At a covert forward operating base run by the US Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) in the Pakistani port city of Karachi, members of an elite division of Blackwater are at the center of a secret program in which they plan targeted assassinations of suspected Taliban and Al Qaeda operatives, "snatch and grabs" of high-value targets and other sensitive action inside and outside Pakistan, an investigation by The Nation has found.
...
Blackwater's founder Erik Prince contradicted this statement in a recent interview, telling Vanity Fair that Blackwater works with US Special Forces in identifying targets and planning missions, citing an operation in Syria.
...
A former senior executive at Blackwater confirmed the military intelligence source's claim that the company is working in Pakistan for the CIA and JSOC, the premier counterterrorism and covert operations force within the military.
Your American tax dollars at work: funding illegal operations throughout the world!

The question becomes was this in place during Bush's term or is this something the current scumbag cooked up.
-
The source said that the program is so "compartmentalized" that senior figures within the Obama administration and the US military chain of command may not be aware of its existence.

Not to strap on my tin foil hat to tightly but I would assume an Op like this would have a plausible deniability cut out built into it for the upper echelons. Unless of course they've learned absolutely piss all from the previous times something like this has been uncovered.
-
I'm sort of at the point where I just assume this stuff is happening.

The covert JSOC program with Blackwater in Pakistan dates back to at least 2007, according to the military intelligence source.
Well, that was easy.

If there's one person they're going after and there's thirty-four people in the building, thirty-five people are going to die. That's the mentality." He added, "They're not accountable to anybody and they know that. It's an open secret, but what are you going to do, shut down JSOC?"
this is the part that I have a problem with.
-
The way this article refers to JSOC makes me cringe, but then, I actually know what an adminstrative organization is.
-
Is anyone seriously surprised by this? I wonder how many other "secret wars" we're funding at the moment.......
-

Amen.

Two to six in South America, one in the Phillipines, three in southeast Asia, and probably a couple in Eastern Europe.

You're forgetting about U.S. public schools. If they don't take away those dangerous pencils and scissors, those children might hurt themselves or mill about on a murderous rampage. And God forbid they should draw or say anything offensive...
...Because if we don't stop them, the terrorists win...
:wtf:

One plus one, plus two plus one....
I know what was meant (which isn't what was stated), but I still find the imagery hilarious.
-
I'm thoroughly unsurprised. :blah:
-
The only thing i will say to this is that it is an interesting feeling to know that if you die on this op, your body will never be identified. That your parents will never know what happened. That no one will know. Yet distasteful as it is, we do it. Because in the end, it probably saves lives on our side. It's war, and i don't two give shakes of a rat's ass about legal and illegal, so long as the objective is achieved. If this is what it takes to bring our boys home safely, then I am good with it. I may not like the idea, but then again we've all done things that we don't like. How many can say that while they may not have liked it, it saved lives.
Trust me, for every op like this that is uncovered, that are a hundred that aren't.
-
That's probably true in some regard, but it also brings up one of the classical moral dilemas often presented in the various modes of literature:
"How much sin must be committed to achive justice?"
Oh, and here's the kicker...
"And is my justice actually just?"
It really does make you think, how do we arrive at a state of mind that lets us justify defiling, maiming, and killing each other?
-
The problem with setups like this is that those 34 extra people who get killed to take out the 1 guy likely all have families, all of whom will now despise the US, some of whom will now turn to terrorism or become sympathetic to terrorist ideologies.
In the long run I'm not sure it saves lives. We face the threat we do today because of our own meddling in the past.

I'm gonna call bull**** on this. If this were true, Europe would be a crater and the rest of us would be speaking German. Everyone has to take responsibility for they're own actions. It's easy to say, "IT'S ALL THEY'RE FAULT!", when in fact the reason that most of these countries are **** holes is because the populace won't stand up and take responsibility for themselves. And when we try to give them the opportunity, they hate us for it.
IMO, I don't care any more. They want to rape, murder and kill each other over centuries old grieveances between to sultans who got drunk, fine. Just leave me and mine out of it.

