New York Times Outs CIA Interrogator

[dmek25]

the big difference is that Karl Rove worked directly for the president. just a minor detail

Dude has never worked undercover? How can you out someone if he doesn't work undercover? Does the mere fact that you work for the CIA put your name off limits? And why are his colleagues naming him? Is this guy really comparable to Valerie Plame (career covert agent) or Douglas Feith? What's even more disturbing is that this guy is a career narcotics analyst and had no terrorism expertise and no interrogation experience and was doing some serious dirty work.

I suppose everyone at the CIA is trying to cover their own asses at this point and I'm sure he doesn't appreciate everyone pointing their dirty fingers at him. I imagine that, while relatively comfy, no one wants to go to a federal prison or accused of war crimes.

you don't want to point out who does what, cause it makes it easier to target specific people or infrastructure.

there's a lot of "stuff" that happens in certain places that people just don't know about, and that privacy helps save a lot of money on security.

i'm sorry i can't give you more specific examples, but that's life.

Security through obscurity? I would hope and pray that my tax money is being used to provide real security. Besides, Gitmo and the other black interrogations sites aren't exactly top secrete. Finally, I would like to add that I am of the opinion that anyone who as participated or authorized torture should be outed and held accountable. I can't help it.

i'm not talking about interrogation sites and if you got the bill for your proposal, you might change your mind.
