Questions linger over why CIA operative is at NYPD

By ADAM GOLDMAN and MATT APUZZO - Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Working inside the New York Police Department is one of the CIA's most experienced clandestine operatives. He arrived in July as the special assistant to the deputy commissioner of intelligence. While his title is clear, his job responsibilities are not.

Federal and city officials have offered differing explanations for why this top CIA officer was assigned to a municipal police department since The Associated Press revealed the assignment in August. The CIA is prohibited from spying domestically, and its unusual partnership with the NYPD has troubled top lawmakers and prompted an internal investigation.

and the M.I.C. is less covert than it used to be.

6. Wonder what they were planning?

On Monday, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg defended the arrangement.

"We live in a dangerous world. There are people trying to kill us. And if the CIA can help us I'm all for getting any information they have and then letting the police department use it as — if it's appropriate to protect you and to protect me," he said.

Gee...he almost came out and said the police could kill people and torture them just like the CIA...er I mean protect you and I. :eyes:

CIA-NYPD...who knows where it ends and where it begins.

Yes we live in a dangerous world that these assholes in charge have made far more dangerous my pissing all over any right The People had before 9/11. All in the name of a war against words and emotions. If they (the powers that be) had any real intent on stopping terrorism, 9/11 would have never happened.

Fuck these assholes and their control freak, authoritarian rule. It has already made us a plutocracy...what other fresh hell can our militant-paymasters offer us?
