So, if my company trains my boss and he trains me in the capacity of being my boss, my company hasn't trained me? Right - this is some sort of weirdly, plausibly deniable, parallel universe you live in. For those of us in the reality zone, this is exactly what being trained by our (or THE) company looks like!! Sanctioned, funded, CIA-sponsored OJT is training by the CIA. No, you don't have to be in Reston, VA. msnbc.com .. As his unclassified CIA biography states, bin Laden left Saudi Arabia to fight the Soviet army in Afghanistan after Moscow’s invasion in 1979. By 1984, he was running a front organization known as Maktab al-Khidamar - the MAK - which funneled money, arms and fighters from the outside world into the Afghan war. What the CIA bio conveniently fails to specify (in its unclassified form, at least) is that the MAK was nurtured by Pakistan’s state security services, the Inter-Services Intelligence agency, or ISI, the CIA’s primary conduit for conducting the covert war against Moscow’s occupation.

Excuse me, but since you are an attorney I am assuming you are very intelligent and can argue fairly well. So I am disappointed that you have misquoted me. I said Osama bin Laden was a CIA operative. You just stated that I said he was "CIA TRAINED . . . that in fact is not correct." If you will reread my post you will see that I did not say that OBL was CIA trained, so your statement that it is incorrect is totally irrelevant. I have no idea where you are going with such inane hair splitting. He may or may not be CIA trained, but he was definitely a CIA operative (like Saddam Hussein and a whole bunch of big bad guys who turned against us). I must wonder at this juncture . . . what is your point? Are you so ill-informed that you have no idea what actually goes on in this country, or what? You keep talking about Denial . . . not a river in Egypt. I think you might have stayed in the water a little too long . . . could you please clarify your position? (if you feel like it, of course)
