"The CIA''s Greatest Hits" details how the CIA:
- hired top Nazi war criminals, shielded them from justice and
learned--and used--their techniques
- has been involved in assassinations, bombings, massacres, wars,
death squads, drug trafficking, and rigged elections all over the
world
- tortures children as young as 13 and adults as old as 89,
resulting in forced "confessions" to all sorts of imaginary crimes
an innocent Kuwaiti was tortured for months to make him keep
repeating his initial lies, and a supposed al-Qaeda leader was
waterboarded 187 times in a single month without producing a speck
of useful information
- orchestrates the media--which one CIA deputy director liked to
call "the mighty Wurlitzer"--and places its agents inside
newspapers, magazines and book publishers
- and much more.
The CIA''s crimes continue unabated, and unpunished. The day
before General David Petraeus took over as the twentieth CIA
director, federal prosecutors announced that they were dropping 99
investigations into the deaths of people in CIA custody, leaving
just two active cases they''re willing to pursue.
The first edition of "The CIA''s Greatest Hits" sold more than
38,000 copies. This fully revised and updated second edition
contains six completely new chapters.
