Craig Murray: ‘Raped with broken bottles’ for Enron [UPDATED]

Stacy Summary:  The MSM is apparently outraged by the verdict in Italy case.  Here is more news on CIA torture.

• UPDATE:  For an alternative take on this story, here is Jerome a Paris on the Afghan pipeline

• CIA sent people to be ‘raped with broken bottles

Murray asserts that the primary motivation for US and British military involvement in central Asia has to do with large natural gas deposits in Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. As evidence, he points to the plans to build a natural gas pipeline through Afghanistan that would allow Western oil companies to avoid Russia and Iran when transporting natural gas out of the region.

Murray alleged that in the late 1990s the Uzbek ambassador to the US met with then-Texas Governor George W. Bush to discuss a pipeline for the region, and out of that meeting came agreements that would see Texas-based Enron gain the rights to Uzbekistan’s natural gas deposits, while oil company Unocal worked on developing the Trans-Afghanistan pipeline.

“The consultant who was organizing this for Unocal was a certain Mr. Karzai, who is now president of Afghanistan,” Murray noted.
