die befragung vom 9/11 planer


äusserst faszinierender artikel über die CIA befragung von Khaled Sheikh Mohamed in der new york times - LINK

drei sachen fand ich besonders spannend:

- die polen und die thailänder sind mehr als kooperativ:

Poland was picked because there were no local cultural and religious ties to Al Qaeda, making infiltration or attack by sympathizers unlikely, one C.I.A. officer said. Most important, Polish intelligence officials were eager to cooperate.

“Poland is the 51st state,” one former C.I.A. official recalls James L. Pavitt, then director of the agency’s clandestine service, declaring. “Americans have no idea.”



- die new york times foutiert sich um das anonymisierungsgesuch von martinez und der CIA:
...the C.I.A., and a lawyer representing Mr. Martinez asked that he not be named in this article, saying that the former interrogator believed that the use of his name would invade his privacy and might jeopardize his safety. The New York Times, noting that Mr. Martinez had never worked undercover and that others involved in the campaign against Al Qaeda have been named in news articles and books, declined the request.

- die new york times bietet neuerdings permanent links für blogger an - danke NYT!
