According to Hager, anyway. It should be noted that he's a cunt. It should also be noted that he has a bad habit of putting his nose into things that don't concern him. With that said, if the claims the military misled the government are true (which I hope they're not) then there will be a shitstorm on the way...but then the article doesn't really explain how they misled them.
I don't know the details of this awesome CIA camp the Kiwis seem to be facilitating in the name of eating orphans and enslaving the poor and oppressed Afghan masses, but does anything think this CIA "camp" is some huge sprawling metropolis with a PRT built around it as a facade? You know what I envision? A couple of contractors in one or two b-huts or whatever they have up there in Bamian and not some sinister, lawless, waterboarding Disciples of Cheney or what-the-hell-ever people think of the CIA these days. Asshole reporters....
That was much along the lines of what I was thinking- an outpost of a couple of guys and maybe a donkey. It's a logical place for it, even though Bamian was/is (relative to the rest of the country) reasonably quiet.
Does this asshole know that there is a USA spy base in NZ? Get over yourself you liberal cunt. There are bigger things to consider.
Yup. Hager should have been killed for his intrusion there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GCSB_Waihopai
I wouldn't call it a US base per sey, but the stuff is certainly shared quite openly with the US (and the other partners).
My PE teacher in high school was an ex USAF bloke who worked a "secret" base in NZ during the 60's. Opened up to me by telling me that once he knew I was in the Army, but wouldn't say anything else because he signed off on a non disclosure.
Might have been Irirangi, Waihopi wasn't opened until the late 80s and Irirangi sounds like it was the main SIGINT base until Tangimoana opened up. You'll remember Irirangi from your army days.
Yeah well it's right across SH1 from the main gate next to the golf course so you should have remembered Mind you, I've only spent a week at Waiouru and it's kinda a place I want to forget...
Someone needs to put a sign in his office that says "Just because you know... DOESN"T MEAN YOU SHOULD TELL!!!"
