Ex-CIA Officer: Torture Investigation a Must

[copperlady19]

I agree..The agents shouldn't be turning on each other.

[xmenrus]

Why would I care about this EX-CIA fool thinks? If you want a cleansing call the POPE.

[photo986]

Torture is nothing new to the CIA. In the late 50's they had a secret, barbaric brainwash program code named MKUltra. They paid a Dr Cameron in Montreal to carry it out. He injected LSD mixed with other drugs, massive electric shocks and weeks of sleep as a brainwash tape played. In the 1980's after finding out we sued the CIA and one out of court. My story is on You tube under youkilledyourmother also under MKUltra videos

[DocMcCrae]

There is nothing worse than an agent turning traitor on his fellow agents.

Robert Baer was nothing but an office puke and never an agent.

Nothing was done to prisoners that would cause permanent damage. Worse things are done in the training of our own special forces soldiers.

Police tase suspect everyday, some even die. Lots shit their pants. I don't see Obama and Eric Holder going after the police. Hummmm, must be a political move to attack the CIA.

News flash, Bush is gone, move on

[two1zulu2]

Doc,

you have an extremely narrow and cushioned worldview. Were you an office puke in another life? Or are you just a right wing rush limbaugh dashboard pounding moron?

[nosferotica1]

Hitler killed more people than Saddam and Osama combined, and we didn't torture or waterboard a single Nazi to bring him down.

[Shadyac21]

I don't want there to be another attack, but it seems that is whats gonna happen. How much blood has to be shed when these people realize that we the people, the military, CIA, FBI are not the enemy but the crazy jihadists psychos are. Obviously they didn't get the memo that says the war is over. Anyone noticed how the media doesn't cover the war anymore ever since the "operations overseas contingency" or whatever they call it. I pray it won't happen but these people have de-balled our nation.

[talllikelurchis]

What would this guy have done to terrorist? Wine them dine them.Maybe Obama can get on his knees and give them all a blowjob! Liberal pukes let me ask you a question......Would you rather have 10,000's of Americans die or have one terrorist tortured to prevent it? Think, Think real hard LIBERALS, I know thinking is hard for you and you have no concern for human life.....What gets me Liberals have no problem Killing babies, but will sacrifice the securities of Americans over a terrorist!

[joeasmythe]

obama shows his weakness. He will do anything to get re-elected, but we the people, will stop him. He is even weaker than the peanut, jimmy carter.

[DocMcCrae]

Eric Holder, Janet Reno and Bill Clinton should be prosecuted over the Ruby Ridge and Waco Massacre. Innocent American citizens were gunned down, murdered.

The CIA questioned terrorist, good for them. God bless the men and women defending America.

[Focoist911]

Denying that muslims did 9/11 is anti-semitic. In fact the internet is anti-semitic.

[Walt471]

Executive Branch abuses of power is not a partisan issue, if we are a nation of laws. Those who crafted any that are in fact against the laws of the United States, cannot be just given a wink & nod -- found a cool site; Balkingpoints ; incredible satellite view

of earth

[christmas254]

Remember the next time you fly look around OBAMA IS over the Interrogation now

[mjnr7777]

Is this guy for real? He was probably an analyst.......in the rear with the beer type of guy. Is all mad now because he could'nt talk to the bad guys. Correct me if I'm wrong, but have we been attacked since 9/11? Jeez, did scarring the shit out of terrorists actually get these guys to talk? Maybe so........ Or are we gonna say "pretty please" alot now? My God, we are turning into a bunch of pussies!!!!

[nosferotica1]

Netyana, Israel

Bali

Beslan School...

Nevermind, some other dude went over them all. No, US wasn't attacked. Possibly because they didn't care to. Several other places in the world were attacked. If our tactics were any sort of effective, they would've prevented London or Madrid.

But they didn't. Because it doesn't work, and all we're doing is opening the door for it to be used on our own citizens.

Soon we'll be waterboarding the next Casey Anthony to find the next Caley to "save lives"

[witecracker2]

who likes obama lets hear it!!!

why???i haven't the faintest

[MrSTANDFORAMERICA]

The only Investigation that's a must, is the Investigation of what Obama has done with the trillions he has stolen from American taxpayers and has given away to all his friends and to Kenya.

And use any form of torture it takes to find where all it went.

[inachu]

Torture by CIA are the members of AIPAC and are unamerican and tantamount to treason.

We need to strip them of their american citizenship and hand them to the country of the people we torture.

[TruLuken]

If the terrorist hit us again.... going after the targets they missed on 911. Americans will change their tune, maybe even the laws they refer to..... in a heartbeat . Our memory span in this country isnt much longer than a TV commercial

[witecracker2]

well the terrorist are in power,...obama bush chaney

TREASON

[ssvalhall]

Article 2 of the Torture Convention (adopted in 1984) states: 'No exceptional circumstances whatsoever, whether a state of war or a threat of war" as the by the International Criminal Court in Den Haag soon accused G.W. Bush et.alios with terms as Taliban-War pretends.Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, adopted 10 Dec. 1984, entered into force 26 June 1987.Bush's practices involving torture, disappearances & executions are facts.

