Ex-CIA Officer Charged With Sexual Assault

TPM:

The CIA's former station chief in Algeria has been indicted on sexual assault charges, the Washington Post reports.

Andrew Warren, who was the CIA's top officer in the North African country, was charged with drugging and assaulting a Muslim woman in his official residence in February 2008. The charge carries a maximum sentence of life in prison.

Warren had been sent back to America when the investigation was announced in January. At the time, the Justice Department was looking into assault allegations from two women. When they investigated his home, they found tapes of him engaged in sex acts, one with an apparently semi-conscious woman. The CIA says he has been fired.

Warren has said sex with both women was consensual.

And the numerous complaints from detainees who said they were raped? Now we see what really is going on. Many detainees who were men/woman/children had reported they were raped and tortured by the US as Bush said that never happen well looks like that was another lie.
