FILE - This March 20, 2001 file photo, shows President George W. Bush, right, and George J. Tenet, left, director of the Central Intelligence Agency, stop to pose standing the CIA seal in the main entrance of agency headquarters in Langley, Va. The President made a visit to greet CIA employees and thank them for their service to their country and spoke of the importance of intelligence collection and analysis. A secret intelligence program canceled by CIA Director Leon Panetta in June was meant to find and then capture or kill al-Qaida leaders at close range rather than target them with air strikes that risked civilian casualties, government officials with knowledge of the operation said Monday, July 13, 2009.
(Pablo Martinez Monsivais/AP Photo)As CIA director in 2004, George Tenet terminated a secret program to develop hit teams to kill al-Qaida leaders, but his successors resurrected the plan, according to former intelligence officials.

Tenet ended the program because the agency could not work out its practical details, the officials told The Associated Press. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the classified program.

Porter Goss, who replaced Tenet in 2005, restarted the program, the former officials said. By the time Michael Hayden succeeded Goss as CIA chief in 2006 the effort was again flagging because of practical challenges

.....trouble is, his personal "collection" never amounted to much, .....the "shrub" :pound:

[mojo]

not surprising.
cia have been involved in assasinations since ...well since before they were the cia.
from the transition from oss to cia, they had some pretty good teachers too when the transition took place, lots of nazi war criminals introduced into the ranks of the cia through reinhard gehlen and allen dulles.
whats surprising is that they are nowhere near as good at it now as they used to be.

I have to laugh that this is news, it's been going on for a lot longer than they are portraying here in this news story.

"Black bag", "black box", and "black programs" are the staple of the Christians In Action's existence.

Rendition alone is itself a major operation that has been going on for so long it's not even funny.

The difference is only the change of name of the particular type of operation, based on the person sitting in the White House.

They change the name to suit that person, to try to make it look like a new type of operational theater.

It's called re-selling an old product in a new package.

Thats the way it will alway's be Gimmicks,slogans,if it sounds good,looks good we'll use it,just to grab our attention,the stupid thing is,its old hat,But the fooker alway's works, are we robot's, or are we robot's. we might as well be dead-Bots.

[Hagakure]

Yep, gimmicks, re-selling, and re-branding.

Hey, it works for the food industry, the car industry, and big business, so why not the Government?

Personally, I prefer reading on samurai and ninja's, since they know how to really fight the fight.

Now, ninja's, there's the black art of death dealing.

Samurai, are honorable, and stand against those who would slay their masters.

As far I am concerned, the C.I.A. has nothing on any ninja clans of Ancient Japan, or even the current practice of the black art of stealth still practiced in Asia.

Check out the Hashshashin.
