When it comes to Roland Carnaby, the truth is out there — way out there. So far out that you reach the blogosphere before finding anything that publicly connects him to his beloved Central Intelligence Agency, which he claimed to still patriotically serve when Houston police shot him down at the end of a crosstown chase on April 29.

But even that obscure, blog-world confirmation is not what it seems to be, which is pretty much what you get with Carnaby, the curious 52-year-old son of Lebanese parents who spent much of his time in bars and restaurants dropping broad hints that he was somebody, or something, else.

The “proof” of his tie to the CIA — denied repeatedly by the agency itself — comes indirectly through a Houston man, Alan Premel, who supposedly served with him and who has been linked to him on numerous Internet sites. If one believes the various posts about him, Premel is a former CIA wunderkind who won the agency’s highest award for valor before a nasty separation and lawsuit that netted him a multimillion dollar settlement.

Those posts are made on obscure blogs that ceased shortly after posting articles about Premel or in the reader comment sections of better-known, ongoing blogs. A few appear in comment sections of legitimate stories posted on mainstream news media sites.

Taken together they give a whiff of credibility to the assertions of Carnaby’s friends that he was the agent he claimed to be, especially considering they were made long before Carnaby was killed.

One of them, at the short-lived papparazzipress.com, refers to Carnaby as one of “CIA’s most experienced, talented and high-profile clandestine officers.” Another mentions Premel as a “battle hardened and battle tested CIA war hero” who was “the youngest supervisor to ever head a task force.”

Chasing a nuke? Blogs spin tales of ’spy’ shot by HPD

OK, I am sitting here seriously LMAO…

Not kidding, this is funny way beyond the normal limits of funny…

“CIA’s most experienced, talented and high-profile clandestine officers.”

What’s wrong with that quote folks?? Anyone?? Bueller??

Think about this for a minute, “high-profile” and “clandestine“, these are words that do NOT go together in any way, shape, form or fashion, and anyone that has ever been privy to any kind of high security work is more than aware of this fact…

Carnaby and his buddy were playing ‘Get Smart’ and the Maxwell Smart character came home to bite em in the ass when they tangled with the REAL police…

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Bush administration told a federal judge it was not obligated to preserve videotapes of CIA interrogations of suspected terrorists and urged the court not to look into the tapes’ destruction.

In court documents filed Friday night, government lawyers told U.S. District Judge Henry H. Kennedy that demanding information about the tapes would interfere with current investigations by Congress and the Justice Department.

It was the first time the government had addressed the issue of the videotapes in court.

Kennedy ordered the administration in June 2005 to safeguard “all evidence and information regarding the torture, mistreatment, and abuse of detainees now at the United States Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay.”

Five months later, the CIA destroyed the interrogation videos. The recordings involved suspected terrorists Abu Zubaydah and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri

Government lawyers told Kennedy the tapes were not covered by his court order because Zubaydah and al-Nashiri were not at the Guantanamo military prison in Cuba. The men were being held overseas in a network of secret CIA prisons. By the time President Bush acknowledged the existence of those prisons and the prisoners were transferred to Guantanamo, the tapes had been destroyed.

Judge Urged Not to Ask About CIA Tapes

Personally, I have NO issue with what the CIA does with these people, if they can gather information that saves so much as 1 American life, what happens to our enemies is of NO consequence to me…

Even if Kennedy accepts the argument that government did not violate his order, he still could demand a hearing. He could raise questions about obstruction or spoliation, a legal term for the destruction of evidence in “pending or reasonably foreseeable litigation.”

You’d better be careful Judge, I don’t know how it works today, but in the past YOU could be the one to come up missing…

I know there has to be some oversight of the CIA, they can’t just run a loose operation and do as they please, there has to be some responsibility, but they can’t go about the job of protecting America with Congress and others constantly poking their noses into every move they make…

The solution?? I honestly have no idea other than for the CIA to go totally covert and stop the leaks regarding the happenings in secure locations and the leaks concerning operations…

I do know that during the Clinton administration the CIA and the U.S. military were cut to bare bones, and they have never fully recovered, and now the Dem controlled Senate and Congress is setting up a cut and bleed party once again, the only thing they lack to bring this into fruition is for the White House itself to back them and once again our military and Intel sources will take a massive hit…

I believe this stresses the reasons that we can’t let the Dems have the White House in ‘08, and why especially we can’t allow Hillary Clinton to ever walk thru the doors of the White House as anything other than a visitor, and even then she needs to watched closely, she steals stuff…

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate’s No. 2 Democrat on Friday asked the Justice Department to investigate whether the CIA obstructed justice by destroying videotapes that documented the harsh 2002 interrogations of two alleged terrorists.

A day after CIA Director Gen. Michael Hayden told agency employees the tapes were destroyed in 2005, members of Congress, human rights groups and lawyers for accused terrorists said the tapes may have been key evidence that the U.S. government had illegally authorized torture.

White House press secretary Dana Perino said Friday that President Bush did not have any recollection about the tapes or about their destruction.

“I spoke to the president this morning about this. He has no recollection of being made aware of the tapes or their destruction before yesterday” when he was briefed by Hayden, she said.

Justice Asked to Probe Tape Destruction

What did I say?? What did I tell you guys in THIS commentary??

“I spoke to the president this morning about this. He has no recollection of being made aware of the tapes or their destruction before yesterday” when he was briefed by Hayden, she said.

It’s already started, and from a much higher level than I expected, look, I have NO qualms with the alphabet agencies using whatever tactics they feel are needed to extract information from enemy agents, or other foreign nationals deemed a threat to this nation, but by God, have the balls to stand up and say, ‘Yeah, we did it, we’re protecting America, you got a problem with that?‘…

And look at WHO is doing the crying, the Senate’s No. 2 Democrat, what did I say?? The Dems WILL be all over this, last night I posted the story on the destruction of the tapes and I knew right then, Dem bait, and it didn’t take long for it to happen…

In a letter to Attorney General Michael Mukasey, Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin of Illinois asked for a probe of “whether CIA officials who destroyed these videotapes and withheld information about their existence from official proceedings violated the law.”

Dem leadership at it’s very best, doing what Dems in office do best, screwing up the protection of America and working hard to emasculate our Intelligence services, but wait, the Queen of Emasculation has spoken too…

Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Hillary Clinton, D- N.Y., also called for a full investigation.

“We’ve got to really clean house here and get to the bottom of what’s been going on,” she said Friday.

Look BITCH, the last time you cleaned house you made your gutless husband dismantle the U.S. military and our intelligence capabilities to the point that 9-11 was an inevitability, you and your ‘horn dog’ cut the balls right out from under this nation and you’ll do it again if the American people are stupid enough to EVER elect you to the office of President…

George Bush has his faults, he is a buffoon, he hasn’t put the Intel capabilities of this nation back together like it needs to be done, not fully, but at least he hasn’t cut the military and destroyed our intelligence gathering capabilities…

Hillary and Billy Bob did, and SHE will do it again, and it’s quite likely that ANY Dem that makes it to the White House will as well, these people hate America and will work even harder than our Globalist in Chief at giving Her away…

Americans on the Conservative and Republican side of this battle had better wake up, the very existence of our nation is in danger and we MUST have leadership that won’t work against America…
