"Under President Bush's authority, they've been going into countries ... finding people on a list and executing them and leaving." - Seymour Hersh

"Congress has no oversight of it. It’s an executive assassination ring essentially, and it’s been going on and on and on. Just today in the Times there was a story that its leaders, a three star admiral named [William H.] McRaven, ordered a stop to it because there were so many collateral deaths.

"Under President Bush’s authority, they’ve been going into countries, not talking to the ambassador or the CIA station chief, and finding people on a list and executing them and leaving. That’s been going on, in the name of all of us.

"It’s complicated because the guys doing it are not murderers, and yet they are committing what we would normally call murder. It’s a very complicated issue. Because they are young men that went into the Special Forces. The Delta Forces you’ve heard about. Navy Seal teams. Highly specialized.

"In many cases, they were the best and the brightest. Really, no exaggerations. Really fine guys that went in to do the kind of necessary jobs that they think you need to do to protect America. And then they find themselves torturing people.

"I’ve had people say to me -- five years ago, I had one say: ‘What do you call it when you interrogate somebody and you leave them bleeding and they don’t get any medical committee and two days later he dies. Is that murder? What happens if I get before a committee.?’

"But they’re not gonna get before a committee.”

THANKS TO SEYMOUR HERSH FOR HAVING THE BALLS & DIGNITY TO SHOW HOW A REAL JOURNALIST DOES HIS WORK !

    • Looks very much as if Cheney sized up Holder correctly. During his confirmation hearings, Holder manfully agreed with Sen. Patrick Leahy that waterboarding, which subjects a person to the panicked gag reflex of drowning, is torture.

      But Holder has been out to lunch since then, no doubt leaving Cheney and his torture-friendly friends smirking at having been correct in taking the measure of the new Attorney General. Call it chutzpah, intimidation, bullying — whatever; it does seem to be working.

      Cheney endorsing waterboarding; Holder labeling it torture; and — Hello? Anyone home? Deafening silence.

      Seymour Hersh: Secret US Forces Carried Out Assassinations in a Dozen Counties, Including in Latin America

      Seymour Hersh: Cheney Left Behind Moles in the Obama Administration
      http://thepoliticalcarnival.blogspot.com/2009/03/audio-seymour-hersh-cheney-left...

      He implied that they were still scared of Cheney.
      “Are you saying that you think Vice President Cheney is still having a chilling effect on people who might otherwise be coming forward,”
      Hersh, adding that he believes Cheney “put people back” in government to “stay behind” in order to “tell him what’s going on” and perhaps even “do sabotage”:

      HERSH: I’ll make it worse. I think he’s put people left. He’s put people back. They call it a stay behind. It’s sort of an intelligence term of art. When you leave a country and, you know, you’ve driven out the, you know, you’ve lost the war. You leave people behind. It’s a stay behind that you can continue to contacts with, to do sabotage, whatever you want to do. Cheney’s left a stay behind. He’s got people in a lot of agencies that still tell him what’s going on. Particularly in defense, obviously. Also in the NSA, there’s still people that talk to him. He still knows what’s going on. Can he still control policy up to a point? Probably up to a point, a minor point. But he’s still there. He’s still a presence.

      "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly. But the traitor moves among those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not traitor, he speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their garments, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared." - Cicero, 42 B.C.

      NOTE : While it is absolutely against my pacifist /humanist mantra, I would give the electric chair to that child chewing monster of a war criminal in a jiffy, but I’m sure the chair would loose & probably explose or something !!! Since I do not want to destroy government property which is against the law so I’ll refrain on my desire for justice in that way ;)

      CHENEY IS A TRAITOR : PROOF OF CONCEPT

      SEYMOUR HERSH: What I wrote about, in doing my reporting, I did discover that Cheney, of course, to no one’s surprise, if you certainly read what I wrote about Cheney and the White House’s involvement in the Israeli attack on Lebanon three years ago—Cheney was deeply involved with the Israelis in the planning for Gaza, resupplying them with weapons and also providing intelligence through our—the offices we have in Egypt, our intelligence offices there. So we were deeply involved in helping the Israelis do the attack on Gaza, with intelligence, etc., and weaponry.

