Eastern European Torture: Leak or Sting?

Couple of things caught my eye: She wasn't in operations but the inspector general's office, prompting some to suggest this was a sting; yet why would the UK minister risk a backlash over something that "wasn't real" and what is going on with all the flights . . .



Dana at the WaPo wasn't limited to working only with analysts, but also mentioned senior mangagement; however, we've only had the one firing.

Sweden is getting some speculation.

If this were a sting, Rice's denials should have been emphatic, and closed; yet the denials were not absolute; there were too many open loopholes.

By denying something that was "not true" -- all the while the denied flights proved true -- UK subjected themselves to a backlash.

Other views

1. Others. Let's suppose this was a sting, then there should be other arrests. Why not keep it quiet while they let the ruse continue, as they gather more evidence, and implicate others?

Response: The US government didn't reveal the sting; it's speculation. So whether it is or is not a sting -- and whether that was known or leaked -- isn't something that the US government is necessarily doing. There could be others, as should be expected since Dana admitted she spoke with many others.

Regardless whether it is a bonafide leak of real activity or a sting on a ruse, there are real people who leaked information that was supposed to be classified. It's one thing to suppress information about criminal activity; it's another thing to manufacture a crime to see who reveals classified information.

. . .

2. Focus. It's unclear why -- if she was actually focuusing on the alleged abuses in Iraq -- why she would have information about Eastern Euroupe. That would seem to be a different issue. It's not credible to belive that a single office would have a cross talk of different issues. Staffs on major investigations regularly go their own ways and do not discuss their specifics.

Response

The inspector General's office in teh CIA is not unique to a specific country, or issue. It deals with anything.

What remains to be udnerstood is Goff's involvement in the decision to shut down the CIA IG review of teh reports. Although the CIA director may have shut things down because of "national security"-arguments, the IG still has the ability to provide immediate concern issues to Congress.

Putting aside that McCarthy went to the press, what remains unclear is what communication within the CIA IG shut down the expected communications with Congress. It is likely that the CIA IG has shut down the reports to Congress, prompting McCarthy to go to the media.

Let's put aside the issue of the WaPo pulitzer, and focuse excsluively on the Italian prosecution of 22 CIA agents. It appears this was part of a larger effort, and they got caught -- because of their brazen openness -- becuase they did not expect the Itanians to do anything.

Also, consider the issue of the air transports across Switzerland. it is a vilation of the law to fly personnel from Italy to Germany; yet the Swiss were lied to.

The issue isn't "what is needed" but to what extent the US actions -- by violating the law -- have backfired. Some have suggested the US "could have" sipmly treated the prisoners like they did in WWII, and let the world see that they were being treated well.

The US chose abuse, and to violate the law. The US problem is that they not only violted the law, but got got; and now they want to blame others. The Nazi-comparisons are appropriate.

Preliminary Conclusion

Given the evidence/fact vacuum, we'll have to make some adverse inferences.

We judge:

1. The Rice denials are most damaging in that they are high profile, not absolute; second, the UK's failure to deny/denial trap -- if this were a string -- should not have been invented. Rather, it merely would make it less likely the UK would work with the US on issues of Iran;

2. The CIA detention centers are real, the flights are linked with bonafide illegal activity, and the leaking was related to non-operational information;

3. Dana's sources are reliable; and

4. Sweden does not appear to be linked with the commercial stopovers, but other activity related to bi-lateral agreements between US-Swedish intelligence services, something outside the narrowly-defined program in Eastern Europe.

To be determined

A. Prisoners: Whether they are holding Muslims or also Americans;

B. Other services: Whether the "CIA detention centers" includes also the NAVY sea-based detention centers;

C. Activities: What other Presidential activities the WaPo-connected-CIA-analysts were or were not aware.

D. Definitions: We don't have information on what the WaPo included/excluded in their definition of the "detention centers."

Her 2003, statement before the 9-11 COmmission was the year after she gave funds in 2002 -- why was this approved; and who missed her support of the DNC in 2003 that "should have" blocked her testimony?

Warning Analysis [ Ref ]

Note the flaw with warning analysis: They start from an incorrect assumption -- they look at the range of risks, and then develop indicators. This is backwards. It's better to be able to look at information as a single stream, and then see how it fits in with a new jigsaw puzzle.

The prolbem with McCarthy's approach is that it presumes that the hypothesis is accuragely contructured; in fact, the eemy will do what is surprising. They key is to think like "what we are not focusing on".

McCarthy as born around 1945, she's 61 years old.

What's curious is despite the official privacy policy of not revealing names and in light of the Plame affairs, her name is published.

This says she's married.
