing frequency in European media. I am reaching only a few thousand people with this -- so the US media really are controlled, not quite the Free Press the First Amendment promised us.
--2-- How many European countries are making big news protesting CIA flights to their soil? Flights they themselves agreed to?
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-flights26nov26,1,3965828.story?coll=la-headlines-world Hypocrites! Italy, Spain, Canary Islands, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Austria, Denmark, Iceland -- all are investigating CIA flights. However, 30 countries, perhaps more, have agreements by their intelligence agencies AND representatives of their presidents and prime ministers to set up CIA spy nests called CTICs -- Counterterrorist Intelligence Centers -- ON THE SOIL OF THOSE COUNTRIES. Parliaments and police in some of those countries are investigating CIA flights, but what did they expect? You can bet the intelligence service in those countries knows about the flights.
How about renditions, the kidnapping of people by intelligence agencies to fly them (again those CIA flights) to places where they can be tortured to get information for "counterterrorism"? You can bet Italy's SISMI intelligence service knew that Abu Omar was going to be snatched off a street in Milan, by the CIA, before this Imam Rapito (cleric kidnapping) happened in February 2003. Jose Rodriguez has a CTIC in Italy, jointly operated with SISMI. How can the right hand NOT know what the left hand is doing?
Even Syria, that hated enemy of the Bush administration, often mentioned as the next target, is used by the CIA. CIA flights take the really "hopeless" Muslim militants here to get them killed. The regimen is this: to Jordan for more serious torture than what the CIA is willing to do (described below); to Egypt for even more serious torture involving maiming and electrical shock; and to Syria to be "disappeared," just as hundreds of people in Central America were during the CIA's covert war known as the Iran-contra. ("Contra" means against. The CIA armed and trained rebels against countries that wouldn't kow-tow to US foreign policy.)
Some Non-Hypocrites in Europe
There are some non-hypocrites in this matter, some of the Europeans who are raising the question of CIA landing rights, overflights, and secret prisons. Parliaments are "investigating," supposedly. If the parliamentarians really want to know how to conduct a cover investigation, they should contact the US Senator from Dennis Rader's state, who heads the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (and for Coverups), Pat Roberts of Kansas. Earlier this year, Jose Rodriguez appeared before Roberts' committee and told about his sweetheart deals, with foreign leaders and spies, for spy nests (CTICs) in most European and Muslim countries. In his previous assignment as director of the Counterterrorism Center, Rodriguez would have helped plan and negotiate these deals.
The CIA itself has adopted one of Rader's (the Bind-Torture-Kill killer) tortures, as we shall see.
--3-- Don't expect too much from foreign investigations of CIA flights, CIA kidnappings, and CIA jails. MOST OF THE COUNTRIES INVESTIGATING HAVE RODRIGUEZ DEALS THEMSELVES. These deals for so-called counterterrorism networks among intelligence agencies involve the LEADERSHIP -- presidents, prime ministers, and their administrations -- of 30 or so countries with significant Muslim populations.
If Sen. Roberts covers the Niger forgeries for the Bush administration, you can bet the Italian Parliament will cover the Imam Rapito for Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. The Canadian Parliament will cover the CIA refueling stops, maybe even renditions on Canadian soil, to protect the Martin government, even though it has been toppled already.
Opposition parties and human rights groups will object when the investigations come up empty-handed, but they will not get relief from the executive or legislative branches of their governments. Lawsuits and prosecutions in the judicial systems might be another story, however. The US vs Libby shows this can be powerful. How powerful it is will depend on how independent the judiciary is with respect to the executive branch of each government.
As for groups like Human Rights Watch, which are tracking the CIA flights, remember, they are a mixed blessing. The findings of human rights abuses in the former Yugoslavia were used to justify bombing television studios (and this was the Clinton administration, not Bush just talking about bombing al-Jazeerah) and other civilian buildings. In Iraq, replacing Saddam Hussein with freedom and human rights has cost 40,000 to 100,000 civilians their right to life and the whole country its sovereignty.
--4-- Jose Rodriguez was an unknown -- still is, supposedly -- when he was appointed as the CIA's Deputy Director of Operations, or head of the clandestine (espionage) service. However, his position puts him just two or three management levels below the Director of the CIA (DCIA).
Rodriguez came from the relatively obscure Latin American division of the Operations Directorate. Besides this, another thing that wouln't *seem* to help his chances for appointment as head of the directorate was a 1997 case in which he tried to help a friend out of a drug scrape in Latin America. Of course, if the CIA was acting as the Cocaine Import Agency as reams of documentation tend to show, this could have been a "professional courtesy," or even backing up an employee.
What did help earn his promotion was what he learned in Latin America about subverting foreign governments to advance American foreign policy. This involves the CIA working with the leaders and intelligence service of a country. There's nothing wrong with international cooperation and the use of intelligence against terrorism -- we all are against terrorism (that's why demagogues pick that noun to war against). However, the CIA should not be in the business of coups and things specifically prohibited by the US Congress or the US Constitution or by the Geneva Conventions..
CIA cooperation involves equipping. training, and funding a country's military. In targeted countries where the leadership is not amenable to such cooperation, the CIA equips, trains, and funds insurgents, like the contras of Nicaragua, to overthrow the government. Covert warfare by the CIA was perfected by them in the Iran-contra matter -- in defiance of Congress and US law (the Borland Amendment). Jose Rodriguez, who is about 53 and an American from Latin America, may have been there, done that. In the Latin America division, Rodriguez certainly inherited whatever remained of the operations of Olliver North.
After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the CIA established CTIC joint ventures with foreign intelligence agencies in over 30 countries with large Muslim populations. Rodriguez's experience with intelligence collaboration in Latin America, the archetype for such collaboration, presumably came in handy and helped earn him his present job, Deputy Director of Operations.
