My guess is that Obey has given up the “not available” names. The briefer, not cited in the CIA summary, was General Hayden. The “Walker” would be, I suspect, Mary Walker.

Ackerman has a piece upon the CIA’s response to Obey: Notes, recollections, memos - that’s all we got.

They don’t mention how many of the notes are in the margin in Cheney’s handwriting.

I saw the same thing in Viet Nam. I lived across the street from them in My Tho. They shot a neighbor’s dog from their balcony with a bow and arrow for barking too much. They were called “embassy people.” They were thug-like in appearance and behavior. They did not help to win hearts and minds and we know how wrong they were on the intel.

Looks like Raven had similar experiences in Vinh Long.

Miliband won’t, but I’m thinking that the High Court judges will.

Sheesh. Somebody has to break this nonsense wide open.

I don’t know how it feels to American friends here to read that, but to a foreigner comme moi, that is a profoundly depressing piece of writing, mostly, I suppose, because I believe just about all of it.

OT, but looky - the Democrats in the Senate are going to block funds for closing GITMO.

Isn’t that special.
