CIA Official Dies in Apparent Suicide

[Ichingcarpenter]

A senior CIA official has died in an apparent suicide this week from injuries sustained after jumping off a building in northern Virginia, according to sources close to the CIA.

CIA spokesman Christopher White confirmed the death and said the incident did not take place at CIA headquarters in McLean, Va.

“We can confirm that there was an individual fatally injured at a facility where agency work is done,” White told the Washington Free Beacon. “He was rushed to a local area hospital where he subsequently died. Due to privacy reasons and out of respect for the family, we are not releasing additional information at this time.”

A source close to the agency said the man who died was a middle manager and the incident occurred after the man jumped from the fifth floor a building in Fairfax County.

(Paragraph 2. Accidents.)
For secret assassination, either simple or chase, the contrived accident is the most effective technique. When successfully executed, it causes little excitement and is only casually investigated.
The most efficient accident, in simple assassination, is a fall of 75 feet or more onto a hard surface
-- From "A study of assassination" here.

4. We locked this in LBN. THere are no other sources except these right-wing nutjob sources

It's not being reported by anyone except the Moonie sites or affiliates.
Additionally, I could not find a Christopher White except as a spokesman for the FAA or the TSA.
Nothing shown as someone who works for the CIA.

5. The Daily mail although

a tabloid reported this as did The Daily New

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/cia-agent-dies-apparent-suicide-northern-virginia-article-1.1747094

We shall see if other papers pick it up and verify it.

[OKNancy]

6. true, but their source is the Beacon

the "apparent suicide" happened last week. I'm skeptical.

7. YOU could not find other sources

than the Daily Mirror (which is sometimes the ONLY source of LBN posts) and any mention of a Christopher White? Well, I guess that's a reason to block news from LBN, then.

REVEALED: INSIDE THE SENATE REPORT ON CIA INTERROGATIONS
Exclusive: Intelligence Committee probe concluded some techniques used in CIA interrogations were not legally authorized
March 18, 2014 8:45AM ET
by Jason Leopold

... “In early 2008, in a conference room that is referred to as a sensitive compartmented information facility (SCIF), I gave a classified briefing on Abu Zubaydah to staffers of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence,” Soufan wrote. “The staffers present were shocked. What I told them contradicted everything they had been told by Bush administration and CIA officials. When the discussion turned to whether I could prove everything I was saying, I told them, ‘Remember, an FBI agent always keep his notes.’ ”

The committee tried to gain access to Soufan’s notes — then in possession of the CIA and FBI — after it launched a review of the agency’s detention and interrogation program in 2009. But Senate investigators were told, according to Al Jazeera’s sources, that Soufan’s notes were missing and could not be found in either the FBI’s or CIA’s computer system, where other classified records about the interrogation program were stored. More than a year later, the notes ended up with the Senate Intelligence Committee (...).

Two Senate staffers told Al Jazeera that the Panetta documents question the Bush administration claims about the efficacy of Abu Zubaydah’s torture, and the staffers noted that some of the techniques to which he was subjected early in his captivity had not yet been authorized.

Christopher White, a CIA spokesman, declined to answer questions about the Senate report’s conclusions on Abu Zubaydah, Soufan’s notes or Panetta’s documents.

Former FBI agent missing in Iran was working for the CIA – report

... Christopher White, a CIA spokesman, neither confirmed nor denied Levinson's affiliation with the agency. “We have no comment on any purported affiliation between Mr Levinson and the US government. The US government remains committed to bringing him home safely to his family.”

It could be argued, of course, that someone who always "neither confirms nor denies" is not properly called a "spokes"man...

Okay, so he DOES speak every now and then, if only about not making comments "one way or the other":

The woman who tracked down a CIA mole
By Tara McKelvey
BBC News Magazine

Sandra Grimes knew that one of her colleagues was a traitor - one of the biggest in US history, as it turned out. She helped put him in prison for the rest of his life. Her story is now told in a TV miniseries.

