13-12-22 PAKISTAN: Three (3) CIA CHiefs outed in three (3) years

Corporate media keeps US citizens in the dark: Pakistan Outs Three US CIA Station Chiefs in Three Years

Pak Opposition leader Imran Khan has blown the CIA's cover ( by ThisCantBeHappening!)
For the third time in three years, a CIA station chief has been outed in Pakistan, a country where the CIA is running one of its largest covert operations. It's a remarkable record of failure by the CIA, since each outing, which has required a replacement of the station chief position, causes a breakdown in the agency's network of contacts in the country.
The full names of all three station chiefs have been published widely in Pakistan and India and all over the world via the Internet--though Americans getting their news exclusively from domestic mainstream media wouldn't know, as those organizations have consistently blacked out the names.
The latest outing was the work of a major political organization, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party (PTI) and its founder, cricket star Imran Khan, who has been calling for an end to US drone strikes inside his country. Khan's party came in second in Pakistan's recent parliamentary election. 
The PTI, angry that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has not demanded a halt to the US "targeted killing" of Pakistanis, filed a public complaint with police in late November.  
Outed: Craig Osth:
That complaint, called a "nomination letter," identified as the alleged CIA station chief Craig Peters Osth, and said he was residing and working--illegally, if actually working as a spy and not a diplomat --in the US Embassy. 
In the complaint, the PTI accused Osth of being responsible for a deadly November 21 drone strike inside Khan's home district, which is outside the Pashtun tribal area to which such attacks have normally vbeen confined. The letter also called for the arrest of CIA Director John Brennan, accusing him of "waging war against Pakistan." 
US drone strikes are hugely unpopular in Pakistan, as they are seen as violating Pakistan's sovereignty and and because they have killed a large number of civilians, including women and many children.
The CIA has refused to confirm or deny Osth's role in the Agency, or even if he is on itsd payroll. But in this case the CIA's standard stonewalling rings especially hollow: this is not Osth's first outing. 
In 1999 he was identified as the CIA's station chief in Brazil by a Brazilian magazine, Carta Capital. At the time, the issue was the CIA's reported bugging of the private telephone of Brazil's then-president Fernando Henrique Cardoso.  
Osth has turned up elsewhere too. A classified US State Department cable, published by WikiLeaks in 2011, lists him as being present at a high-level meeting in the US Embassy in Bogota, Colombia, in 2005. The meeting, which included Osth, the US ambassador, and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, suggesting at least that Osth would have been the top CIA official in the country, concerned tactics to use against rebels of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), and US military support for the government's war against that organization. Osth is listed in the cable as being with the ORA, the acronym for a shadowy "Office of Regional Affairs"--technically an office of the State Department, but known to function as a CIA cover.
Outed: Jonathan Banks
In 2010, another alleged CIA station chief in Pakistan, Jonathan Banks, was outed by anti-drone campaign activists, and was forced to leave the country. One reason for his hasty departure was that he reportedly began receiving death threats from militants after his name surfaced.

In 2010, another alleged CIA station chief in Pakistan, Jonathan Banks, was outed by anti-drone campaign activists, and was forced to leave the country. One reason for his hasty departure was that he reportedly began receiving death threats from militants after his name surfaced.
Why has Pakistan yanked the covers off three alleged CIA station chiefs in so many years?  Is it in response to the US extra-legal drone killing program and what it views as other overzealous covert activities inside Pakistan? 
In the murky arena of spy-vs.-spy, it's hard to establish anything definitively, and in Pakistan, things can be even more murky. Some elements of the Pakistani government and military establishment seem to back US actions in the country, perhaps wanting the US military and economic aid offered in return for granting access to the CIA and turning a blind eye to the drone attacks. But for whatever reason, it seems that Pakistan's powerful ISI is fighting back against American incursions on Pakistani soil by disrupting the US intelligence apparatus there.
News Blackout in America 
Whatever the domestic and international politics it is transparently evident that there is widespread Pakistani frustration and anger over the CIA's in-country operation -- at least to everyone but Americans. 
US media organizations, from the New York Times, the Washington Post and the Associated Press to CNN and the major broadcast networks, have refrained from mentioning the names of the outed station chiefs, leaving that kind of journalism to the likes of FireDogLake, the media review Extra! and TCBH! Such reticence seems curious, indeed. Both the Times and the Pos t, after all, had no hesitation about publishing the name of Valerie Plame, a CIA agent outed in 2003 by Vice President Dick Cheney and his deputy I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, in retaliation for her husband's efforts to block President Bush's plan to invade Iraq. And her outing reportedly led to the exposure of many of her contacts, particularly in the Middle East, where they were undoubtedly put at great risk.
If the goal in the Pakistani agent outings was to protect the agents' safety, the implication would have to be that the US media are not afraid of what foreigners would do, but instead what American citizens might do--since Americans are the only ones who are being kept in the dark about who these people are. 
One explanation for corporate journalism's timidity might be the Espionage Act and the Intelligence Identities Protection Act, which make publication of classified documents or the identity of an undercover CIA agent a felony. After all, the Times and Post knew the Bush/Cheney administration wasn't going to go after them for publicly identifying Plame as a CIA agent. The Bush administration, clearly, wanted her outed. But could they be sure the Obama administration would not use these repressive acts against them for publishing Osth's name -- even though it was already widely known? Given the Obama administration's obsession with secrecy, and its prosecutorial zeal in going after security leaks, as absurd as it sounds, anything is possible.
Osth's name is no longer a secret; not only did the Pakistani party put it up on the Internet, it's been reported by numerous regional news outlets (e.g., The Hindu--11/27/13--an Indian paper that boasts a daily circulation of 1.5 million). What's more, Osth was publicly identified as a leading CIA officer years ago...
He adds that keeping the name out of news reports in the US 
doesn't make anyone any safer. But it does help bolster the cult of secrecy, which holds that information is to be kept from the citizenry on general principle
Of course, Naureckas himself was at that point making sure Osth's name was out in the US too.

Livleak.com obviously is NOT a legitimate leaking site. The information is manipulated, particularly to the benefit of Israeli interests. 
Therefore, the most interesting items on Liveleak.com are the ones that were designated to the "0 views" category: 
* 2 items on incompetence of the Israeli Supreme Court, where Sarah Lifschitz, who falsely appeared for over 10 years as "Chief Clerk" with no legal authority, resigned on October 31, 2013, following the filing of fraud complaints with Israel Police against "Chief Clerk" Sarah Lifschitz and Presiding Justice Asher Grunis.
* 1 item on infiltration of the Israeli Social Protest movement with law enforcement agents.Former police officers, special units, who were also convicted on violent crimes and spent time in prison threaten and impose themselves on the Occupy Tel-Aviv camp, with full knowledge and cooperation of the Tel Aviv Municipality. According to knowledgeable sources, one of them is a convicted murderer.
Haaretz daily reported this year on continuing efforts of the Israeli judges to remove from social networks information and discussions, pertaining to judicial corruption in Israel. 
Media also reported that Bibi's office now has Trolls on the payroll...