--5-- As Deputy Director of Operations, Redriguez has to sign off on "extraordinary renditions," or "snatches" -- CIA transports of Muslim militants from their country of residence to another country for interrogation, usually to a country that allows torture. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraordinary_rendition According to report on renditions issued by the NYU Law School and the New York City Bar Association, an estimated 150 persons have been renditioned. Many of the renditions are described in the book "Operation California" by Guido Olimpio, which unfortunately has not been translated from Italian.
Earlier this year, Jose Rodriguez told a Congressional committee that CTIC joint spy ventures in over 30 countries have resulted in over 3000 arrests of terrorist suspects. About 150 of these were renditions. It is estimated that hundreds are permanently held in a US concentration camp at Guantanamo Bay. A dozen or so of the most high-value suspects apparently are shuttled by CIA flights among secret prisons in Eastern Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
Relatively few terrorists have been tried. This always makes big news. So what happened to those 3000 people? Every one of them needs to be accounted for.
Some Dare Call It Torture
As DDO, Jose Rodriguez also must sign off on what the CIA euphemistically calls "harsh interrogation." It actually is torture. Your average CIA officer could likely suffer about 15 seconds of the harshest of the methods involved.
This is only a simulation, but this describes how the CIA acccomplishes "harsh interrogation."
Assume Muhammad X is a tough guy who knows that Saddam Hussein had WMD and hid them, and he won't talk. So a cable goes out (this is a simulation, of course):
FROM DETENTION CAMP CHIEF TO DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS LANGLEY:
SUBJECT X NOT COOPERATING WITH INVESTIGATION. REQUEST AUTHORIZATION TO BEGIN ENHANCED INTERROGATION.
The reply comes back.
PERMISSION GRANTED TO USE ENHANCED METHOD ONE PER REQUEST OF 03 MAR 2004. ADVISE RESULTS BEFORE FURTHER METHODS.
JAMES PAVITT, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS.
An interrogator confronts X, grabs his collar and shakes. No harm done; these are not babies. But it doesn't work after repeated tries.
Another cable goes out:
FROM DETENTION CAMP CHIEF TO DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS LANGLEY:
SUBJECT X NOT COOPERATING AFTER REPEATED USE OF PREVIOUS METHOD. REQUEST ESCALATION.
The reply: PERMISSION GRANTED PURSUANT TO REQUEST OF 25 OCT 2004 TO ESCLATE TO LEVEL 2. ADVISE RESULTS BEFORE FURTHER METHODS.
STEPHEN KAPPES, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS
This time the interrogator administors a little slapping around. No harm done, just some open-handed slaps. The prisoner still won't talk.
FROM DETENTION CAMP CHIEF TO DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS LANGLEY:
SUBJECT X NOT COOPERATING AFTER REPEATED USE OF PREVIOUS METHOD. REQUEST ESCALATION TO LEVEL 3.
The reply:
RE: REQUEST OF 01 JAN 2005 GRANTED....HAPPY NEW YEAR.
JOSE RODRIGUEZ, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS
Method 3 is a "belly slap" It's not the kind you might do to yourself when you hear a good joke. It's painful, but it's not damaging like a body blow with the fist, which the American "doctor" consulted had advised could cause internal injuries -- incriminating evidence. But the prisoner still won't talk, so another cable goes out.
FROM: DETENTION CAMP CHIEF TO DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS LANGLEY:
PREVIOUS ENHANCED INTERROGATION METHOD NOT WORKING ON SUBJECT X. REQUEST ESCALATION.
REPLY: FROM DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS LANGLEY
PERMISSION TO USE ENHANCED METHOD 4 GRANTED.
JOSE RODRIGUEZ DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS
The prisoner has his hands bound and is anchored to a bolt in the floor. He is forced to stand for over 40 hours at a time, which of course involves no sleep. (And you thought your job feels like putting in a whole work week on your feet at one shot!) This is torture, or close to it. Think that would get this tough guy to crack? No way, Jose.
FROM DETENTION CAMP CHIEF TO DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS LANGLEY
PREVIOUS ENHANCED METHOD NOT WORKING ON SUBJECT. REQUEST AUTHORIZATION TO USE METHOD 5.
REPLY: FROM DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS LANGLEY
PERMISSION GRANTED FOR USE OF METHOD 5 PER REQUEST OF 14 FEB 2005.
JOSE RODRIIGUEZ
The subject is placed in a 50-degree room. He is naked. He is cold. Periodically the CIA officer throws cold water on him. The American "physician" has approved this technique, although the homeless sometimes die of exposure and one CIA victim reportedly did in Afghanistan. But most survive what any reasonable man, sitting in any courtroom in a civilized country, would call "torture."
FROM DENTENTION CAMP CHIEF TO DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS LANGLEY
DATE: 24 NOV 2005
INTERROGATION SUBJECT NOT RESPONDING TO TECHNIQUE FIVE. REQUEST ESCLATION TO TECHNIQUE SIX.
FROM DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS LANGLEY
DATE 25 NOV 2005
PERMISSION GRANTED FOR USE OF METHOD 6, OR WHATEVER.
JOSE RODRIGUEZ, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS
WATERBOARDING! This is not an extreme sport and it is not a ride Sea World is apt to buy. Imagine you are the patient of the American "doctor" who prescribed this. You are tied to a board like lifeguards use to carry drowning victims, but you aren't one, yet. The interrogators elevate your feet slightly, but the hydraulic principle is not to get blood rushing to your head to keep you from passing out. Wouldn't want that. They wrap your head in Glad Wrap. These people are not Dennis Rader, the BTK killer of Wichita -- they allow enough air to get in so you won't suffocate right away. But they keep pouring water into your headgear until you are sure you will drown. The CIA doesn't consider waterboarding torture? The average agent probably could take about 15 seconds of it.