Uh, no. He's talking about the CIA overthrowing dictators in the middle east to put their own dictators in.
-
Yep, that and us funding bin Laden against the Soviets.
We reap what we sow. Which is why our good actions overseas (shutting down the Nazis, helping out tsunami victims) have earned us endless goodwill and gratitude, and done far more for us than our clumsy attempts to turn things our way by force.
Seriously, let me pick that apart a little more:
We face the threat we do today because of our own meddling in the past.
I'm gonna call bull**** on this.
Funny, you then go on to agree with me.
If this were true, Europe would be a crater and the rest of us would be speaking German.
No? WWII happened because the Allies ****ed up the ending to WWI. We then had to face the consequences, and fortunately we handled them better the second time around: we helped rebuild Germany and Japan and made them our friends.
Everyone has to take responsibility for they're own actions.
Exactly what I'm arguing here: we are facing the consequences of our actions.
It's easy to say, "IT'S ALL THEY'RE FAULT!", when in fact the reason that most of these countries are **** holes is because the populace won't stand up and take responsibility for themselves.
What countries? Aren't all the 'freedom fighters' and rebels and terrorists standing up and taking responsibility for what happens to them?
Oh yeah, they are. They all scream about how they want the US to get the **** out. In fact the big grievance bin Laden always yelled about was the presence of US troops on 'Arab soil'. Trace his lineage back and the whole Islamist movement emerged as a reaction to the European domination of Arab land.
Which is not to say it's right - it's wrong and evil - but it means that we have to understand that acting the same way we did in the past will create further monsters like bin Laden.
IMO, I don't care any more. They want to rape, murder and kill each other over centuries old grieveances between to sultans who got drunk, fine. Just leave me and mine out of it.
They want to rape, murder, and kill YOU over what they see as something YOU did to them very recently. Which is why we end up having to kill them back. We just need to find much better ways to do it - ways that do not repeat the mistakes that created these very monsters in the first place.
Thus why killing 34 innocent people for every 1 bad guy we get is just going to get us more bad guys in the long run. If you read any AARs from Afghanistan you'd know that's how these guys recruit new hajjis.
It's no coincidence that the most successful units in Iraq and Afghanistan are the ones who stopped using heavy firepower to suppress targets and 'went native', working closely with natives they'd befriended. That's what SpecOps units have been doing and it's what almost worked for us in Vietnam too. History pays off, and if you bothered to talk to our soldiers abroad or read what I have to say, you'd know that.
We can't ignore what happens overseas, because if we **** up over there, it comes over here and bites us in the ass.
Not that you'll read or respond to any of this, but whatever.

No one brought up World War II, and it wasn't what we were talking about. How about a couple of examples from what we were talking about:
By upholding dictatorships in Egypt and Saudi Arabia for our own political and economic benefit, and unquestioningly supporting rapid expansion of Israeli settlements at the expense of innocent Arabs who did nothing wrong other than live in the wrong place, we outright guarantee whole generations of terrorists to hate us and the West.
We overthrew a democratically-elected government in Iran and installed the Shah, guaranteeing that after the 1979 Revolution, Iranians would despise us. Which in turn leads to us supplying Saddam's Iraq with weapons to use against the Iranians in the second-longest and one of the costliest conventional wars of the 20th century.
Our commitment to overthrow the Soviets in Afghanistan in the 80s by arming the mujahideen worked great militarily...until we completely abandoned the country and left it in shambles, allowing the Taliban to swiftly come into power and install an Islamic dictatorship in the power void.
So let me translate that for you: a man who we trained in guerrilla warfare and then told to screw off when he came to defend his homeland used the weapons we gave him during the war to execute devastating terrorist attacks against the US over the course of a decade, and took refuge in a country we left devastated after our proxy-war with Soviets. So we just spent the last eight years fighting a war we never should have fought, had we made half-intelligent decisions starting 20 years beforehand.
SHORT AND SIMPLE: Despite what Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh tell you, our meddling resulted in 9/11[/i]. We were stupid and disregarding of the long-term consequences of our actions in the Middle East, and innocent people paid the price for it.
But since you want to cherry-pick moments in American history to try to overshadow the times we ****ed up, that's fine too! Just ignore us doing anything wrong! We shouldn't have to fix it or anything!
IMO, I don't care any more.
Then for the love of Christ, stop with the goddamn drive-by posting and trolling!

