[Vision2020] Beheading, Hooding, and Waterboarding

Greetings: 
 
My main source for the Phoenix Program was directly from one of the men who 
created it: Nelson Brickman.  One can google "Phoenix Program" and find original 
documents as well as commentaries.  This material has been known for a long time 
and cannot be disputed. 
 
William Colby was lying when he said that Phoenix was purely a South Vietnamese 
program, just as Negroponte would be fibbing if he said that Latin American 
governments tortured and killed all it on their own.  We trained them at the 
School of the Americas, for God's sake! 
 
It's terribly embarrassing for former CIA officers to speak up about our 
outrageous misadventures, which has done more to damage U. S. credibility than 
any enemy propaganda can do.  We lose our souls when we act like our enemies. 
 
Since when was "The Army Times" a hate magazine?!!  Thanks to Tom's postings, we 
have a good way of checking the "leftist" press against a patriotic journal.  
 
Visionaries should have remembered my description of "The New Republic" some 
time ago: supported the Contras, supported the war in Iraq (now regrets it), and 
once had Fred Barnes as its senior editor.  It was been rated by members of 
Congress as the most objective US journal.