Success. The interrogator has gotten the answer he is looking for and the US administration has more "intelligence" in support of the war on terror. Of course, later it turns out the suspect just said it just to get out of more torture.
FROM: DETENTION CAMP CHIEF TO DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS LANGLEY
DATE: 26 NOV 2005
SUCCESS WITH INTERROGATION METHOD 6 ON SUBJECT X. THE TIP FROM SCREWBALL IS CONFIRMED.
FROM: DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS LANGLEY
DATE: 26 NOV 2005
CONFIRMING RECEIPT OF CABLE. HASTA LA VISTA.

“It’s as strong a statement as you can possibly have on the unified determination to fight terrorism in all its forms,” British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who co-chaired the two-day summit, told a news conference. The first Euro-Mediterranean summit also adopted a five-year work programme designed to extend a decade-old economic, political and cultural partnership to such sensitive areas as security and combating illegal migration. Blair noted that it committed the 10 Mediterranean partners - Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, the Palestinian Authority, Syria, Tunisia and Turkey - to extend political pluralism and women’s rights and hold free and fair elections.

Experts want bioterrorism planning kept on front burner
Several top bioterrorism experts discuss bioterrorism preparedness at a forum at the Georgia Institute of Technology hosted by former Sen. Sam Nunn. The overriding messages were that there are serious gaps in preparedness and that bioterrorism must retain its position in people's minds as a serious threat. Tara O'Toole, director of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center's Center for Biosecurity, expressed concern that the focus on bioterrorism has dimmed for many local leaders. "Bioterrorism and nuclear weapons are the only two ways that could take down the United States," she stated. She and others said communities must continue planning for sudden outbreaks of deadly diseases. "We're not attacking the problem like it's a national security priority," said O'Toole.
CIA expert meets with Olympic organizers over security prep
Jose Rodriguez, the CIA's top counterterrorism official, meets with Olympic organizers to talk about security for the Aug 13-19 games in Athens. Greek authorities asked NATO last week for help in security against chemical, biological, and nuclear incidents for the games. Budgeted for security at these games is more than $800 million, three times the amount spent on security in Sydney 4 years ago.

CIA PRISON PLANES, FLIGHTS Led by Jose Rodriguez, ex Latin America Chief
JOSE RODRIGUEZ IN CHARGE OF CIA TORTURES--US Lawyers Front for CIA
JOSE RODRIGUEZ--WAS CIA IN LATIN AMER--Leads CIA Tortures
CIA Prison Flights Led by DDO JOSE RODRIGUEZ from Latin America Division
We describe CIA treatment of prisoners so you can judge for yourself. Each escalation of maltreament reportedly comes ONLY after an inquiry to, and approval from, JOSE RODRIGUEZ, the CIA's Deputy Director of Operations (DDO) at the McLean, VA, headquarters. We describe how CIA torture works and how agents work it with Mr. Rodriguez (and allegedly with his predecessors, Stephen Kappes and James Pavitt).
The CIA shuttles the prisoners around the world on civilian aircraft, almost all of which the CIA owns. The CIA owns the aircraft through holding companies that have one employee -- a contracted private attorney in the US. A Smithfield, NC, firm, Aero Contractors, operates most of the planes. We show how the CIA aviation office works with private attorneys. The lawyers have no need to know what the planes are used for, and undoubtedly the CIA does not tell them about prisoner transports.
THE COUNTRIES DENYING THE CIA FLIGHTS ARE LYING. SO ARE SOME DENYING CIA DETENTION CENTERS.
There is controversy raging in countries around the world about CIA flights-for-torture and CIA prisons. Make no mistake about it, the CIA is flying into almost all of these countries where accusations are being made by human rights and peace groups. And they are doing it with the cooperation of the local intelligence service -- SISMI in Italy, DGRG in France, MI6 in the UK, and so on, all over Europe and around the world. The governments of these counties will deny the existence of CIA flights -- and sometimes denounce the Iraq war -- until Doom's Day, but their intelligence agencies are cooperating almost ALWAYS in CIA flights and in some cases in CIA prisons. The denials are lies, in Britain, France, Spain, Germany, Great Britain, Canada, Australia, Poland, Romania, Finland, etc. Two dozen or more countries are lying about CIA flights and several are lying about CIA detention centers (which are small, not large like Guantanamo). Wherever the CIA planes are spotted, the local government and intelligence service know about it and are cooperating with the CIA.

JOSE RODRIGUEZ, CIA DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS FROM NOV. 2004
Jose Rodriguez, the latest CIA Deputy Director of Operations, was for years with the Latin American division of the CIA. He has been criticized for helping out a friend accused of drug offenses in 1997. The Operations section is the clandestine, or spy, section of the CIA. In a sense, Rodriguez is the chief spy of the US.
In Latin America, the CIA learned to cooperate with government leaders and intelligence and military services under the ruse of a war on drugs. This effort to overthrow governments that did not wish to be American puppets culminated in the illegal aid given by the CIA and US military to Nicaraguan insurgents in the 1980s. Later, expecially after 9/11, the noun warred on was terrorism. Again the CIA recruited the local leaders and intelligence agencies. The new CIA deputy director of operations (DDO) Jose Rodriguez spent years in this effort. The possibility of transfering his Latin America experience to Europe and the rest of the world no doubt influenced Jose Rodriguez's selection as DDO. Now the CIA's alliance of presidents, prime ministers, and intelligence agencies operating below the radar of news media and public opinion is nearly worldwide.
What these people didn't count on is the easy, nearly simultaneous exchange of knowledge about the alliance at lower levels, lay levels, by plane spotters, bloggers, and independent media like INDYMEDIA. The CIA's planes are being spotted and tracked in many countries, exposing countries that allow people to be snatched off their streets by foreigners -- and exposing countries that host CIA dentention centers.
