‘Shame’ on visiting CIA director

During the recent visit of CIA director John Brennan to his father’s home area in the West of Ireland, people were advised that, as the visit was in a private capacity, no reference should be made/questions put in relation to his role as CIA director.

However, when interviewed by RTÉ, Mr Brennan immediately took the opportunity to publicly thank “all the excellent men and women of the CIA”.

Typical of the double standards of the CIA and the administration Mr Brennan represents, who murder unarmed men, women, and children, and kidnap, torture, and detain individuals in violation of the Charter of Human Rights and the Geneva Convention.

I have personally witnessed the devastation caused by US actions in Iraq, and Afghanistan in particular, and the terror such actions inflicted on civilian population.

Shame on you, Mr Brennan, and what you represent.
