Panetta, at Vatican, Says Pope Thanks Him for Service
By ELISABETH BUMILLER, NY Times , 1/16/13 click here=world
ROME -- Leon E. Panetta had an audience on Wednesday morning at the Vatican with Pope Benedict XVI, who told him, Mr. Panetta said, "Thank you for helping to protect the world." Mr. Panetta said he replied, "Pray for me."
Mr. Panetta, ... who attends Mass every Sunday, is halfway through a week-long trip to Europe meant as a goodbye tour of American allies.
The reader is invited to read the whole short NY Times report before a short paragraph on Panetta's to-be-prosecuted crimes, a quote from Reagan's
Asst. Sec. of Treasury Paul Craig Roberts, and the author's
commiseration with fellow born-Catholics.
During Panetta's time as CIA Director and Secretary of Defense US, illegal wars (illegal, even according to Ron Paul) have gone on
un-mercilessly in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Somalia, Yemen at the
cost of thousands of lives of men, women and children murdered in their
own beloved, innocent and poor nations. Under Panetta thugs were paid to destroy the government of the most
prosperous and democratic nation in Africa before US NATO bombing took
place while a near million Libyans in a population of only six million
demonstrated for their Green democracy government and Gadaffi. At last count, 60,000 have died in Syria for the attempt of the former colonial powers led by the US and satellites like Israel, Saudi
Arabia, and Turkey to do the same governmental overthrow there in the face of similar massive
pro-government rallies that are denied coverage in the Pentagon-fed
network news programs. Panetta serves in running what King called "atrocity wars meant to maintain unjust predatory investments."
'It is a known fact that the CIA has violated US law and international
law with its assassinations, kidnappings and torture. But it is not this
criminal agency that will be held accountable. Instead, those who will
be punished will be those moral beings who, appalled at the illegality
and inhumanity of the CIA, leaked the evidence of the agency's crimes.
The CIA has asked the US Justice (sic) Department to investigate what
the CIA alleges is the 'criminal disclosure' of its secret program to
murder suspected foreign terrorist leaders abroad. As we learned from
Gitmo, those suspected by America are overwhelmingly innocent." (Paul
Craig Roberts, CIA's Hypocracy Astonishes the World, http://www.vdare.com,
9/6/2009.)
Fellow Catholics can only hope that the Pope said
something else to Leon Panetta that monstrous war-criminal Panetta was
reluctant to mention to US foreign-policy-promoting reporters.
