Even the Washington Post (which I do not generally trust) is starting to shit itself in the face of blatant fascism.
The First Amendment is meaningless if it only protects people the government recognizes as journalists

As I have argued in anti-CIA cases here in the United States, the CIA is an organized criminal conspiracy like the SS and the Gestapo.

Last fall the ICC prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, said she is going to open up an investigation into the entire CIA extraordinary rendition program for violating the Rome Statute. Although the United States is not a party to the Rome Statute, these actions took place on the territorial sovereignty of Rome Statute states, and therefore the ICC does have jurisdiction. In my opinion, Gina Haspel is a presumptive war criminal and torturer. [We now] have a torturer and war criminal as head of the CIA.

This is huge.
“If there was already a grand jury in Alexandria looking at Flynn, there would be no need to reinvent the wheel for the same guy. This suggests that the investigation is bigger and wider than Flynn, perhaps substantially so.”

Cheney’s about ready to kick off from natural causes. Especially with Paul Jay calling him out the other day for his part in the 9/11 conspiracy. Now even the NY Times has caught up to what a lot of us have been saying for a FUCKING DECADE OR MORE!
Such is accountability in the unaccountable empire.
Let’s be clear why they tortured Al Qaeda operatives: To cover up 9/11 and make sure nothing that was said could be a) trusted, and b) shared with the world. They were highly motivated to flaunt the law and wrangle their underlings into the Conspiracy to Torture. This was part of an extensive official cover-up.
CIA snatched away Abu Zubaydah from the FBI, kept him incommunicado without a single question and then tortured him in a secret dungeon AFTER this happened:
Zubaydah initially refused to help his American captors. Also, disclosed was how U.S. intelligence established a so-called “fake flag” operation, in which the wounded Zubaydah was transferred to Afghanistan under the ruse that he had actually been turned over to the Saudis. The Saudis had him on a wanted list, and the Americans believed that Zubaydah, fearful of torture and death at the hands of the Saudis, would start talking when confronted by U.S. agents playing the role of Saudi intelligence officers.
Instead, when confronted by his “Saudi” interrogators, Zubaydah showed no fear. Instead, according to the two U.S. intelligence sources that provided me the details, he seemed relieved. The man who had been reluctant to even confirm his identity to his U.S. captors, suddenly talked animatedly. He was happy to see them, he said, because he feared the Americans would kill him. He then asked his interrogators to call a senior member of the Saudi royal family. And Zubaydah provided a private home number and a cell phone number from memory. “He will tell you what to do,” Zubaydah assured them
That man was Prince Ahmed bin Salman bin Abdul-Aziz, one of King Fahd’s nephews, and the chairman of the largest Saudi publishing empire. Later, American investigators would determine that Prince Ahmed had been in the U.S. on 9/11. [Escaped on that infamous White House approved flight, while the airspace was closed to Americans?]
American interrogators used painkillers to induce Zubaydah to talk — they gave him the meds when he cooperated, and withdrew them when he was quiet. They also utilized a thiopental sodium drip (a so-called truth serum). Several hours after he first fingered Prince Ahmed, his captors challenged the information, and said that since he had disparaged the Saudi royal family, he would be executed. It was at that point that some of the secrets of 9/11 came pouring out. In a short monologue, that one investigator told me was the “Rosetta Stone” of 9/11, Zubaydah laid out details of how he and the al Qaeda hierarchy had been supported at high levels inside the Saudi and Pakistan governments.
The CIA’s Destroyed Interrogation Tapes and the Saudi-Pakistani 9/11 Connection
It is my contention that the CIA committed Treason and Conspiracy to Torture in order to protect Saudi royal co-conspirators in the 9/11 attacks. Two White Houses have also participated in this conspiracy to give “Aid and Comfort” to the sponsors of the September 11th attacks, and that is high treason.
And nothing is done about it. It’s like ancient Rome at this point.
Good. Fuck that guy.

We call on President Obama to allow the U.S. Department of Justice to enforce our laws, and to immediately appoint a special prosecutor.
As torture is a crime of universal jurisdiction, we call on any willing court system in the world to enforce our laws if our own courts will not do so.