[HemiHead66]

They still won't talk about all the murders. It's like they're releasing just enough to make it look like we're doing something. The ACLU has already posted The Department of Defense autopsy reports, and there were hearings on this with Jerrold Nadler. watch?v=8o7dQ0sSr9c

[tampabayproductions]

Read the 5000 Leap Obama and LIVE it! forward Glen Beck's videos from the next 5 days to everyone you know! He is EXPOSING all of these Thugz.

[tampabayproductions]

how conveneient now that he's losing his base supporters. 3 months ago he said it would damage the way others view Americans and would do NO good to pursue it. Now suddenly that his CRAPPY Health care bill is going down the tubes he waffles on this? he lied about the Transparency. He Lied about NOT renewing the Patriot act. there is NOTHING this THUG won't SAY or DO to further this Thugocricy and his CZAR's REDEFINING AMERICA.

[HemiHead66]

Man, they just don't get it. Give us Bush, Cheney, Rice, and a few other higher-ups, and let the rest off with a slap on the wrist. This is the Bush & Cheney show. Everybody else just follows orders.

[andrewh23]

The greatest threat to the integrity of the US and the freedom of its people will never be a terrorist. It will be an American who, out of apathy, ignorance, or fear, decides that essential freedoms should be permanently sacrificed in the interests of security. An American who thinks that the law does not apply equally to all and that we should look the other way when it is violated out of what one man calls "necessity." I am more afraid of men like you than I ever could be of a terrorist.

[nosferotica1]

A-fuckin-men.

Warrentless wiretapping to catch terrorist will become standard practice because not only will it break up terrorist rings, but it will break up other rings, too. It's amazing what you can get done when you don't have to worry about the rights and freedom of private citizens.

Next, when someone fires one up at a concert they'll stop the concert and search everybody there.

THE LAW IS BEING BROKEN, PEOPLE! DID YOU FORGET THAT POT FUNDS INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM?

[andrewh23]

You don't get to personally decide what the law should and should not be. No one man has that power - not even the president. We elect representatives - they draft and pass laws, guided and constrained by the US constitution. Some of those laws have made torture illegal.  Those laws have guaranteed due process to those in our custody, regardless of their crime. When we declared our independence, we did so to prevent one man, a king, from determining right and wrong, legal and illegal.

[elitebanktyranny]

I love secrets. Everything the Federal Government does should be a secret.

All legislation passed by Congress and signed by the President should also be a secret.

[fredfighteru]

What should be or should not be a crime is a political issue. The question of whether someone has committed a crime is a law enforcement issue. This is not a political matter, unless there is a political opinion that it should be OK to commit crimes.

[VictoryCough]

Its completely illogical to wage war when we're not even sure who the enemy is. Oh, its al-Qaedea. Or the taliban. Or wait, I thought it was muslim extremist. Shouldn't we be trying to find OBL? Not rebuilding Afghanistan, which is really a war in Pakistan and India as well. These countries don't even have exceptionally strong armed forces! Shame on the modern liberals who have completely ignored the growing wars.

[daskcool]

India and Pakistan have the best trained and equipped militaries in South Asia. They are certainly exceptionally strong regional powers. That's not to mention the fact that they both have nuclear arsenals and delivery systems that we know work. Your statement is not accurate in that regard. If the Taliban and Al Qaeda are left alone they will reform, take control and be free to strike again. Right or wrong, that is the logic at the Pentagon and the intel community..

[VictoryCough]

We should torture? We should break our own laws? I thought we were a republic and held rule of law above all else? The CIA technically is a constitutional agency anyway, so they should be allowed to go under the law?

I think the healthcare bullshit is just a distraction from the wars, occupations and the secret prisons.

[christmas254]

Remember the next time you fly look around OBAMA IS over the Interrogation now

[urbanprophet777]

Do a public vote!!!All cia and fbi files on table for all to see.*blinks* would never happen,why becuse it would cause ww3 lol

[PreCurSeD]

Human rights violations all over the place.

People of the United States of America need to wake the fuck up and see whos governing your lives and realize that they are wicked!!!!!

[dutchtennis]

not important,(howhever torture is evil)new World power is China.

and only China forget the rest .look at

world population by country and you see why.

[rjsmitty69]

Wow I wounder way the CIA fired you ... You are truly what is wrong with America.

[GuerrillaNewsChannel]

Not a Shocker that your a clueless moron that has been condition to believe anything the MSM tells him..Especially with a name buttcherryblossoms.Why would we expect anything worth reading

[mickyxital]

It is irrelevant whether torture was usefull or not. The Japanese that tortured American troops during WWII were not asked by prosecutors whether it was useful. Usefulness is an irrelevant question when dealing with torture as a despicable crime, or worse as a war crime.

