The two links below set
the scene for this post: The Outing of a CIA Operative Possibly, or Just Old News???
1. The CIA operative, agent, analyst, or whomever appears to be in this link (possibly):
2. Extensive background leading up what follows below is from here:
Why this post and why now? It has been triggered by the recently redacted 525 pages of Senate 6,700 page CIA torture
report that reveals possible
war crimes and violations
of the Nuremberg ban on human experimentation by the CIA and their agents
and some military contractors.
PREVIOUS BACKGROUND: On December 19,
2014 , journalists Glenn Greenwald and Peter Maass revealed
the name of one key CIA senior officer at the center of the torture scandal.
Her name is Alfreda Frances Bikowsky, who still lives in a well-appointed ranch
house in Mclean , VA
that is nestled in a wooded lot at 1437 Brookhaven
Drive , a short 19-minute, 12-mile commute to CIA HQ
in Reston , VA.
She bought the property for $825,000 in April of 2012. [Click here to

My Q: Is this kind
of release of information on this woman at this time kosher and proper? My first reaction is to say "no" it is not proper or right. However, regardless of my view, it is out there now for the world to see.

Finally, a lot more can also be found below at this very site - my detainee library page –
some links therein may overlap others, and if so, I’m sorry for that – but the research
is extensive and there is over a dozen years of stuff that had to be screened,
but I think the most pertinent and enlightening is therein.
