At least Operation Paperclip

Had arguably redeeming qualities...it wasn't an out-and-out sequel.
The CIA officer tasked with interrogating the most important prisoners in America's secret detention programme allegedly abused captives during the agency's covert operations in Latin America in the 1980s, it has emerged. The US Senate's three-year inquiry into the CIA's use of torture after September 11 reveals that a senior agent involved in the programme was recommended for censure decades earlier for “inappropriate use of interrogation techniques”.
Inspiring.

When it’s time to dump a big load, choose Chux Todd.

(BTW, Google Search says that's a new funny. Fresh snark in the time of anal rape.)

Ah, yes, the CIA, the noted defender of human rights. In Guatemala, Honduras, Argentina and Brazil, Colombia, Iran, Indonesia, Nicaragua, Vietnam and El Salvador and in black sites around the world.

Jesus, they've got a lot of chutzpah.
