CIA Chief Who Opposed Torture Fired .

CIA Chief Who Opposed Torture Fired. As V.A. nurse Laura Berg discovered, Police State USA is ruthless in rooting out opponents to its policies. Robert Grenier, the CIA’s top counter-terrorism official, was fired last week because he opposed detaining Al-Qaeda suspects in secret prisons abroad, sending them to other countries for interrogation and using forms of torture such as “water boarding,” claims another former counter-terrorism official at the agency.
Robert Grenier, head of the CIA counter-terrorism center, was fired after a year in the job. One intelligence official said he was “not quite as aggressive as he might have been” in pursuing Al-Qaeda leaders and networks.
However, Vincent Cannistraro, a former CIA counter-terrorism chief, said, “It is not that Grenier wasn’t aggressive enough; it is that he wasn’t ‘with the program’. He expressed misgivings about the secret prisons in Europe and the rendition of terrorists.” Grenier also opposed “excessive” interrogation, such as strapping suspects to boards and dunking them in water, according to Cannistraro.
Grenier’s firing gives the lie to claims that torture is against U.S. policy. Torture isofficial policy. The American sheeple who cheer the torture of “terrorists” need to realize just what Police State USA’s definition of a “terrorist” is: a “terrorist” is anyone who opposes its methods or policies. Waco and Ruby Ridge show that the methods used against foreign “terrorists” can easily be used against domestic ones.–The Sunday Times [Police State USA]

It’s interesting that Grenier was fired for not being sufficiently barbaric, but he obviously wasn’t civilized to speak out publicly against what’s happening.
