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.
