There may yet be a huge blowout between the CIA and the Pentagon.The Pentagon has created a new spying agency that has already been operating secretly in Iraq and Afghanistan for two years, The Washington Post has reported.
The unit, called the Strategic Support Branch, has also been in operation in other places sources would not disclose, the newspaper said on Sunday, citing documents and interviews with participants.
An early planning memorandum to Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld from the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Richard Myers, said the focus of the initiative was on "emerging target countries such as Somalia, Yemen, Indonesia, Philippines and Georgia," according to the paper.
The secret spying organisation is designed to provide Rumsfeld with tools to conduct so-called human intelligence tasks, such as interrogation of prisoners and recruitment of foreign spies.

And wasn't it that Office of Special Plans that Rumsfiend originally set up to give him information after 9/11 that came up with so much false intelligence? But, hey, it worked to get us into Iraq, so why not have one to get us into other "emerging target countries"? Such as Somalia, Yemen, Indonesia, Philippines and Georgia.
How's Poppy going to whitewash this to the world?
Wait! There's more....
The stench from the rot in this administration will suffocate the entire world.Recruited agents may include "notorious figures" whose association with the US government would be embarrassing if revealed, the paper said, citing a Pentagon memo.
