WikiLeaks releases CIA paper on U.S. as 'exporter of terrorism'
Washington Compost ^ | 8/25/2010 | Ellen Nakashima

America has long been an exporter of terrorism, according to a secret CIA analysis released Wednesday by the Web site WikiLeaks. And if that phenomenon were to become a widely held perception, the analysis said, it could damage relations with foreign allies and dampen their willingness to cooperate in "extrajudicial" activities, such as the rendition and interrogation of terrorism suspects.

That is the conclusion of the three-page classified paper produced in February by the CIA's Red Cell, a think tank set up after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks by then-CIA Director George J. Tenet to provide "out-of-the-box" analyses on "a full range of analytic issues."

Titled "What If Foreigners See the United States as an 'Exporter of Terrorism'?," the paper cites Pakistani American David Headley, among others, to make its case that America is a terrorism exporter. This year Headley pleaded guilty to conducting surveillance in support of the 2008 Lashkar-i-Taiba attacks in Mumbai, which killed more than 160 people. The militant group facilitated his movement between the United States, Pakistan and India, the agency paper said.

I’m just glad not to be in the same kind of downhill spiral the left finds themselves in.

If lefties are in control of the CIA, it would help to explain why cable news provides better intelligence.

The left doesn’t have a sense of shame. Lefties go through life with an unshakeable belief in their own self-righteousness and superiority to everyone else.

Now doncha be humbling me. As Popeye used to say," I ams what I ams and that's alls that I ams." Right now I'm an old timer looking for a piece of land where I can hang out on the front porch chewing on sweet grass, sittin in a rocking chair and killin' any varmit that gets near mah land...heh, someone mentioned the libbies being in control of the CIA, they always have been or they get some REAL libbie like Panetta( been saying it all along) to shred evidence and redact the truth. My, my we need real strong heros, heros of old to set this ship called America right, ONE GOD, ONE Nation ONE people.

Gads I NEED a home to roam so damned bad. It would do my mind and body a world of good.

“The more time he is partying the less damage he will do.”

I think the reason he is partying is because things are going so well according to his handler’s agenda to destroy the nation. This wiki thing is just in line with it, too. It is much harder to keep a nation strong than it is to tear it down.

Oh my, I'd love it but sadly I was injured on a very dangerous job and have only bills, no savings, don't own a thing. I think my hero is a fictional character named Jack Reacher( Lee Child books) but my dream is a little different than walking through America...it sounds cool though.

No my dream or hope is to find a small place a bit bigger than an outhouse, garage for my tinkering, studio and place with little overhead or I can build( I love building) small addtions and remodels for rent( to own...it's happened before) and then just take off and do the jack reacher thing, only in a car; destination unknown. I wish you well and many prayers in finding a good owner but I was born in debt and though I have a couple degrees things never worked out in the financial department. I honestly wish I was on the payroll again, but alas, nothing I can do about it.

Take care now, and so after that story I guess you'd call me the," hero that's a bum." heh

gotta admit I do like the idea of wearing clothes a couple days then ditching them. The ability to shoot like you had built in laser guidance and the size and speed to stomp the hell outta anyone is pretty cool too.

Well material wealth is not the measure of a man, I’d say. You stepped up when your country needed you and my hat’s off (if I wore one) to all of you who have and do place your own lives secondary to others. I can only hope that I would have that kind of courage when needed.

People like those behind these “leaks” to unscrupulous organizations that seek only their own fame and renown have not a speck of courage or decency. Their ends will be according to what they deserve. You have your dignity, and no one can ever steal that!
