The CIA committed fraud? Isn’t that their job?
Judge rules CIA committed ‘fraud’ in suit, may sanction Tenet
A U.S. District Court Judge in Washington, D.C., ruled in documents made public Monday that Central Intelligence Agency officials committed fraud attempting to cover for the CIA’s former station chief in Burma in a wiretapping lawsuit.
The ruling was reported by the Associated Press on Monday afternoon, although the ruling was issued in recent months. The case’s result had been sealed from public eyes at the government’s request.
“According to court documents unsealed Monday, U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth referred one CIA attorney for disciplinary action,” the wire service reported. “The judge also is considering sanctions against five other current and former CIA employees, including former CIA Director George Tenet.”</em>
What, the CIA lied as a matter of procedure? Lawdy lawdy. Will George Tenet have to give back his nifty Medal of Freedom, earned for his ability to concoct bullshit at the command of his superiors?
Ha.