+1 for all that. And it doesn't mean that the terrorists aren't evil and whatnot - so don't you dare construe it as saying that, Liberator, nobody is arguing that they're justified - it just means we also need to be aware of the consequences of our own power. Great responsibility and all that.
And let me just quote this for great justice to make sure it gets read:

This is completely true. It does not mean the suicide terrorists who attacked us on our own soil are not horrible people. It just means we had a hand in creating and enabling them.
We've got to play it smart.

Actually we had dollars in creating them, the hand was most likely Inter-Services Intelligence. Pakistan's Military Intelligence was the direct interface between US and Saudi funding and the war in Afghanistan, we were actually pretty hands off so far as how the money was spent (which is what really bit us in the ass). When some suicide bomber in Afghanistan says he was trained in a madarasa in Pakistani border region it was probably built with US tax dollars in the 1980s. If you're really interested in the events of the 1980s Afghan war leading up to September 11th Ghost Wars by Steve Coll was an fascinating read.
In any case the tunnel vision we had in our attempts to contain Communism literally makes you want to face palm in retrospect.
-
Yeah. We built our next enemy in our attempt to handle the last one. I don't want to see a repeat of that, thus my comment on why trading 34 innocent lives for 1 bad guy is a poor ratio since it generates new bad guys.

Too late.

Every god damned post. Every time you should put 'their' you put this instead.
I understand people make typos and the occasional grammar frak-up. I understand there's slang and the generally laid back nature of internet communication, but can you really expect to be taken seriously if you can't handle even the most basic grammar of your native tongue?
-

With all due respect, lots of people die in Afghanistan and Pakistan every day, and the US didn't kill them. We simply get blamed anyways. Not every 34 innocent people are our fault. Not even most.
We will simply be blamed because it's convenient. No, we don't really create our own next enemies. They create themselves by using us as a rallying cry.
-
Actually that's not true in the case of the current set.
Islamic terrorists tend to be isolationists. They don't particularly care about the outside world except when it interferes with their country. While these people would probably be terrorists without the influence of the West they would be domestic terrorists. They wouldn't give a damn about the US or anything outside the borders of the Muslim world if they weren't bothered by the West.
I'll admit that they do use hatred of the West as a rallying cry but it is incredibly unlikely that they'd be bothering to attack Western targets if they were left alone. They'd have far too much to do attacking targets in their own countries to bother with the West.

Which is why we had the terrorists who went by Islamic Jihad in the early '70s, yes? It's not that simple. They have been told for generations that the West in general and US in particular is responsible for their problems, long before the invasion of Iraq, First Gulf, even Operation Preying Mantis and Operation Earnest Will in the late '70s and early '80s as the first real US interventions in the region. The US inherited the legacy of their hate for the British Empire and France by being the obvious pointman for the Western world with Preying Mantis, but we did not build the people or the organizations that came before the Taliban or Al Queda, the things that made them possible. They built themselves. We just happen to be the enemy du jour.

What about Operation Ajax?

Didn't catch attention the way wiping out the Iranian Navy and Air Force did.
-

We don't just happen to be the enemy, we are doing things to remind them that we should be considered the enemy.
You've basically named a whole long list of the constant reminders we've given them. There's a reason why they continue to bother the UK but don't bother France as much despite France having a larger Muslim population.
Arguing that we just happen to be the enemy sounds too much like the Bush administrations "They hate our freedom" bollocks for my liking. It's way too close to giving the West a free pass on why they're the targets of so much aggression.
-
And why do we keep giving them reminders? They keep giving us reasons to remind them. For the US, it begins with Iran declaring open season on tanker traffic in the late '70s, an outcome that nobody in the world could stand but only the USN and RN had the means to actually do something about. We are the enemy du jour. That's not a statement that absolves anyone of anything. You say it reads like a list of reasons. It was a list of reasons. But they're crappy reasons. They usually are when it comes to armed conflict. Until very recently, however, they weren't crappy reasons in every direction.
-
If that's when it begun then the US started it by toppling the government of Iran to install the Shah then.