BEWARE OF GOVERNMENT WARS "ON" NOUNS. THE "ON" REALLY MEANS "OF." The war on drugs in Latin American earned the CIA the sobriquet Cocaine Import Agency, as the Agency imported drugs into the US to fund operations they couldn't get Congress to fund. Similarly, the war on terror has become a war OF terror, including kidnapping, torture, CIA prisons, and indeterminate, nonjudicial confinement. In the Clash of Civilizations, we have thrown out ours, with its guarantees of inalienable rights granted by the Creator.
FRONT COMPANIES AND PRIVATE ATTORNEYS
The CIA's front companies are set up by lawyers (see below). They are holding companies for aircraft, and they provide a mail drop for business related to the aircraft, such as registering with the FAA and the state secretary-of-state. Several real companies -- contractors, some set up by the CIA -- have actual operations, including employees and premises such as aircraft hangars.
The CIA minimizes contact with outsiders and works through buffers. The front-company lawyers are buffers between civilians and the CIA. The Naval Engineering Logistics office is the go-between for military personnel interfacing with the CIA's aviation office on administrative matters. For sensitive top-secret mission communication, the channel is direct between the CIA and military personnel with top-secret clearance and a need to know. The CIA employs military personnel in renditions (kidnappings), and communication about this would be direct. The contractors like Aero Contractors occupy a position of trust with the CIA, and communication with them is more or less direct.
SOME DARE CALL IT ... TORTURE
These treatments are administered directly by CIA officers. To optain harsher treatments, the CIA "renditions" (snatches and transports) the victims to Jordan, Syria (our supposed arch enemy), and Egypt. The CIA's own methods have been approved by one or more American "physicians" (reminiscent of the Nazi Dr. Mengele), which supposedly has limited deaths from torture to two or three.
Here's how it works:
Mohammed X is a tough guy who knows that Saddam Hussein had WMD and hid them, and he won't talk. So a cable goes out (this is a simulation, of course):
FROM DETENTION CAMP CHIEF TO DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS LANGLEY:
SUBJECT X NOT COOPERATING WITH INVESTIGATION. REQUEST AUTHORIZATION TO BEGIN ENHANCED INTERROGATION.
The reply comes back.
PERMISSION GRANTED TO USE ENHANCED METHOD ONE PER REQUEST OF 03 MAR 2004. ADVISE RESULTS BEFORE FURTHER METHODS.
JAMES PAVITT, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS.
An interrogator confronts X, grabs his collar and shakes. No harm done; these are not babies. But it doesn't work this time.
Another cable goes out:
FROM DETENTION CAMP CHIEF TO DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS LANGLEY:
SUBJECT X NOT COOPERATING AFTER REPEATED USE OF PREVIOUS METHOD. REQUEST ESCALATION.
The reply: PERMISSION GRANTED PURSUANT TO REQUEST OF 25 OCT 2004 TO ESCLATE TO LEVEL 2. ADVISE RESULTS BEFORE FURTHER METHODS.
STEPHEN KAPPES, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS
This time the interrogator administors a little slapping around. No harm done, just some open-handed slaps. The prisoner still won't talk.
FROM DETENTION CAMP CHIEF TO DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS LANGLEY:
SUBJECT X NOT COOPERATING AFTER REPEATED USE OF PREVIOUS METHOD. REQUEST ESCALATION TO LEVEL 3.
The reply:
RE: REQUEST OF 01 JAN 2005 GRANTED.. HAPPY NEW YEAR.
JOSE RODRIGUEZ, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS
Method 3 is a "belly slap" It's not the kind you do to yourself when you hear a good joke. It's painful, but it's not damaging like a body blow with the fist, which the American "doctor" advised could cause internal injuries. But the prisoner still won't talk, so another cable goes out.
FROM: DETENTION CAMP CHIEF TO DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS LANGLEY:
PREVIOUS ENHANCED INTERROGATION METHOD NOT WORKING ON SUBJECT X. REQUEST ESCALATION.
REPLY: FROM DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS LANGLEY
PERMISSION TO USE ENHANCED METHOD 4 GRANTED.
JOSE RODRIGUEZ DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS
The prisoner has his hands bound and is anchored to a bolt in the floor. He is forced to stand for over 40 hours at a time, which of course involves no sleep. (And you thought your job feels like putting in a whole work week on your feet at one time!) This is torture, or close to it. Think that would get this tough guy to crack? No way, Jose.
FROM DETENTION CAMP CHIEF TO DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS LANGLEY
PREVIOUS ENHANCED METHOD NOT WORKING ON SUBJECT. REQUEST AUTHORIZATION TO USE METHOD 5.
REPLY: FROM DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS LANGLEY
PERMISSION GRANTED FOR USE OF METHOD 5 PER REQUEST OF 14 FEB 2005.
JOSE RODRIIGUEZ
The subject is placed in a 50-degree room. He is naked. He is cold. Periodically the CIA officer throws cold water on him. The American "physician" has approved this technique, although the homeless sometimes die of exposure and so did one CIA victim in Afghanistan. But most survive what any reasonable man, sitting in any courtroom, would call "torture."
FROM DENTENTION CAMP CHIEF TO DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS LANGLEY
DATE: 24 NOV 2005
INTERROGATION SUBJECT NOT RESPONDING TO TECHNIQUE FIVE. REQUEST ESCLATION TO TECHNIQUE SIX.
FROM DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS LANGLEY
DATE 25 NOV 2005
PERMISSION GRANTED FOR USE OF METHOD 6, OR WHATEVER, PER REQUEST OF 24 NOV 2005.
JOSE RODRIGUEZ, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS
WATERBOARDING! This is not an extreme sport and it is not a ride Sea World is apt to buy. Imagine you are the patient of the American "doctor" who prescribed this. You are tied to a board like lifeguards use to carry drowning victims, but you aren't one, yet. The interrogators elevate your feet slightly, but the hydraulic principle is not to get blood rushing to your head to keep you from passing out. They wrap your head in Glad Wrap. These people are not Dennis Rader, the BTK killer of Wichita -- they allow air to get in so you won't suffocate. But they keep pouring water in your headgear until you are sure you will drown.
