3/31:Ex-CNN Reporter: I Received Orders to Manipulate News to Demonize Syria and Iran (CLG News) Citizens for Legitimate Government 31 Mar 2013 _http://www.legitgov.org/_ (http://www.legitgov.org/)
_Ex-CNN Reporter: I Received Orders to Manipulate News to Demonize Syria and Iran_ (http://sana.sy/eng/22/2013/03/30/475112.htm) [Apparently, MSNBC and Faux got the same orders.] 30 Mar 2013 Ex-CNN reporter Amber Lyon revealed that during her work for the channel she received orders to send false news and exclude some others which the US administration did not favor with the aim to create a public opinion in favor of launching an aggression on Iran and Syria. Lyon was quoted by the Slovak main news website as saying that the mainstream US media outlets intentionally work to create a propaganda against Iran to garner public opinion's support for a military invasion against it. She revealed that the scenario used before launching the war on Iraq is being prepared to be repeated where Iran and Syria are now being subject to constant 'demonization'. Obama picks oh-but-another Bush-era war criminal to hold high office while the compliant Penta-Post keeps secrets for its CIA overlords: _Washington Post Agreed to Withhold Acting Clandestine Service Chief's Name at CIA's Request_ (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/27/washington-post-cia_n_2964449.html) 27 Mar 2013 The Washington Post _revealed_ (http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/cia-director-faces-a-quandary-over-clandestin e-service-appointment/2013/03/26/5d93cb10-9645-11e2-9e23-09dce87f75a1_story. html) Wednesday in a front-page story that a woman currently running the clandestine service had signed off on a controversial 2005 decision to "_destroy videotapes of prisoners_ (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/07/washington/07intel.html) being subjected to treatment critics have called torture." The woman, the first to hold the position in the agency's history, replaced John Bennett last month on an acting basis. Bennett's name _wasn't kept secret_ (http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/blogs/declassified/2010/07/21/from-islamabad-station-chief-to-new-cia-spymaster.html) when he was promoted to chief in July 2010. But the Washington Post didn't identify the woman, noting that the high-ranking official "remains undercover and cannot be named." While the acting clandestine service chief has not been named, her chances of being appointed on a permanent basis under new CIA director John Brennan could be in jeopardy, given the Washington Post _report_ (http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/cia-director-faces-a-quandary-over -clandestine-service-appointment/2013/03/26/5d93cb10-9645-11e2-9e23-09dce87f 75a1_story.html) of her role in the tapes' destruction. _Officer who oversaw destruction of CIA torture evidence might get major promotion_ (http://rt.com/usa/cia-torture-clandestine-brennan-939/) 27 Mar 2013 The woman who signed off on the destruction of evidence proving the CIA's implementation of torture has been promoted within the agency. The undercover officer is now in charge of the CIA's clandestine service -- at least, temporarily. After former National Clandestine Service Director John Bennett retired on Feb. 28, the new official took over as the acting director and is widely viewed as a frontrunner for the position. The officer's past makes her a controversial choice. In 2005, she oversaw the destruction of more than 90 videotapes showing the harsh interrogation methods the CIA used against suspected terrorists. ============================================================================ == Peace NO War Network_ http://www.PeaceNOWar.net_ (http://www.peacenowar.net/) War is not the answer, for only love can conquer hate Not in our Name!
