you want a terrorist organization? (not the peace people being now raided)

How the CIA ran a secret army of 3,000 assassins

(from Woodward's book)


-snip-

Although the CIA has long been known to run clandestine militias in Afghanistan, including one from a base it rents from the Afghan president Hamid Karzai's half-brother in the southern province of Kandahar, the sheer number of militiamen directly under its control have never been publicly revealed.

-snip-

The details of the clandestine army have surprised no one in Kabul, the Afghan capital, although the fact that the information is now public is unprecedented. There have been multiple reports of the CIA running its own militias in southern Afghanistan.

The operation also has powerful echoes of clandestine operations of the 1990s, when the CIA recruited and ran a militia inside the Afghan border with the sole purpose of killing Osama bin Laden. The order then that a specially recruited Afghan militia was "to capture him alive" – the result of protracted legal wrangles about when, how and if Osama bin Laden could be killed – doomed efforts to assassinate him before 9/11.
-----------------------------

our CIA is dirty. so dirty it's not cleanable. the whole world would be better off if the pentagon and CIA disappeared, never to be seen again.

I suppose now they will come and raid me.

1. Do any people who like peace like Hamas or Hizballah?

I know plenty of "peace protesters" who think their favorite terrorist organizations are blameless and campaign for them-

Can people who are peaceful anti-abortion protestors ever contribute to non-peaceful activists?