Success. The interrogator has gotten the answer he is looking for and the US administration has more "intelligence" in support of the war on terror. Of course, later it turns out the suspect just said it to get out of the torture.
FROM: DETENTION CAMP CHIEF TO DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS LANGLEY
DATE: 26 NOV 2005
SUCCESS WITH INTERROGATION METHOD 6 ON SUBJECT. THE INFORMATION FROM SCREWBALL IS CONFIRMED.
FROM: DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS LANGLEY
DATE: 26 NOV 2005
CONFIRMING RECEIPT OF CABLE. HASTA LA VISTA.

2. THE FLIGHTS THE EUROPEANS ARE GRIPING ABOUT? *THEY* MADE THE DEALS WITH RODRIGUEZ; NOW THEY ARE BACKSTABBING THE CIA!
3. JOSE RODRIGUEZ HAS IRAN-CONTRA STYLE "SWEETHEART" DEALS WITH THE LEADERS AND INTELLIGENCE OF MOST EUROPEAN AND MUSLIM COUNTRIES.
4. RODRIGUEZ LEARNED THIS PLOY AS CHIEF OF THE CIA's LATIN AMERICA DIVISION -- THIS GOT HIM APPOINTED CIA'S COUNTERTERRORISM CHIEF, THEN CHIEF SPY (DDO).
5. AS DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS, JOSE HAS TO SIGN OFF ON RENDITIONS (OVERSEAS KIDNAPPINGS) AND "HARSH INTERROGATIONS."
6. RODRIGUEZ OVERSEES THE CIA's AIRLINES, USING AIRCRAFT-HOLDING COMPANIES FRONTED BY PRIVATE ATTORNEYS -- NAMED HERE AND IN MAJOR MEDIA.
--1-- The US media - NY Times, Washington Post, CBS -- are only showing how CONTROLLED they really are by calling the CIA's latest (appointed Nov. 2004) Deputy Director of Operations just "Jose." Google his predecessor as DDO, Stephen Kappes (Google this: "stephen kappes" cia) and you get about 515 results (varies). Google the DDO before that -- Google: "james pavitt" cia -- and you get 23,000 results. Google this -- "Jose Rodriguez" cia -- and you get three or four results (The Nation, Asian Times, and a couple others).
James Pavitt, by the way, was the DDO during el-Masri's ordeal.
The DDO is under cover? GIve me a break. Rodriguez has been doing the job for about a year. Before he was appointed DDO, while he was the director of the CIA's Counterterrorism Center, Jose Rodriguez made a high-profile trip to Athens to help make secure the 2004 Athens Olympics. His predecessors weren't under cover. What is so special about Jose Rodriguez?
The CONTROLLED MEDIA hides his full name even though the commentary magazine "The Nation" blabbed it all over the country when he was appointed. The name is coming up with increasing frequency in European media. I am reaching only a few thousand people with this -- so the US media really are controlled, not quite the Free Press the First Amendment promised us.
--2-- How many European countries are making big news protesting CIA flights to their soil? Flights they themselves agreed to?
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-flights26nov26,1,3965828.story?coll=la-headlines-world Hypocrites! Italy, Spain, Canary Islands, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Austria, Denmark, Iceland -- all are investigating CIA flights. However, 30 countries, perhaps more, have agreements by their intelligence agencies AND representatives of their presidents and prime ministers to set up CIA spy nests called CTICs -- Counterterrorist Intelligence Centers -- ON THE SOIL OF THOSE COUNTRIES. Parliaments and police in some of those countries are investigating CIA flights, but what did they expect? You can bet the intelligence service in those countries knows about the flights. How about renditions, the kidnapping of people by intelligence agencies to fly them (again those CIA flights) to places where they can be tortured to get information for "counterterrorism"? You can bet Italy's SISMI intelligence service knew that Abu Omar was going to be snatched off a street in Milan, by the CIA, before this Imam Rapito (cleric kidnapping) happened in February 2003. Jose Rodriguez has a CTIC in Italy, jointly operated with SISMI. How can the right hand NOT know what the left hand is doing?
Even Syria, that hated enemy of the Bush administration, often mentioned as the next target, is used by the CIA. CIA flights take the really "hopeless" Muslim militants here to get them killed. The regimen is this: to Jordan for more serious torture than what the CIA is willing to do (described below); to Egypt for even more serious torture involving maiming and electrical shock; and to Syria to be "disappeared," just as hundreds of people in Central America were during the CIA's covert war known as the Iran-contra. ("Contra" means against. The CIA armed and trained rebels against countries that wouldn't kow-tow to US foreign policy.)
Some Non-Hypocrites in Europe
There are some non-hypocrites in this matter, some of the Europeans who are raising the question of CIA landing rights, overflights, and secret prisons. Parliaments are "investigating," supposedly. If the parliamentarians really want to know how to conduct a cover investigation, they should contact the US Senator from Dennis Rader's state, who heads the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (and for Coverups), Pat Roberts of Kansas. Earlier this year, Jose Rodriguez appeared before Roberts' committee and told about his sweetheart deals, with foreign leaders and spies, for spy nests (CTICs) in most European and Muslim countries. In his previous assignment as director of the Counterterrorism Center, Rodriguez would have helped plan and negotiate these deals.
The CIA itself has adopted one of Rader's (the Bind-Torture-Kill killer) tortures, as we shall see.
