Mini Protest at the CIA Sunday Morning

I saw this on the way home this morning. Not sure who organized it but looking at the small turnout they clearly could have done a much better job getting the word out.

They didn't waste any energy making signs either. Signs would have narrowed this to a group of moonbats. So I wonder if this was some sort of 'rogue' conservative group.

The funny thing is that the people who work inside the CIA are best able to know if torture works or not. Since they would have first-hand access to the results, I doubt any protest is going to rattle their conscience compared to what they have managed to prevent new attacks. Not all CIA victories are published, unlike their failures.

By the way, they are protesting at the location of a terrorist attack. I wonder how many of the protesters know that, or even care.

Mir Aimal Kansi was a Pakistani citizen who spent four years on the United States Department of Justice's FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list after he shot five people with an AK-47, killing two, in their cars as they were turning towards the entrance to US CIA headquarters on January 25, 1993. He was captured in Pakistan more than four years later and following a trial, was executed by lethal injection in the state of Virginia, United States in 2002.

On the morning of January 25, 1993, he drove his brown Datsun station wagon to the intersection and shot into several cars, killing two people (Frank Darling and Lansing H. Bennett) and injuring three others. He had the opportunity to kill two females but did not do so. Upon being asked why by the FBI, he said that it was because Islam forbade the killing of women.[Really??] After the shooting, he was surprised that he was still alive and returned to his vehicle and fled the scene. He returned to his apartment and went to a convenience store where he purchased an airline ticket through the owner, who also owned a travel agency, and boarded the flight to Pakistan shortly thereafter.

On February 9, 1993, The FBI named Kansi as the 435th fugitive to be added on their Top Ten Most Wanted List. [1] The State Department offered a $2 million reward and later increased the reward to $3.5 million. After four and a half years, he was captured. On June 15, 1997, Kansi travelled to the town of Dera Ghazi Khan in central Pakistan as part of a business venture to import Russian electronics into Pakistan. He was captured in an early morning raid led by the FBI and transported to Fairfax, Virginia to stand trial. Kansi suspected that he was set up by his business partners to obtain the reward money offered by the United States.

Although he pled not guilty at trial, he did not deny the acts. He was convicted and sentenced to death. He died by lethal injection in a Virginia state prison on November 14, 2002.

When his body arrived in Quetta, Pakistan, many of his hometown residents welcomed him like a hero. - Extracted from his Wikipedia Entry.

If the CIA uses torture, it is against people like Kansi. No matter, the US is not in the business of capturing people like this alive. It is too much trouble. Now they capture them dead.
