CENTO is gone. The Baghdad Pact is dead.

Former CIA Acting Director John McLaughlin provides a rationale for intelligence officers to speak up against Donald Trump’s White House.

The September 11 terror incidents in 2001 are said to be the biggest-ever deadly attack on US soil. Shamefully, exactly 17 years later, the US president and Pentagon military chiefs are threatening to go to war in Syria – to defend the same ilk of terrorists.