--3-- Don't expect too much from foreign investigations of CIA flights, CIA kidnappings, and CIA jails. MOST OF THE COUNTRIES INVESTIGATING HAVE RODRIGUEZ DEALS THEMSELVES. These deals for so-called counterterrorism networks among intelligence agencies involve the LEADERSHIP -- presidents, prime ministers, and their administrations -- of 30 or so countries with significant Muslim populations.
If Sen. Roberts covers the Niger forgeries for the Bush administration, you can bet the Italian Parliament will cover the Imam Rapito for Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. The Canadian Parliament will cover the CIA refueling stops, maybe even renditions on Canadian soil, to protect the Martin government, even though it has been toppled already.
Opposition parties and human rights groups will object when the investigations come up empty-handed, but they will not get relief from the executive or legislative branches of their governments. Lawsuits and prosecutions in the judicial systems might be another story, however. The US vs Libby shows this can be powerful. How powerful it is will depend on how independent the judiciary is with respect to the executive branch of each government.
As for groups like Human Rights Watch, which are tracking the CIA flights, remember, they are a mixed blessing. The findings of human rights abuses in the former Yugoslavia were used to justify bombing television studios (and this was the Clinton administration, not Bush just talking about bombing al-Jazeerah) and other civilian buildings. In Iraq, replacing Saddam Hussein with freedom and human rights has cost 40,000 to 100,000 civilians their right to life and the whole country its sovereignty.
--4-- Jose Rodriguez was an unknown -- still is, supposedly -- when he was appointed as the CIA's Deputy Director of Operations, or head of the clandestine (espionage) service. However, his position puts him just two or three management levels below the Director of the CIA (DCIA).
Rodriguez came from the relatively obscure Latin American division of the Operations Directorate. Besides this, another thing that wouln't *seem* to help his chances for appointment as head of the directorate was a 1997 case in which he tried to help a friend out of a drug scrape in Latin America. Of course, if the CIA was acting as the Cocaine Import Agency as reams of documentation tend to show, this could have been a "professional courtesy," or even backing up an employee.
What did help earn his promotion was what he learned in Latin America about subverting foreign governments to advance American foreign policy. This involves the CIA working with the leaders and intelligence service of a country. There's nothing wrong with international cooperation and the use of intelligence against terrorism -- we all are against terrorism (that's why demagogues pick that noun to war against). However, the CIA should not be in the business of coups and things specifically prohibited by the US Congress or the US Constitution or by the Geneva Conventions..
CIA cooperation involves equipping. training, and funding a country's military. In targeted countries where the leadership is not amenable to such cooperation, the CIA equips, trains, and funds insurgents, like the contras of Nicaragua, to overthrow the government. Covert warfare by the CIA was perfected by them in the Iran-contra matter -- in defiance of Congress and US law (the Borland Amendment). Jose Rodriguez, who is about 53 and an American from Latin America, may have been there, done that. In the Latin America division, Rodriguez certainly inherited whatever remained of the operations of Olliver North.
After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the CIA established CTIC joint ventures with foreign intelligence agencies in over 30 countries with large Muslim populations. Rodriguez's experience with intelligence collaboration in Latin America, the archetype for such collaboration, presumably came in handy and helped earn him his present job, Deputy Director of Operations.
--5-- As Deputy Director of Operations, Redriguez has to sign off on "extraordinary renditions," or "snatches" -- CIA transports of Muslim militants from their country of residence to another country for interrogation, usually to a country that allows torture.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraordinary_rendition According to report on renditions issued by the NYU Law School and the New York City Bar Association, an estimated 150 persons have been renditioned. Many of the renditions are described in the book "Operation California" by Guido Olimpio, which unfortunately has not been translated from Italian. Earlier this year, Jose Rodriguez told a Congressional committee that CTIC joint spy ventures in over 30 countries have resulted in over 3000 arrests of terrorist suspects. About 150 of these were renditions. It is estimated that hundreds are permanently held in a US concentration camp at Guantanamo Bay. A dozen or so of the most high-value suspects apparently are shuttled by CIA flights among secret prisons in Eastern Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
Relatively few terrorists have been tried. This always makes big news. So what happened to those 3000 people? Every one of them needs to be accounted for.
Some Dare Call It Torture
As DDO, Jose Rodriguez also must sign off on what the CIA euphemistically calls "harsh interrogation." It actually is torture. Your average CIA officer could likely suffer about 15 seconds of the harshest of the methods involved.
This is only a simulation, but this describes how the CIA acccomplishes "harsh interrogation."
Assume Muhammad X is a tough guy who knows that Saddam Hussein had WMD and hid them, and he won't talk. So a cable goes out (this is a simulation, of course):
FROM DETENTION CAMP CHIEF TO DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS LANGLEY:
SUBJECT X NOT COOPERATING WITH INVESTIGATION. REQUEST AUTHORIZATION TO BEGIN ENHANCED INTERROGATION.
The reply comes back.
PERMISSION GRANTED TO USE ENHANCED METHOD ONE PER REQUEST OF 03 MAR 2004. ADVISE RESULTS BEFORE FURTHER METHODS.
JAMES PAVITT, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS.
An interrogator confronts X, grabs his collar and shakes. No harm done; these are not babies. But it doesn't work after repeated tries.
Another cable goes out:

The reply: PERMISSION GRANTED PURSUANT TO REQUEST OF 25 OCT 2004 TO ESCLATE TO LEVEL 2. ADVISE RESULTS BEFORE FURTHER METHODS.

The reply:

JOSE RODRIGUEZ, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS
Method 3 is a "belly slap" It's not the kind you might do to yourself when you hear a good joke.

“It’s as strong a statement as you can possibly have on the unified determination to fight terrorism in all its forms,” British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who co-chaired the two-day summit, told a news conference. The first Euro-Mediterranean summit also adopted a five-year work programme designed to extend a decade-old economic, political and cultural partnership to such sensitive areas as security and combating illegal migration. Blair noted that it committed the 10 Mediterranean partners - Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, the Palestinian Authority, Syria, Tunisia and Turkey - to extend political pluralism and women’s rights and hold free and fair elections.

