CIA Torture Advocate John Rizzo Says Obama Must Deal With Interrogation Program ‘Immediately’ Matt Corley thinkprogress.org Nov 7th, 2008 At the American Bar Association’s conference on national security yesterday, CIA senior deputy general counsel John Rizzo recommended that President-elect Barack Obama “address immediately detainee issues at Guantanamo Bay and in the CIA’s interrogation program.” Rizzo said that the agency’s interrogation and detainee program needs “urgent” attention: The CIA detention and interrogation program, he said, is just as urgent. “That’s going to have to be dealt with immediately,” Rizzo said. “We do not have the luxury to wait and muddle through.” He knows how tough the issue is–his involvement in helping the CIA construct the program earned him opposition in Congress that killed his nomination to be the CIA’s general counsel. The Wall Street Journal’s Siobhan Gorman did not report whether Rizzo said anything specific about how the program needs to be “dealt” with. This information would be important since, as Gorman notes, Rizzo controversially helped construct the program that pushed the boundaries of torture. In 2002, while serving as an acting general counsel, Rizzo approved of a memo drafted by then-Assistant Attorney General Jay Bybee that stretched the definition of torture in order to make it permissible for use in the course of an interrogation. Asked at a June 2007 confirmation hearing if he “should have objected at the time” to Bybee’s definition of torture, Rizzo replied, “I can’t say I should have objected at the time.” Watch it: Rizzo’s nomination was withdrawn by the White House in Sept. 2007 after key senators and human rights and advocacy groups protested his stubborn “>refusal to renounce his role in crafting the Bush administration’s torture policies. http://thinkprogress.org/2008/11/07/rizzo-obama-interrogation/ All victims, Please also write to Rizzo to urge the expose and stop mind control abuse and torture. And demand an immediate investitation.

Monika: It is never hopeless. Hopelessness is a choice. What I am saying is that it is important not to defeat oneself at the outset by looking where hope does not reside. There is a lot on self-deprogramming. Do a google search. Also there are resources in the community. You just have to know whom to trust and whom not to trust.

By the way, I have a very dear friend in Bruxelles. I could have him contact you.

Wake up and smell the coffee. These people don't care what you want or what you don't want from them. They will do as they please. Do a little research. Your new president is one of them. He's just the change-up pitch. Most all of your mind-control sites are run by intel personnel posing as TI's. After all--what better way to keep an eye on the victims?

Look, I don't mean to be harsh, but these are the realities. I know these people. What's needed is a saviour in human form; and let's face it, when was the last time that happened--if it happened?

When have you ever seen any results from begging them through the pains, phone or in person?