CIA spokesman Christopher White says they avoid discussions about these kinds of programmes. "We don't endorse - one way or the other," he says.

and here is finally one where he DOES appear to say something:

Experts — and CIA — look at manipulating climate
7/30/13 By Jodi Helmer of MSN News

In an emailed statement, Christopher White, a spokesman for the CIA's office of public affairs, told MSN, “On a subject like climate change, the agency works with scientists to better understand the phenomenon and its implications on national security.”

8. It was not banned, it was locked

for the source. The White comments was an aside, and I was mistaken about that, but not about the Beacon being a source that does not comply with the SOP of Latest Breaking News. The mail lists their source as the Beacon.

Statement of Purpose for Latest Breaking News Forum

Post the latest news from reputable mainstream news websites and blogs. Important news of national interest only.
No analysis or opinion pieces. No duplicates. News stories must have been published within the last 12 hours.
Use the published title of the story as the title of the discussion thread.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=about&forum=1014

Additionally, this was not a unilateral decision. I did the lock, but other hosts agreed. The article can and is being read in this very thread, so cries of censorship are bogus.

[reorg]

11. You have no idea whether the "Beacon" was the (only) source

of the Daily Mirror and neither do you know if or how the other newspapers and blogs verified what the "Beacon" reported.

I know this is not the appropriate forum to discuss LBN host activities, but I remember certain actions from certain individuals in the same vein, and that's why I very much enjoyed our little exchange here, demonstrating that the righteous can also be wrong, LOL.

[OKNancy]

13. LOL - all I know is that the only people reporting it are

are Right-wing sites. If that is righteous, then I'll accept it.

[greatauntoftriplets]

14. Yes, the "Daily Fail" is such a reputable source!

Extremely right-wing and noted for making up crap to further their ultra-conservative editorial policy.

Some theories have emerged that the Daily Mail merely writes the trash that it does in order to provoke massive swarms of links and clicks to its website, thus milking its sponsors and advertisers for masses of cash.

The Daily Mail is to the U.K. what the New York Post is to the United States, and what the Drudge Report is to the Internet: to wit, gossipy tabloid "journalism" for those who cannot digest serious news, with a flippantly wingnut editorial stance. The Daily Mail is notable among British tabloids for rejecting the standard red-top banner order to try to appear more upmarket and respectable, although it does sometimes go in for the full front-page picture or headline characteristic of the working class rags. It is also notorious for its frequent harassment of individuals, campaigns of hate directed at various minorities, and willfully deceiving and lying to its readers.

The Mail is usually considered the furthest right of all UK newspapers/tabloids; it competes for this spot with the Daily Express. Although some of the red-top tabloids might throw about more extreme rhetoric, their laddish attitude often means they're not taken too seriously - the Mail, however is entirely Serious Business. Their primary editorial stances are:

Anti-immigration
Anti-welfare and poor people in general
Health sensationalism (particularly with respect to cancer)
Anti–government
Anti-LGBT
Anti-Europe
Anti-taxes (mainly for those who can afford to pay them)
Pro-objectification of women
Declinism about UK life, the economy, etc.
Pro-complaining about anything and everything

A traditionally conservative tabloid (by UK standards), The Mail is currently blaming the European Union and European immigration to Britain for the economic crisis in Britain. It likes to incite its readers against minorities with sensationalist headlines about the benefits immigrants receive and the threat they pose to British culture and security (almost always entirely founded on lies). It frequently reports that the country is "going to the dogs" and we're all going to die, while at the same time wondering why people are voting for the British National Party. Some British people find this amusing as the Mail's editorial stances are indistinguishable from BNP policies.

9. Christopher White statement you made

needs to be acknowledged as a falsehood.

Thanks.

[OKNancy]

10. no it does not

I did say that I made a mistake in a previous post, however my first post was in the first person. I wrote " I could not find".

It matters not anyway. It still is not in reputable media. I don't really care if it's true or not. I don't know why some really, really want it to be true however.

I'm done

[reorg]

12. yeah, you "could not find"

other mentions because the first two pages of search results only refer to the article mentioned in the OP. If you looked further and "could not find it", you must have not wanted to, I guess, QED.
