This is the funniest most ridiculous perverse thing I’ve seen … well, since the last time I looked at mainstream news. CIA Director Porter Goss testifying before the Senate Armed Forces Committee made the following hilarious remarks:
- “The U.S. government does not engage in or condone torture,†Goss said.
[...] Goss said he believes there is a policy in the intelligence community and where there is any uncertainty officials err on the side of caution.
“We don’t do torture,†Goss said.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA aaaaaaah…. So everybody has obviously already forgotten about Abu Ghraib, and forgotten all the photos, video and testimony. Nevermind all the rest.
It’s amazing. I mean, who in their right mind believes anything that comes out of the mouth of the director of the spy agency? It’s like asking a used car salesman if the car you’re thinking of buying has a history of problems. I mean, shit, the CIA saying “We don’t do torture” is like a dog saying, “I don’t sniff butts.”
Of course, the convenient thing for the CIA in this case though, is their structure. All their torturing is subcontracted. Just like all their drug-running. They use people who aren’t legitimately on the CIA payroll, for the express purpose of being able to make ridiculous bold-faced statements like “We don’t do torture.” Why would they have to do it when they can just pay somebody else to under the table? Even the MSNBC article this came from mentions this, but only very briefly:
- The United States has come under recent criticism both for sending detainees to countries where they could be tortured and for indefinitely holding foreign nationals suspected of being terrorists.
It’s called outsourcing, bitch.
