This isn't going to play well.

The CIA's station chief at its sensitive post in Algeria is under investigation by the U.S. Justice Department for allegedly raping at least two Muslim women who claim he laced their drinks with a knock-out drug, U.S. law enforcement sources tell ABC News.

Officials say the 41-year old CIA officer, a convert to Islam, was ordered home by the U.S. Ambassador, David Pearce, in October after the women came forward with their rape allegations in September.

The discovery of more than a dozen videotapes showing the CIA officer engaged in sex acts with other women has led the Justice Department to broaden its investigation to include at least one other Arab country, Egypt, where the CIA officer had been posted earlier in his career.

Verdammte saudumme Hundescheisse! Verfickter Arsch! AAAAAAARRRRRGGGHH!

Algeria and Egypt were probably places "our" CIA contractors were quietly torturing people, too. Maybe becoming an unprosecutable professional torturer desensitizes?

Good point, Amelia.

After all, those who seek to torture usually want an excuse to inflict pain, and tend to be self-centered.

I don't see what the problem is. You just convict the women of adultery, stone them to death, and viola! Problem solved.
