Legendary War between CIA and FBI

Under any circumstances torture is not acceptable - and is against Geneva Conventions and UN regulations as well - but this little excerpt made me realize that Washington can turn ANYTHING into politics -

Also today, the Obama White House created a new unit that will report to FBI Director Robert Mueller and follow the Army's policies that prohibit waterboarding, effectively removing the CIA from the al Qaeda interrogation business. Mueller and his agents were the first and strongest internal objectors to the CIA's interrogation tactics.


So, one can conclude the legendary war between the CIA and FBI has been playing a part in all this stuff going on about US treatment of war prisoners....the FBI has apparently pulled off a grab that it has long desired! That's not all that needs to be addressed obviously, but . . . .

I wonder if this will only affect operations against al Qaeda? Or is it another power grab of FBI. FBI has an interesting history . . . . Hmmmmm.......

Torture does not work - I have read numerous studies that prove this. A person being tortured will say anything to make it stop..
It makes me sad that these things are still going on in 2009, especially here in Canada and the U.S.

Yikes.. Very scary to know what people do to get them to admit to something. Like Biddie said most people will say just about anything for someone to stop torturing them.

Oh wow what a stroy huh? Looks like there is a lot more under the surface of this issue. Looks like red tape or something.

Hugs thinking of you!
