CIA reportedly ordered Blackwater to murder 9/11 suspect
Vanity Fair has reemerged as a powerful journalistic force in recent years, outing the long-secret "Deep Throat" source of The Washington Post's Watergate reporting.

In 2004, the CIA sent a team from the private security firm Blackwater, now Xe, to Hamburg to kill an alleged al Qaeda financier who was investigated for years by German authorities on suspicion of links to al Qaeda, according to a little-highlighted element in a Vanity Fair article to be published this month.

The report cited a source familiar with the program as saying the mission had been kept secret from the German government.

"Among the team's targets, according to a source familiar with the program, was Mamoun Darkazanli, an al Qaeda financier living in Hamburg who had been on the agency's radar for years because of his ties to three of the 9/11 hijackers and to operatives convicted of the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in East Africa," writes Vanity Fair's Adam Ciralsky.

"The CIA team supposedly went in 'dark'', meaning they did not notify their own station -- much less the German government -- of their presence; they then followed Darkazanli for weeks and worked through the logistics of how and where they would take him down," reports the magazine.

1. I want to know who at CIA ordered

3. Porter Goss was CIA head 9/24/04-5/05/06.

He was preceded by Tenet.

ETA: The target was in custody from 10/15/04 until the following July, so it would have had to be before then?

4. No Al Qaeda financier means no financier ties being made public.

Who knows where that would lead... Carlyle Group? Other than overlapping boards, one shouldn't think Blackwater would have any business there, dark or otherwise.

Who did aircraft before Blackwater became an approved supplier? The political spectrum seems to be missing a big chunk of the liberal hues these days.
