TRIPOLI (Reuters) - Documents found in the abandoned Tripoli office of
Muammar Gaddafi's intelligence chief indicate the U.S. and British spy
agencies helped the fallen strongman persecute Libyan dissidents, Human
Rights Watch said on Saturday.
The documents were uncovered by the human rights activist group in the
abandoned offices of Libya's former spy chief and foreign minister, Moussa
Koussa.
The group said it uncovered hundreds of letters between the CIA, MI6 and
Koussa, who is now in exile in London. Letters from the CIA began, "Dear
Moussa," and were signed informally with first names only by CIA officials,
Human Rights Watch said.
The current military commander for Tripoli of Libya's provisional government
, Abdel Hakim Belhadj, was among those captured and sent to Libya by the CIA
, Human Rights Watch said.
"Among the files we discovered at Moussa Koussa's office is a fax from the
CIA dated 2004 in which the CIA informs the Libyan government that they are
in a position to capture and render Belhadj," Human Rights Watch's Peter
Bouckaert, who was part of the group that found the stash, told Reuters.
"That operation actually took place. He was captured by the CIA in Asia and
put on a secret flight back to Libya where he was interrogated and tortured
by the Libyan security services."
The files shed new light on the practice known as rendition, used by the
United States under former President George W. Bush, in which the terrorism
suspects were handed over to other countries for interrogation. Rights
groups have criticized the United States for sending these suspects to
countries where they were likely to be tortured.
HANDED OVER FOR TORTURE
Belhadj has said that he was tortured by CIA agents before being transferred
to Libya, where he says he was then tortured at Tripoli's notorious Abu
Salim prison.
Western intelligence services began cooperating with Libya after Gaddafi
abandoned his programme to build unconventional weapons in 2004. But the
files show his cooperation with the CIA and MI6 may have been more extensive
than previously thought, analysts say.
The depth of the ties could anger officials in Libya's provisional
government -- many of whom are long-term opponents of Gaddafi and are now
responsible for charting a new path for Libya's foreign relations.
Bouckaert showed Reuters photos of several documents on his computer and
also photos of letters he said were from the CIA to Koussa and were signed,
"Steve." He also displayed photographs he said were of letters from MI6
giving Libyan intelligence information on Libyan dissidents in Britain.
"Our concern is that when these people were handed over to the Libyan
security they were tortured and the CIA knew what would happen when they
sent people like Abdel Hakim into the hands of the Libyan security services,
" Bouckaert said.
In Washington, CIA spokeswoman Jennifer Youngblood, without commenting on
any specific allegation or document, said: "It can't come as a surprise that
the Central Intelligence Agency works with foreign governments to help
protect our country from terrorism and other deadly threats. That is exactly
what we are expected to do."
A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, added: "There are lots
of countries willing to take terrorists off the street who want to kill
Americans. That doesn't mean U.S. concerns about human rights are ignored in
the process."
"Let's keep in mind the context here," the official added. "By 2004, the U.S
. had successfully convinced the Libyan government to renounce its nuclear
weapons program and to help stop terrorists who were actively targeting
Americans in the US and abroad."
A British government spokesman told Reuters that Britain did "not comment on
intelligence matters."
More recent documents showed that after the war broke out six months ago,
Libya reached out to a former rebel group in the breakaway Somali state of
Puntland, the Somali Salvation Front, asking them to send 10,000 fighters to
Tripoli to help defend Gaddafi.

其实不算翻脸，是必然的步骤。
Rendition 的目的就是制造分裂。
让老卡去虐待某些有潜力的人物。
使这些人痛恨老卡变成潜在的劲敌。
然后反过来支持这些劲敌，制造内战。
所以不论老卡或劲敌都只是人家的棋子。
棋子们互斗互耗，却看不出自己在做炮灰。
就像斗鸡们一本正经的互啄，让布局者获利。。
