Where are we now politically?

For the longest time, I've felt we've been going down the wrong road. I feel that the operation of the CIA has been central (ha) to the current political climate. Back when I was serving in the USAF in an AWACs related wing, I heard the story about a missionary flying his personal plane up from deep in South America. Having not filed a proper flight plan due to poor communication and transport infrastructure from his originating location for the return flight, he was tracked by CIA's version of AWACs over Brazil. Suspecting drug shipment, they vectored Brazilian fighters toward the plane. Somehow, AF AWACs had some sort of information on this guy and informed CIA's plane not to give the shoot-down go-ahead. (Disclaimer - this is what I heard - I am not overtly familiar with the chain of command for Brazilian airspace, nor 100% sure of the authenticity of this information) The CIA's people cursed us out and gave the go ahead. The missionary, his wife, and unborn daughter all died in the plane crash.

Now, in the last administration, we have someone with a long history of family in the organization using those connections. We have found that the underpinnings of the CIA are something that has dishonored and continues to dishonor our country.

How?
1. Operating unseen from the public eye, they kept prisons in other countries. There, they brought kidnapped people whom a small cadre of individuals had targeted.
The range of options available to them for dealing with these individuals not only included these prisons, but also secure areas within Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as extradition to other partners such as Egypt, Syria, and Uzbekistan, among others.
These individuals had no humanitarian oversight. After they were finished with them, they would either extradite or dump them in the POW camps.
2. Having someone who grew up in the culture in the presidency naturally extends the responsibility of that culture to what happened during that term. This is a stretch, but I think it applies. My own examination of the motives of the presidency yields basically a supreme interest in oil. Whether this means that Bush went specifically after his own family's interests alone, or that we as a country are very close to not having enough fuel, I don't know.
The bottom line is that Bush used methods of expediency, logic that the ends justified the means, and complete non-transparency. All of which would have been learned from the culture of the CIA.
3. When the administration called on the CIA to implement a program of "enhanced interrogation", it had no problem. I know that I will be told that it wasn't the CIA, and that it actually came from the SERE program, but I don't think that is correct. The CIA didn't have to go to the SERE program, as they would have had those resources long before. It only takes a bit more digging. The SERE program was just part of the excuse. The CIA did demand CYA, which gives us our current abundance of proof and the not-so-plausible cover story.

Now, here is a list of questions I'm interested in knowing:
1. How many possible large scale internment camps were under construction during the Bush term, how many were completed, where are they, and how many people can each hold? What is the purported reasoning behind each?
2. Of the large scale wiretapping operations on American citizens we know about, how many are still in service? Which telecommunications companies do they operate out of (AT&T?), and what are their locations? Obama is not likely to get rid of that.
3. What is the current legal status of Habeus Corpus? Has it been dragged from the grave yet, or is it policy-wise, still dead? What other key tenants of the Bill of Rights have we lost, and what are the chances of reviving them?
4. What is the difference between current police methods and legal foundation when it comes to the arrest of people videotaping police officers performing their job?
5. When the towers went down, who got the insurance money, if any, when was the policy established and in what amounts, and what was the financial position of the holding company? The company that trained the pilots, what is the latest on the arrests and case concerning the last time its planes were used to smuggle drugs? Is it a CIA front company?

Do you see where this is going? This is the ground work needed to prove conspiracy. There is enough evidence to convict and hang senior members of the last administration up to at least the vice president.
That is all for now.
