Interview with Ray on CIA torture

One need not be a rocket scientist, or a super-analyst, to piece together why current CIA director John Brennan has been delaying release of the comprehensive Senate Intelligence Committee on CIA torture. It is a no-brainer: the report implicates Brennan and some of his closest co-conspirators, including his patron, former CIA director George Tenet – all of whom have gotten away with murder, literally, until now.

Ray comments on one purpose for which torture “works like a charm,” namely, extracting the kind of false information needed to start a war – read Iraq.

After Ray lectured at the University of Missouri in Columbia on the evening of April 1, he was interviewed by phone by Radio New Zealand. (5 min.)

TheRealNews reports on Coleen Rowley, Norman Solomon, and Ray discussing Edward Snowden, his right to get his passport back and be free of threats.

This short segment highlights Establishment Washington and Mainstream Media hypocrisy in their continued effort to “kill the messenger,” while at the same time measures are being taken to end the abuses made known only through the patriotic whistleblowing of that same messenger, Edward Snowden.

The scene was the National Press Club on March 25; The Real News Network, as usual, has put together an excellent short package, based primarily on the reporting of a TRNN correspondent on the scene. (8 min.)
