only shaolin could turn this into a debate about CIA assets 
even if he was, i really dont see the relevance. a government that isnt all-powerful or all-knowing will, time to time, have to find assets to use for their ends. it doesn't mean they create these people. i mean seriously, how bad must the training be if all these people suddenly turn against the US?
it also doesnt mean that a former asset cant be today's enemy, which this fella clearly was.
also, in regards to bin laden (and correct me if im wrong) didnt the CIA training involve helping the muhajadeen (sp?) against the soviets? werent the soviets invading a sovereign nation without any provocation? how is aiding the people there against such an attack a crime? |
Heh, that's the beauty of of my statement, or question, really, it potentially holds true eigther way .
