How %@#$-ed up is our government?
The CIA is investigating ITS OWN Inspector General, who just happens to be investigating the CIA on the issue of "interrogation programs" ...
Or, to state the obvious, TORTURE... The director of the Central Intelligence Agency, Gen. Michael V. Hayden, has ordered an unusual internal inquiry into the work of the agency’s inspector general, whose aggressive investigations of the C.I.A.’s detention and interrogation programs and other matters have created resentment among agency operatives.
....
A small team working for General Hayden is looking into the conduct of the agency’s watchdog office, which is led by Inspector General John L. Helgerson. Current and former government officials said the review had caused anxiety and anger in Mr. Helgerson’s office and aroused concern on Capitol Hill that it posed a conflict of interest.
....
A report by Mr. Helgerson’s office completed in the spring of 2004 warned that some C.I.A.-approved interrogation procedures appeared to constitute cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment, as defined by the international Convention Against Torture. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/11/wa...2intel.html?hp "(Gay marriage) is a debate about whether you think gay people are part of the human condition or just a random fetish."
