The CIA’s Family Jewels: Agency Violated Charter for 25 Years, Wiretapped Journalists and Dissidents

I'm sure General Hayden would like us to take him at his word. But who on earth will believe the CIA has 'reformed' itself, when even the mainstream press reports blatantly illegal acts like extraordinary rendition? The worst abuses we never hear about. The unfortunate truth is that the prescriptive atmosphere in Washington permits ANY abuse of human and civil rights so long as it 'advances' the 'war on terror'. According to this sick mindset, anything LESS than torturing, kidnapping, illegally surveilling and stripping people of their basic human rights would be doing 'less than everything' we could to fight terror!

This meeting took place about two weeks before Andrew Card whispers into Bush's ear at Booker Elementary School, and that strange look of recognition dawned on the president's face.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed: The Official Legend of 9/11 is a Fabricated Setup

Global Research Editor's note: The Pentagon has released a 26 page transcript of the "confession" of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (pdf) who is now being presented to World public opinion as the mastermind and architect of the September 11, 2001 attacks. This "confession" was read (in his presence) from a prepared text by his "personal [legal?] representative" at "military hearings" held behind closed doors at the US Guantánamo concentration camp.