      And he was, not surprisingly, very hostile to the election of Obama. And he called him a lot of pejorative names, but one of them that we published that dealt with—I think he said, “He will never make it in the major leagues,” and that kind of language.
      And more specifically, what I wrote about that actually is, I think, far more interesting is that Obama—and when he was in transition, his transition team let the Israelis know that—if you remember, the bombing of Gaza began in late December of ’08 and ended around the 18th of January, 18th. That wasn’t an accident. Obama told the Israelis, “I do not want bombing in Gaza or Israeli troops in Gaza at the time of my inauguration.” And that was—it’s not clear whether the Israelis were going to stay there. But the hunch is, they planned to go another week. They stopped short.

      And as I write, they complained bitterly to Cheney, who communicated that distress to General Jones, who is the new head of the National Security—former Marine General Jim Jones, who’s head of now the National—as I said, national security adviser. And Jones was the national security adviser in waiting, and he worked out a deal, which was that the Israelis would stop short, as Obama wanted; in return, the Obama administration, once in office, would not interfere with a prearranged flow of arms that was going to Israel. In other words, we were going to keep the supply of smart bombs and other weaponry going past the inauguration. And so, the message to Israel, perhaps, was, “Well, we’re still your friends, but not a blank check.” And so, that was a very interesting—it’s just a couple of graphs in my piece, but a very interesting couple of graphs.

    • Lessons Learned: Iran-Contra, the CIA, the CRS, and Cheney's Assassination Squads
      http://www.alternet.org/blogs/peek/133073/lessons_learned:_iran-contra,_the_cia,...'s_assassination_squads/

      While the assassination revelation got all the press, much of what Hersh said was not new. Hersh had described much of what was going on in a July 2008 article (1) describing operational tensions between JSOC and CIA surrounding a presidential finding authorizing covert ops in connection with Iran's alleged nukes program. The Gang of Eight had reviewed (to the extent they do) the finding, but the JSOC went beyond the scope of that finding.

      United States Special Operations Forces have been conducting cross-border operations from southern Iraq, with Presidential authorization, since last year [2007]. These have included seizing members of Al Quds, the commando arm of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, and taking them to Iraq for interrogation, and the pursuit of “high-value targets” in the President’s war on terror, who may be captured or killed. But the scale and the scope of the operations in Iran, which involve the Central Intelligence Agency and the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), have now been significantly expanded, according to the current and former officials. Many of these activities are not specified in the new Finding, and some congressional leaders have had serious questions about their nature.

      "It is easier to find a score of men wise enough to discover the truth than to find one intrepid enough, in the face of opposition to stand up for it:" A. A. Hodge

      "It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance".

    • One more criminal act to add to the list. It is difficult to comprehend just how criminal and treasonous are the members within BushCo.
      We watched for EIGHT YEARS as this cabal unfolded. Congress and the Senate did nothing.
      You would think there is enough evidence to prosecute these miscreants.
      Some should do time and some should hang.

    • Surprise: Dick Cheney 'Loves' Rush Limbaugh
      http://www.alternet.org/blogs/peek/131702/surprise:_dick_cheney_'loves'_rush_limbaugh/

      Just like Rove, Cheney is strutting his toxic stuff on national TV with total impunity and not the shadow of a descent journalist posing a half relevant question.

      That simple fact alone shows how lost, clueless & rendered without a shred of balls & dignity America has become... real sad & tragic !

      when the scum of the earth
      posing as the pillars of society
      somehow rise to the top
      it's time to skim them off

      there are those who scoff
      at the altruistic nature
      of progressive benevolence

      but it is love that supercedes
      above the hate
      it is charity that cancels out
      the greed, the greed
      that drives those monsters
      to kill, to destroy
      the good that is in this world

      they tread on hollow crust
      they trust in their own selfrighteousness
      knowing not the will of the father
      they fall prey to the lure of wealth
      instead of the good they could do
      their stealth is their undoing

      so when they rise to the top
      it is time to skim them off
      to give to the world
      a clear view of its future

      that which looms on the horizon

      peace

      WhiteNoise, you continue to be the vigilant overseer to expose those insidious coverts, with their hidden agendas, for the scum that they are... let's continue bringing up these transgressions so that the world will not forget that the injustice they thrust upon society and their betrayal of the public trust, is inexcusable, unacceptable and will not be tolerated by 'we the people'...

      Now we just need to make an example of them and bring them to justice, so that future generations will know... that these transgressions will not be tolerated... especially not by those who are entrusted with the keys to the kingdom to do the bidding for the people, then believe themselves to be above the law...so subvert to promote their own self interests...