Eventually the blame game leads to Godwinning.

This sounds like a conspiracy theory. You could go ahead and explain how Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Hungary or Romania are in any ways anything like this. This sounds just complete bull****.
US secret wars in EU countries to keep away KGB thugs and terrorists, Jesus Christ. This just made my day.

See, I don't care what it sounds like. I care what it is. And KGB? I did mention local equivalents. You have heard of the Stasi, right? They weren't exactly unique.
You also forget soviet-sponsored state terrorism too easily. The world is full of not-nice people. They're everywhere. We can only reach them in places that like us, though.

Just provide proof, will you. I mean, 2009, Soviet terrorism, Stasi, US secret wars in EU countries, local equivalent of KGB in Eastern Europe... This is just too rich, I can't wait to see how you prove this :D
Also, extraordinary claims etc.

*cough* You want proof? Who ran the Russian mob? The claim is not extraordinary. The claim is that this is where the vunerabilities are, for both sides to exploit if they want into or out of Europe with guns/bombs/whatever and ease.
These things are by nature designed to be impossible to prove. The point here is not that they're waging a war on those countries or even that the targets are in those countries; it's that they're in those countries because that's where the vunerablities are.
Your claim on the other hand is that everyone who ever used to work in intelligence or internal security in that area under the Old Regime ****ed off to never-never land.

My fiery hatred for that Saganism outshines a thousand suns.

Which sides?
Your original claim was that US was running a secret war in Eastern Europe, right? The post was positively comparing these with the acts Blackwater do with Eastern Europe. This is quite different from standard intelligence operations or defending national interests abroad, unless you are willing to completely mangle the term.
I'd just love to see where in current Eastern Europe US and... someone else are engaged in this kind of hidden conflict.
These things are by nature designed to be impossible to prove.
Then how and why do you believe it and what do you base your beliefs on? You should right now have even circumstancial evidence and a framework to explain it.
The point here is not that they're waging a war on those countries or even that the targets are in those countries; it's that they're in those countries because that's where the vunerablities are.
Perhaps, but that's intelligence, not what the word secret war referred to. Maybe I misunderstood you.
Your claim on the other hand is that everyone who ever used to work in intelligence or internal security in that area under the Old Regime ****ed off to never-never land.
I did not claim so. Read the quote again.
I find it interesting that you refer to Cold war boogiemen without explicitly even naming a country. Then you cannot give any kind of sources at all. Your statement is de facto following:
US-sponsored organization is secretly operating in Afghanistan. Similar acts happen in many places, including Eastern Europe.
Where, how and when?
-
Then what is your claim? I do not refer to Cold War boogiemen; you should know better than that. I refer to the reality that which was built up a huge infrastructure in this area for the purpose, and though that which was is gone, it didn't take everything with it. You go where the targets are, and the targets will go here. They have to. Evidence is there; circumstantial, but if this is the best way of doing something, why assume it's not being done?
Or is your thesis now that everyone involved is incompetent?

No, because I only initially questioned your claim because it sounded weird and to be honest had the makings of a good ol' conspiracy theory. But since you fail to support your statement with any kinds of facts - and actually fail to even name a single country - I do not think a reversal of burden of proof is really necessary here. I don't have to make a statement to question the validity of your statement.
And by the way, if you don't refer to Cold War boogiemen then why would you talk about KGB and Stasi?
-
Why, indeed? They built up infrastructure for terrorists, they trained people, they did all sorts of things. They're gone now. So is most of the infrastructure. The people...not really. They still have the knowledge locked in their heads that could be of great use to the West, or anyone else. And even those who weren't specifically involved in that, they're out of work now. They need a way to make money. It's a buyer's market for learning the Secret Art of Not Being Seen and has been since the Soviet Union fell. You can learn much from such people, and they make good employees. Both ways.
