Well, I mean, the “C” in CIA does stand for “cocaine,” after all.

Oh you mean the last time the Republicans were okay with arming the Iranians?
I dunno, I think this study is full of shit.
For threats to democracy, sure. For state-sponsored acts of what amounts to terrorism (what else do we call tampering with free elections?), absolutely.
I am seriously complaining about journalistic bias on Jezebel and I am on drugs. Why choose only one?
“Murder” just doesn’t have the same ring as “assassination”.
I wish we could ship those fuckers over to Russia. I’m sure they’ll love it.
*looks around furtively* yeah, slippery slopes and all, but I’d have no problem with a little wet work getting done on Assange. Sometimes, you gotta just shoot a motherfucker in the face to get shit done. Well, sometimes, you need to set things up to look like a dumb accident so he doesn’t become a martyr. “Julian…

Next we’re gonna learn that the UK and America’s intelligence work together!
Exactly. I hate all the people (all idiot libertarian man-boys, really) who so, so willingly excuse those charges (multiple) because of course it’s all a ploy and women lie about rape, don’t you know! And even if he did, the work he’s doing is so, so important so who really cares?
Old joke: How do you know the CIA didn’t kill JFK? A: He’s dead, isn’t he?
MERKEL: We have worked very closely together, for example, in Afghanistan. We’re continuing to do so. I’m very pleased that this military engagement, together with a political road map that we’ve developed, we were able to continue. We want to bring about a political solution there.
Bonus points if they arrange it such that the President journeys to the country Assange is in and then Assange died shortly thereafter of radiation poisoning.
Wikileaks claims that the documents show “close collaboration” between the NSA and the BND, Germany’s foreign intelligence agency, a revelation that is not entirely new.
