Yes, the U.S. DID Carry Out Foreign Assassinations . . . And STILL DOES

U.S. Government officials have claimed that foreign assassinations were never carried out.

However, in 2002, the New York Times wrote the following about the government’s assassination program:

Initially, the agency used that authority to hunt for Qaeda leaders in Afghanistan. That authority was the basis for the C.I.A.’s attempts to find and kill or capture Mr. Bin laden and other Qaeda leaders during the war in Afghanistan…In November, the C.I.A. killed a Qaeda leader in a remote region of Yemen. A pilotless Predator aircraft operated by the agency fired a Hellfire antitank missile at a car in which Qaed Salim Sinan al-Harethi, also known as Abu Ali, was riding. Mr. Harethi and five other people, including one suspected Qaeda operative with United States citizenship, were killed in the attack.

Mr. Harethi, a key Al Qaeda leader in Yemen who is suspected of helping to plan the bombing of the American destroyer Cole in 2000, is believed to have been on the list of Qaeda leaders that the C.I.A. had been authorized to kill. After the Predator operation in Yemen, American officials said Mr. Bush was not required to approve the mission before the attack, nor was he specifically consulted…

The list is updated periodically as the intelligence agency, in consultation with other counterterrorism agencies, adds new names or deletes those who are captured or killed, or when intelligence indicates the emergence of a new leader…

The development of the armed Predator drone has made it much easier for the C.I.A. to pursue and kill terrorists in ways that would almost certainly not have been tried in the past for fear of the potential for American casualties…

The more aggressive approach to counterterrorism is showing results.

George J. Tenet, the director of central intelligence, said in a speech last week that more than one-third of the top leadership of Al Qaeda identified before the war in Afghanistan had been killed or captured.

Pulitzer-prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh has repeatedly said that assassinations did, in fact, take place.

And the former number 2 man in the State Department – Col. Lawrence Wilkerson – confirms that assassinations did occur:

“What I suspect has happened is what began to happen while I was still in the government, and that was we’re killing the wrong people,” Wilkerson added. “And we’re killing the wrong people in the wrong countries. And the countries are finding out about it, or at least there was a suspicion that the countries might find out about it, and so it was shut down. That’s my strong suspicion.”…

“After some hemming and hawing, which was Rumsfeld’s forte, he finally admitted that he had dispatched some of these teams,” Wilkerson explained. “I don’t think we ever knew the full range of his deployments.” Wilkerson believes the CIA became involved in the program of targeted assassinations later.

Indeed, veteran investigative reporter Jeremy Scahill points out that foreign assassinations are still continuing under Obama.

I think we are not supposed to assassinate people anymore. Something about a geneva convention or something like that.

Brian,

Bragg is still active and has the red roof inn out in the wilderness. There are places that you are not allowed to look at or even think about looking at.

What about domestic assasinations? I think assasination squads in the USA would be even worse. One would have to be naive to think that our own CIA/FBI/Mafia/Killer elite black programs don’t go rogue on us.

John Kennedy Jr. was assassinated July 16, 1999. While I don’t agree with Judicial’s ‘zionnist are resposible for all evil’ viewpoint the facts reported in the following brief article are essentially correct. http://judicial-inc.biz/JFK_Jr.htm

Kennedy just had maintainence on his plane 10 days prior to his final flight. Killing John Jr. was a clintonista operation so that Hilary (Hellary? Hitlery?) could become the next senator from New York. John Jr. was going to enter the race and the clintons knew she could never beat John Jr. She wouldn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell. This operation involved the white house, security agencies and the pentagon. They recovered the bodies and cremated them and in less than 24 hours after the recovery (the 18th of July) the Navy took the ashes and the respective families for a burial at sea.

I have caught the history channel lying about this event more than once. The first time, they said that it was a week after the recovery that the ashes were taken out to sea. This year I heard them say it was three days after recovery. The plane went down on the evening of July 16; the bodies were recovered the very next day (the 17th) and they were taken out to sea on the 18th. And those are the facts. Can we say coverup? I think we can!

These vastards (because there’s a vast amount of bastards) will kill anybody, anywhere if it suits their purpose. It sure gave the rest of the “players” a heads up on what can happen to them if they step out of line. As far as the families were concerned they were ordered and threatened, so that they would go along with this coverup.

So remember the assassination of John Kennedy Jr. and the murder of his wife and her sister on the 16th of July, so that Hitlery could be the next senator from New York. http://www.poorwiseman.net

Hell, I almost jumped for joy today, when on the news they announced that shots were fired in the Capital.
Sadly a false alarm, but I still have hope!
Overthrow a tyranny, yes we can!

As long as the masses stay silent the more they will achieve their plan of total world domination! Watch everything you buy, use, wear, consume, they do and so should you! Do not help them even in the most remote way and you will begin to see great change! Shift the focus to what YOU want to achieve and not what they are doing! There are several paths to freedom. Please pick one, stay with it and warn everyone you know!!

Not surprised the US is carrying out assassinations, just surprised who they’re employing to do it and where and how it’s being perpetrated. Don’t think I’ll be flying again for while. Anybody think Cheney will ever be nailed for this?

Rumsfeld continue to be in charge of assasination squads.
The only difference that he is now consultant for Pentagon.
Money coming from taxpayer pocket and from Afgan geroine trade.
As You can see nothing changed with knesset in charge.
The only hope that Iranians will pay back in kind and take care of Rumsfeld

America is the greatest nation ever if some liberal pricks get in our way they should
be killed at least we do a good job of it. They should also kill a bunch of Americans that
don’t like this country and kill people that stand in our way .
There is no need to apologize.

The CIA are assassins and the whole world knows it. If they see a country they want to overthrow they go do it. It is sickening how they lie about democracy and freedom being the reason when they march in and occupy and tell them how to live in their own land. USA MYOB and maybe the rest of the world will work out their problems. Why does USA government think they are right and the world is all wrong and it is up to them to fix it by hook or by crook or both? Buncha pirates they must look like to other nations. No wonder we are hated by locals in these countries they destroyed. USA is nobodies hero they just have the audacity to think they are as they force their so-called freedom on others and take freedom away from their own Americans. Not to mention destroying what never belonged to them then move on to the next conquest which is usually the country next door. And they never clean up the mess in their wake of destruction. US government does not represent real Americans in any sense.
