The intelligence community is in the crosshairs of a storm of allegations including abduction, unlawful imprisonment, torture and contracted assassination.  Former CIA director Porter Goss likened the situation to a hurricane approaching Washington D.C.

"In September, you are going to have a hurricane coming through Washington that is aimed right at the intelligence community," warned Porter J. Goss, the CIA's director from September 2004 to May 2006. He noted that a Justice Department inquiry is also pending into whether laws were broken when CIA officers destroyed videotapes of the harsh interrogations.

...Goss said he had not been fully briefed on the details of the CIA activities in question, many of which are classified, so he could not confirm the reported involvement of Blackwater, now known as Xe Services LLC.  A spokeswoman for the firm did not return a phone call Thursday, but two former intelligence officers familiar with the effort said the company had received millions of dollars for helping train and equip teams to undertake the killings.

...A former intelligence official familiar with the effort said the decision to outsource a substantial portion of the program stemmed partly from the agency's close ties to Blackwater, which hired several of the agency's top executives, including former CIA counterterrorism chief Cofer Black and former deputy director for operations Robert Richer.

According to retired Army Colonel Larry Wilkerson, "it's clear that the CIA's actions were illegal" and "the agency's skirts are not covered with glory." 

As new details come out regarding the CIA's interrogation program, a former Guantanamo detainee alleges that the military was abducting and detaining people based not on evidence of a crime but on a racial and religious profile.

As a CIA report is expected to reveal details of interrogation techniques at Guantanamo Bay, RT spoke to Moazzam Begg who spent two years at the camp and was released without charges ever being brought against him.

Before been sent to Guantanamo, Begg spent a year in several U.S. detention facilities in Afghanistan. He says that "the U.S. military machine was capable of detaining people to neutralize them that was the term they used, `you are neutralized, we know that you have not committed a crime but you fit a profile and that profile enables us to carry out this neutralization."

"British intelligence also questioned me and said `there is nothing we can do to help you' and `you need to co-operate with the U.S." he added.

While in Guantanamo prison he was interrogated over 300 times and most of the question asked concerned the UK, because as Begg puts it "I have never been to the US, the US came to me."

New revelations are also coming regarding the CIA's previously unknown prison sites such as the one near Vilnius, Lithuania.

According to ABC News, information received from some CIA sources alleges a so-called "black site prison" existed on the outskirts of Vilnius for more than a year, until 2005.

Flight logs show CIA planes regularly flew in and out of Vilnius during that time. A disused ex-Soviet army base, miles from the nearest house, would serve as a perfect cover.

..."The first thing for now is to have a list of the people who have been detained in Lithuania," said Giulietto Chiesa, former European Parliament member.

"And the problem is that there have been torture, illegal interrogation and very serious violations of human rights there. That means there are political and penal responsibilities".

Chiesa, who is pushing for accountability regarding the CIA's actions which took place in Lithuania, rocked the international community last year with his documentary Zero: An Investigation into 9/11.
