Afshin talks to former CIA official Ray McGovern about the consequences for the new head of the CIA and for the United States after Leon Panetta condemns torture, extraordinary rendition and those that were involved in it all. Also, will Cheney go to jail and what about David Milliband who denies that the UK secret services do not engage in torture despite evidence to the contrary for decades of British illegal activity, from Ireland to Gibraltar?
Hours later and after this interview, Leon Panetta retracted statements about extraordinary rendition or kidnapping and said that the Obama administration will still engage in the practice.

Obama’s CIA: Afshin Rattansi talks to Bill Christison, fmr. Senior CIA Official
Leon Panetta retracts his testimony to the Senate Intelligence Committee and says he doesn’t know about the Bush administration’s involvement in torture and he says kidnapping is okay, after all.
Bill Christison joined the CIA in 1950, and served on the analysis side of the Agency for 28 years. From the early 1970s he served as National Intelligence Officer (principal adviser to the Director of Central Intelligence on certain areas) for, at various times, Southeast Asia, South Asia and Africa. Before he retired in 1979 he was Director of the CIA’s Office of Regional and Political Analysis, a 250-person unit.

Jewish Peace News: A vital, groundbreaking resource for resistance
2.5.09
The following announcement introduces the groundbreaking project “Who Profits”, a new online data base recently launched in Israel and providing extensive, detailed information on companies and corporations that amass direct profits from Israel’s continuing military occupation of the territories captured in 1967. “Who Profits” was created, and is operated, by the Coalition of Women for Peace. Its relevance, even further enhanced by the recent exposure of the “Spiegel Report” (see: http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1060150.html) revealing the illegality of virtually all Jewish settlements in the West Bank, its probing factual insights into the vested financial interests in maintaining Israel’s occupation form a powerful, vital tool for both understanding and resisting it.

The threatened closure of a key Pentagon supply base in the former Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan, with serious implications for the Obama administration’s planned escalation of the US-led war in Afghanistan, has deepened tensions between Washington and Moscow.
The Manas air base, located near the Kyrgyz capital of Bishkek, is the major air link between the US military and American occupation forces in Afghanistan. Last year, at least 170,000 US military personnel passed through the base on their way to or from Afghanistan, together with 5,000 tons of military equipment. Approximately 1,000 US troops are stationed at the base, together with smaller contingents from France and Spain.
