CIA spokesperson Dean Boyd told Stranger, âYour suggestion that CIA had anything to do with this alleged activity is offensive, insulting, and patently false.â
It wouldnât be offensive if it was false.
I wish it was difficult to believe that an arm of the US government would break in and steal property from law abiding citizens, and that it would be unthinkable that the information gained from that theft would be used to assist intimidation efforts in El Salvador.
I wish I lived in that worldâŚ
âThe files include sensitive details of personal testimonies and pending investigationsâ
Please, please, tell me the fucking drive was encrypted.
Um, LOCKING UP VALUABLE STUFF AND PROTECTING IT? Might be a good idea. There are these things called SAFES that are hard to get into and very heavy to move.
Maybe some of these organizations ought to EXPECT the gummint to steal their shit!
But encrypting it would mean theyâd be unable to leave unencrypted misinformation lying around for 'em.
"CIA spokesperson Dean Boyd told Stranger, âYour suggestion that CIA had anything to do with this alleged activity is offensive, insulting, and patently false.â
Put this on the timeline of âinitial denials, subsequent confirmationsâ. Ok, it isnât a âsuggestionâ letâs make it an accusation and have the propagandist/spokesperson give their answer under oath and agree to prison time if proven âmistakenâ. the propagandist/spokesperson has no âskinâ in the âtruth gameâ and is simply a paid liar who may accidentally not lie on occasion.
I still havenât seen this movie, but my impression is it offers one such example in an easily digestible form
The article says the computer contained âcopies of the files, testimonies, and personal information of Salvadoran survivors.â It conspicuously doesnât say that they were the only copies.
(Also, I wouldnât stake anything I cared about on the CIA not having access to professional safecrackers, just sayinâ.)
The CIA was also offended and insulted about the patently false accusation that it illegally spied on the US Senate commission investigating Torture claims against the CIA⌠then it turned out to be true.
Still waiting for the apology on that one.