Experts want bioterrorism planning kept on front burner
Several top bioterrorism experts discuss bioterrorism preparedness at a forum at the Georgia Institute of Technology hosted by former Sen. Sam Nunn. The overriding messages were that there are serious gaps in preparedness and that bioterrorism must retain its position in people's minds as a serious threat. Tara O'Toole, director of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center's Center for Biosecurity, expressed concern that the focus on bioterrorism has dimmed for many local leaders. "Bioterrorism and nuclear weapons are the only two ways that could take down the United States," she stated. She and others said communities must continue planning for sudden outbreaks of deadly diseases. "We're not attacking the problem like it's a national security priority," said O'Toole.
CIA expert meets with Olympic organizers over security prep
Jose Rodriguez, the CIA's top counterterrorism official, meets with Olympic organizers to talk about security for the Aug 13-19 games in Athens. Greek authorities asked NATO last week for help in security against chemical, biological, and nuclear incidents for the games. Budgeted for security at these games is more than $800 million, three times the amount spent on security in Sydney 4 years ago.

CIA PRISON PLANES, FLIGHTS Led by Jose Rodriguez, ex Latin America Chief
JOSE RODRIGUEZ IN CHARGE OF CIA TORTURES--US Lawyers Front for CIA
JOSE RODRIGUEZ--WAS CIA IN LATIN AMER--Leads CIA Tortures
CIA Prison Flights Led by DDO JOSE RODRIGUEZ from Latin America Division
We describe CIA treatment of prisoners so you can judge for yourself. Each escalation of maltreament reportedly comes ONLY after an inquiry to, and approval from, JOSE RODRIGUEZ, the CIA's Deputy Director of Operations (DDO) at the McLean, VA, headquarters. We describe how CIA torture works and how agents work it with Mr. Rodriguez (and allegedly with his predecessors, Stephen Kappes and James Pavitt).
The CIA shuttles the prisoners around the world on civilian aircraft, almost all of which the CIA owns. The CIA owns the aircraft through holding companies that have one employee -- a contracted private attorney in the US. A Smithfield, NC, firm, Aero Contractors, operates most of the planes. We show how the CIA aviation office works with private attorneys. The lawyers have no need to know what the planes are used for, and undoubtedly the CIA does not tell them about prisoner transports.
THE COUNTRIES DENYING THE CIA FLIGHTS ARE LYING. SO ARE SOME DENYING CIA DETENTION CENTERS.
There is controversy raging in countries around the world about CIA flights-for-torture and CIA prisons. Make no mistake about it, the CIA is flying into almost all of these countries where accusations are being made by human rights and peace groups. And they are doing it with the cooperation of the local intelligence service -- SISMI in Italy, DGRG in France, MI6 in the UK, and so on, all over Europe and around the world. The governments of these counties will deny the existence of CIA flights -- and sometimes denounce the Iraq war -- until Doom's Day, but their intelligence agencies are cooperating almost ALWAYS in CIA flights and in some cases in CIA prisons. The denials are lies, in Britain, France, Spain, Germany, Great Britain, Canada, Australia, Poland, Romania, Finland, etc. Two dozen or more countries are lying about CIA flights and several are lying about CIA detention centers (which are small, not large like Guantanamo). Wherever the CIA planes are spotted, the local government and intelligence service know about it and are cooperating with the CIA.

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d70/GDoole01/ea04ffaa.jpg JOSE RODRIGUEZ, CIA DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS FROM NOV. 2004
Jose Rodriguez, the latest CIA Deputy Director of Operations, was for years with the Latin American division of the CIA. He has been criticized for helping out a friend accused of drug offenses in 1997. The Operations section is the clandestine, or spy, section of the CIA. In a sense, Rodriguez is the chief spy of the US.
In Latin America, the CIA learned to cooperate with government leaders and intelligence and military services under the ruse of a war on drugs. This effort to overthrow governments that did not wish to be American puppets culminated in the illegal aid given by the CIA and US military to Nicaraguan insurgents in the 1980s. Later, expecially after 9/11, the noun warred on was terrorism. Again the CIA recruited the local leaders and intelligence agencies. The new CIA deputy director of operations (DDO) Jose Rodriguez spent years in this effort. The possibility of transfering his Latin America experience to Europe and the rest of the world no doubt influenced Jose Rodriguez's selection as DDO. Now the CIA's alliance of presidents, prime ministers, and intelligence agencies operating below the radar of news media and public opinion is nearly worldwide.
What these people didn't count on is the easy, nearly simultaneous exchange of knowledge about the alliance at lower levels, lay levels, by plane spotters, bloggers, and independent media like INDYMEDIA. The CIA's planes are being spotted and tracked in many countries, exposing countries that allow people to be snatched off their streets by foreigners -- and exposing countries that host CIA dentention centers.
BEWARE OF GOVERNMENT WARS "ON" NOUNS. THE "ON" REALLY MEANS "OF." The war on drugs in Latin American earned the CIA the sobriquet Cocaine Import Agency, as the Agency imported drugs into the US to fund operations they couldn't get Congress to fund. Similarly, the war on terror has become a war OF terror, including kidnapping, torture, CIA prisons, and indeterminate, nonjudicial confinement. In the Clash of Civilizations, we have thrown out ours, with its guarantees of inalienable rights granted by the Creator.
FRONT COMPANIES AND PRIVATE ATTORNEYS
The CIA's front companies are set up by lawyers (see below). They are holding companies for aircraft, and they provide a mail drop for business related to the aircraft, such as registering with the FAA and the state secretary-of-state. Several real companies -- contractors, some set up by the CIA -- have actual operations, including employees and premises such as aircraft hangars.
