We read about Iran apparently arming shia militia in Iraq to fight the U.S

BUT

Did you know the U.S is arming/funding/helping groups to kill Iranian soldiers and civilians???

Yet again america makes one rule for themselves, and one for others, the hypocrisy of America doesn't surprise me anymore.

Wow, you very neatly dodged responding to the issue Parker. Obvious, but neat.

And you notice how the pot and the kettle are at fault in your cartoon?

OP: I'd honestly wonder how far this is the CIA acting on their own. The US government doesn't strike me as having a whole lot of control over the CIA.

And they supported anti-Castro rebels during the Cuban Missile Crisis era. It's not something that is new.

You clearly do not understand the American government ... the activity of the CIA, DIA, NSA, etc are all under the control of the administration. Granted, the administration may not know every detail, but they direct the broad policy.

Certainly, but the CIA is in the business of keeping secrets, and I suspect they're not exactly kept on a tight leash. I wouldn't be surprised to learn of a Hoover-like situation (he was the one who had dirt files on all the politicians, wasn't he? And yes, I know he was FBI).

It's a payback. Something like You help to kill our soldiers in Iraq, we help to kill yours. Nothing new here.

<---- Notice where I'm from?

In the past, I have worked in those dark & secret areas ... trust me ... the leash is VERY, VERY tight. (But, there is always a broken link or two somewhere up the chain of command that provides a "plausible deniability" for political ass preservation.)

Parker: All you've demonstrated is that there is some oversight, which is exactly what Orangehound did. If you can't understand my response even when I highlight the important part, that's hardly my problem.

Orangehound: I tend not to trust intelligence agencies at all, nor do I believe they can both perform effectively and be policed effectively (though apparently the Australian ones can do neither 0.

They are effectively policed, at least in the US ... they are not as "cowboy" as some would imagine. That stereotype is from the 1960s/1970s. Today's intelligence agencies are highly political with much control.

Now, you may not like what they do or how they do it, but their activities are well-regulated.

BTW, I don't work in this stuff anymore for ethical/moral reasons (if that is a hint).

i know, you have many different "problems" to deal with......like finding some new heroes that blow up children, right buddy?

anyway, did you post this?

cause if you did, i responded to it.
in fact, two people responded, but you "dont trust intelligence agencies", so really, ANYTHING that gets said isnt going to matter, cause bubbles here has already made his mind up.

well, why would you even wonder buddy?
you obviously already know the answers

now, if you cant understand that........

Where is the source in the telegraph article? Just a former CIA agent (Fred Burton) speculating over a year ago because it "falls in-line"?

But how do they manage it? How can you effectively review top secret papers, whilst keeping them top secret?

Hey Parker, you notice how were having an adult, back and forth discussion without being condescending or insulting each other? Maybe you should try it sometime.

Plus the Intelligence Agencies are broken down into fields and areas of expertise, like counter-terrorism. And as each of these cells operate individually and as a whole they are also working together with other intelligence agencies. Some will promote and share obtained information and share resources, while others will seem to co-operate yet send out deliberately false information when they choose.

You might not trust them but if one agency is reporting WMD then you can bet the other agencies are either validating or countering the claims, as was the case with Iraq.

The blotter lacks sources as well.

It's not the reporting I distrust. It's the possibilities for supplying groups without checking, or leaking information for their own gain (as ASIO has done in the past).

How have you proven anything? You've provided a Wikipedia source for a body who are supposed to look in on the CIA, and you've accused me of ignoring people because I'm so stubborn. The efficacy of oversight is exactly what the discussion is about, the second claim is demonstrably wrong.
