CIA Dissenters Aided Secret Prisons Report: Author
by Marcin Brajewski

BRUSSELS - Dissident U.S. intelligence officers angry at former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld helped a European probe uncover details of secret CIA prisons in Europe, the top investigator said on Tuesday.

Swiss Senator Dick Marty, author of a Council of Europe report on the jails, said senior CIA officials disapproved of Rumsfeld’s methods in hunting down terrorist suspects, and had agreed to talk to him on condition of anonymity. 0717 01

“There were huge conflicts between the CIA and Rumsfeld. Many leading figures in the CIA did not accept these methods at all,” Marty told European Parliament committees, defending his work against complaints it was based on unnamed sources.

The report issued last month said the Central Intelligence Agency ran secret jails in Poland and Romania, with the complicity of those governments, and transported terrorist suspects across Europe in secret flights.

3. Actually, there are a lot of good folks working there. Why do you think Bush blamed them for it all?

Because he knows they aren't dependable conservatives.

The facts skew 'left' and the CIA would tell him so when he doesn't want to hear it.