The CIA minimizes contact with outsiders and works through buffers. The front-company lawyers are buffers between civilians and the CIA. The Naval Engineering Logistics office is the go-between for military personnel interfacing with the CIA's aviation office on administrative matters. For sensitive top-secret mission communication, the channel is direct between the CIA and military personnel with top-secret clearance and a need to know. The CIA employs military personnel in renditions (kidnappings), and communication about this would be direct. The contractors like Aero Contractors occupy a position of trust with the CIA, and communication with them is more or less direct.
SOME DARE CALL IT ... TORTURE
These treatments are administered directly by CIA officers. To optain harsher treatments, the CIA "renditions" (snatches and transports) the victims to Jordan, Syria (our supposed arch enemy), and Egypt. The CIA's own methods have been approved by one or more American "physicians" (reminiscent of the Nazi Dr. Mengele), which supposedly has limited deaths from torture to two or three.
Here's how it works:
Mohammed X is a tough guy who knows that Saddam Hussein had WMD and hid them, and he won't talk. So a cable goes out (this is a simulation, of course):
FROM DETENTION CAMP CHIEF TO DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS LANGLEY:
SUBJECT X NOT COOPERATING WITH INVESTIGATION. REQUEST AUTHORIZATION TO BEGIN ENHANCED INTERROGATION.
The reply comes back.
PERMISSION GRANTED TO USE ENHANCED METHOD ONE PER REQUEST OF 03 MAR 2004. ADVISE RESULTS BEFORE FURTHER METHODS.
JAMES PAVITT, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS.
An interrogator confronts X, grabs his collar and shakes. No harm done; these are not babies. But it doesn't work this time.
Another cable goes out:
FROM DETENTION CAMP CHIEF TO DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS LANGLEY:
SUBJECT X NOT COOPERATING AFTER REPEATED USE OF PREVIOUS METHOD. REQUEST ESCALATION.
The reply: PERMISSION GRANTED PURSUANT TO REQUEST OF 25 OCT 2004 TO ESCLATE TO LEVEL 2. ADVISE RESULTS BEFORE FURTHER METHODS.
STEPHEN KAPPES, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS
This time the interrogator administors a little slapping around. No harm done, just some open-handed slaps. The prisoner still won't talk.
FROM DETENTION CAMP CHIEF TO DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS LANGLEY:
SUBJECT X NOT COOPERATING AFTER REPEATED USE OF PREVIOUS METHOD. REQUEST ESCALATION TO LEVEL 3.
The reply:
RE: REQUEST OF 01 JAN 2005 GRANTED.. HAPPY NEW YEAR.
JOSE RODRIGUEZ, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS
Method 3 is a "belly slap" It's not the kind you do to yourself when you hear a good joke. It's painful, but it's not damaging like a body blow with the fist, which the American "doctor" advised could cause internal injuries. But the prisoner still won't talk, so another cable goes out.
FROM: DETENTION CAMP CHIEF TO DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS LANGLEY:
PREVIOUS ENHANCED INTERROGATION METHOD NOT WORKING ON SUBJECT X. REQUEST ESCALATION.
REPLY: FROM DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS LANGLEY
PERMISSION TO USE ENHANCED METHOD 4 GRANTED.
JOSE RODRIGUEZ DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS
The prisoner has his hands bound and is anchored to a bolt in the floor. He is forced to stand for over 40 hours at a time, which of course involves no sleep. (And you thought your job feels like putting in a whole work week on your feet at one time!) This is torture, or close to it. Think that would get this tough guy to crack? No way, Jose.
FROM DETENTION CAMP CHIEF TO DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS LANGLEY
PREVIOUS ENHANCED METHOD NOT WORKING ON SUBJECT. REQUEST AUTHORIZATION TO USE METHOD 5.
REPLY: FROM DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS LANGLEY
PERMISSION GRANTED FOR USE OF METHOD 5 PER REQUEST OF 14 FEB 2005.
JOSE RODRIIGUEZ
The subject is placed in a 50-degree room. He is naked. He is cold. Periodically the CIA officer throws cold water on him. The American "physician" has approved this technique, although the homeless sometimes die of exposure and so did one CIA victim in Afghanistan. But most survive what any reasonable man, sitting in any courtroom, would call "torture."
FROM DENTENTION CAMP CHIEF TO DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS LANGLEY
DATE: 24 NOV 2005
INTERROGATION SUBJECT NOT RESPONDING TO TECHNIQUE FIVE. REQUEST ESCLATION TO TECHNIQUE SIX.
FROM DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS LANGLEY
DATE 25 NOV 2005
PERMISSION GRANTED FOR USE OF METHOD 6, OR WHATEVER, PER REQUEST OF 24 NOV 2005.
JOSE RODRIGUEZ, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS
WATERBOARDING! This is not an extreme sport and it is not a ride Sea World is apt to buy. Imagine you are the patient of the American "doctor" who prescribed this. You are tied to a board like lifeguards use to carry drowning victims, but you aren't one, yet. The interrogators elevate your feet slightly, but the hydraulic principle is not to get blood rushing to your head to keep you from passing out. They wrap your head in Glad Wrap. These people are not Dennis Rader, the BTK killer of Wichita -- they allow air to get in so you won't suffocate. But they keep pouring water in your headgear until you are sure you will drown.
Success. The interrogator has gotten the answer he is looking for and the US administration has more "intelligence" in support of the war on terror. Of course, later it turns out the suspect just said it to get out of the torture.
FROM: DETENTION CAMP CHIEF TO DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS LANGLEY
DATE: 26 NOV 2005
SUCCESS WITH INTERROGATION METHOD 6 ON SUBJECT. THE INFORMATION FROM SCREWBALL IS CONFIRMED.
FROM: DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS LANGLEY
DATE: 26 NOV 2005
CONFIRMING RECEIPT OF CABLE. HASTA LA VISTA.