[Pendragon1717]

Fuck you Robert Baer, you fucking traitor you! Whose side are you on anyway you dipshit? A thousand curses to you!! It's already been established that these techniques DID IN FACT prevent additional terror attacks and resulted in actionable intel. Did we stoop to our enemy's levels? Give me a break. Take a look at the way other non-third world countrys treat prisoners. Makes this look like fucking Disney-land.

[stewscum]

you can't go into a war under the guise of liberator and go torture a bunch of innocent people. To say we aren't as bad people in the third world is stupid. Do you think peoplein a desert will waste water for waterboarding? Just because their methods are less sophisticated does not make us any less barbaric in comparison. You should go to the "fucking disney land" ride some rides if it's such a magical place.

[Beatnick79]

Sounds like you have a bit of sand in your pussy.

[GuerrillaNewsChannel]

Really??Who established that these theories worked? The same people who performed them??Give me a break,Most of these detainees are goat herders,chicken farmers that were sold to the CIA for profit!!The war on terror is a lie..Then again why would I expect my dumb down American brotherin to think outside the close minded conditioning that the main stream media has feed them

[StinkingHombre]

Most of them where captured on the battle field. They are mostly scumbags! :)

[StinkingHombre]

The guy that orchestrated the bombing attack on the USS Cole was not an innocent "goat herder." He was a hardcore Islamic scumbag and some poor CIA agent is going to be put on trial for scaring him. You libtards are fucked up beyond all recognition!

[qualityrkc]

haha in your face hombre you xenophobe christian fundy prick. Justice and reason will always prevail eventually. VINDICATION! eat that shit you fringe extremist!

[GuerrillaNewsChannel]

O really??How do you know for sure huh??Cuz the brainwashing idiot box told you this..The research I've look at points at Mossad with so called AL-CIA-DA being the pasties and these pasties are still running around free,BTW..Go back to sleep and stick to watching UFC..This talk is way to high level for ya.Not liberal..I don't be into the Left vs Right BS,I know better,as they are both bought and paid 4 by the same interest..I'm not a sucker

[Pendragon1717]

The effectiveness of the interrogation techniques is certainly open to debate but the war on terror is a lie? Mumbai 08', London 05' Amsterdam 04', Madrid 04', Beslan school 04', Bali 02', Netyana Israel 02', 911, USS Cole 01', USS Tanzania 98. And those are just a few among thousands. Yep, there is no war on terror. Your position on that is mind boggling.

[Focoist911]

Assassinating the jews who control America now is open to debate too.

[nosferotica1]

Your account of the attacks proves one thing: Absence of Evidence isn't Evidence of Absence.

To say our policy has kept us safe for 8 years would be one thing if there weren't consecutive attacks elsewhere.

I'd believe they worked if they prevented those mass casualties. Defending the torture techniques is a farce. There can be domestic terrorists as well, are we gonna torture them too?

I'm sure at one point when we were nothing but a British colony during the revolution we were terrorists

[AnotherNutJob]

CIA killed JFK

[ROBdeLIS]

CIA traditionally hasn't done interrogations? Maybe so, but that doesn't mean that it hasn't relied on torture-gained information since its inception.

[bulldri9]

we need to practice what we preach. i think we have lost sight of that as a country in a lot of ways

[lookit87]

exactly

[Achack]

Do you want to know how many more american soldiers could've died because of information that we didn't receive because I sure as hell don't. They cut the heads off of their P.O.W.s on camera and post it on the internet. I really don't give a fuck what we do to ours behind closed doors.

[elspoko]

That's the problem you dumb fuck, THEY FOUND NOTHING OUT! The CIA includes all the interviews, and NONE of the detainees gave information that was credible! NONE!

Did you listen to the actual news piece? Are you that dumb? I understand we need to get info, but this way HAS NEVER WORKED. It just helps the crazys over there say "SEE THEY'RE DEVILS, WE MUST KILL THEM". That's more dangerous.

[jlobsien]

So your logic is 'they do it to us, so we can do it to them'? well if you want to live in a country that sinks that low, move to syria or egypt or china. we don't do that in the United States of America.

[Achack]

Lol, maybe you didn't just watch that video, it's pretty clear that we do.

[jlobsien]

yes. and it makes me ashamed of my country, and i think the people who authorized these things should go to jail because they broke the law.

[Achack]

And all of you fight for human rights but I'd like to see what you say when your the one putting your life on the line.

[CopperheadTM]

You don't get it do you? If we lower ourselves to their level then how are we better than they are? We become what we are fighting. Everything we've done has been in vain. All the soldiers who have died to protect the values our nation was built on, have died for nothing. That would be the most un-American thing ever.

As for Baer, show me an ex-CIA man who isn't bitter.

[Amarx00]

@Achack

Then pray that THEY dont get you or yours.... or better yet, pray that anyone on YOUR side, does not do that to you or yours.
