Kiriakou: History of CIA Abuse & Assassination

I do not agree with John Kiriakou about the CIA’s relationship to the 9/11 attacks, obviously. He doesn’t talk about the CIA hiding alleged hijackers INSIDE the USA from the FBI in San Diego, Florida and NYC. Nor does he touch on the Saudi government’s working relationship with Al Qaeda.
9/11 & 28 Pages of Treason
In the final minute, they touch on the JFK hit and neither Hedges nor Kiriakou can possibly find any evidence implicating CIA. Right. Half a century of cover-up doesn’t seem to mean anything to them…

“I Was Living Like Scarface”: The Ludicrous Costs of the War in Afghanistan Revealed in New Documents, Testimonies
I had $50 million in cash. The most I ever had at one point was $24 million on hand, in $100 bills, sitting in safes in my bedroom. And there was hardly any oversight whatsoever. Once we signed that money out of the vault in Baghdad, it was up to me how to document that money was spent and where the money went…I had no requirement. Literally. I am not joking. No guidance and no requirement to provide documentation about where that money went.”
The Great Game of Smashing Countries

Back in the 1970s:
Afghanistan won its freedom, which the United States, Britain and their “allies” destroyed.
John Pilger: Afghanistan, The Great Game of Smashing Countries
In 1978, a liberation movement led by the People’s Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA) overthrew the dictatorship of Mohammad Dawd, the cousin of King Zahir Shar. It was an immensely popular revolution that took the British and Americans by surprise.
Foreign journalists in Kabul, reported the New York Times, were surprised to find that “nearly every Afghan they interviewed said [they were] delighted with the coup”. The Wall Street Journal reported that “150,000 persons … marched to honour the new flag …the participants appeared genuinely enthusiastic.”
The Washington Post reported that “Afghan loyalty to the government can scarcely be questioned”. Secular, modernist and, to a considerable degree, socialist, the government declared a programme of visionary reforms that included equal rights for women and minorities. Political prisoners were freed and police files publicly burned.

Afghanistan: Total Retreat?

The private mercenaries are now reported to be leaving as well. According to Abby, only “1500” of them are armed soldiers of fortune. They cannot last without US military support. The Taliban may have won everything.
However, the summer-long delay of the withdrawal is a window for escalation by both sides, and may scrap the entire end of the war. The Taliban has already threatened retaliation if the US remains after May 1.
