The interesting thing about the word “chattel” is that it has roots in the word “cow”.

I have a lot of respect for the writer, but sometimes I think he’s just full of crap. Considering I actually know someone who was at the US Embassy in Pakistan from 2007-2009 in a non-State capacity.

Not many in Pakistan, especially that area, give a shit about US interest and probably would have not told them anything. Look at the Pakistani doctor who helped with the vaccination program to get us closer he is in jail. Not to mention high level officers in the ISI had known about Taliban and Al Qaeda members being in areas of Pakistan and have done little to combat that.

Sounds like Mr. Hersh’s true intent was to get his name back in the news… and the masses are taking the bait.

On a side note… I, for one, am all for torturing the shit out of terrorists. Those piles of human garbage should have thought about the repercussions of being a piece of shit.

One Question May 12, 2015 at 9:53 am

I haven’t read the report personally so if I am wrong on this please let me know. I have seen in the media where his report claims the “Saudis” were funding Bin Laden. Who are they referring to when they say that? Saudis have funded Bin Laden from the start in the 80’s if you follow the money. Not necessarily the government but princes, well funded Wahhabis, and other “religious” organizations. Out of all of the stories that have come from this, this one is pretty undisputable. Read the book below if you are interested in more. It does a good job of showing the relationships the US State Department had with Saudis, Pakistanis, and Afghanis from the 80’s through the day before September 11th. Both the Saudis and the Pakistanis have played us many times. And the State Department seems to agree with this view of things since it is on their recommended reading for those hoping to become a foreign service officer.

If the Players Union is not as Racist as you are…it will be appealed down to 2 games…and $500K…we’ll see if the union protects ALL players…or just the ones that look like Obama’s son, if he did not abort the one he had…

*i* can!

Bush: Who knows if he’s hiding in some cave or not. We haven’t heard from him in a long time. The idea of focusing on one person really indicates to me people don’t understand the scope of the mission. Terror is bigger than one person. He’s just a person who’s been marginalized…. I don’t know where he is. I really just don’t spend that much time on him, to be honest with you.

Q: But don’t you believe that the threat that bin Laden posed won’t truly be eliminated until he is found either dead or alive? W: Well, as I say, we haven’t heard much from him. And I wouldn’t necessarily say he’s at the center of any command structure. And, again, I don’t know where he is. I — I’ll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him.

The “enhanced” interrogation used by the Bush Administration got answers. Whether or not the left thinks it or not. Bush wasn’t really worried about UBL as his power and recourses had been decimated by the end of Bush’s presidency. Obummer got UBL , whooptee. The downside was the loss of that really nice helicopter. UBL had been reduced to an old sick man hiding in Pakistan.

For more than 20 years, Hersch has been a regular contributor to the New Yorker. When given the chance to publish the article, the New Yorker declined, saying it didn’t hold up to scrutiny.

Hersch relied on two “consultants”, a retired Pakistani general who hasn’t been in the intelligence field since the 1990s, and “a retired senior intelligence official who was knowledgeable about the initial intelligence about bin Laden’s presence in Abbottabad” to develop his claims. In other words, he got his information from people who wouldn’t have had any first-hand knowledge about how the operation to take OBL down happened.

For someone who was so dogged about uncovering the truths in My Lai and Abu Ghirab, this is ridiculously sloppy work.

Yep! It’s not just the Left pissed off about it(see the NYT’s), it’s the Right too.

Everyone’s false idols are being attacked.
