ABC NEWS: 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. The suspect in the case is identified as Andrew Warren in an affidavit for a search warrant filed in federal court in Washington, D.C. by an investigator for the State Department’s Diplomatic Security Service. Officials say the 41-year old Warren, 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 affidavit says the first victim says she was raped by Warren in Sept. 2007 after being invited to a party at Warren’s residence by U.S. embassy employees. She told a State Department investigator that after Warren prepared a mixed drink of cola and whiskey, she felt a “violent onset of nausea” and Warren said she should spend the night at his home. When she woke up the next morning, according to the affidavit, “she was lying on a bed, completely nude, with no memory of how she had been undressed.” She said she realized “she recently had engaged in sexual intercourse, though she had no memory of having intercourse.” MORE
THE FUGS: CIA Man
WIKIPEDIA: The Fugs are a band formed in New York City in 1965 by poets Ed Sanders and Tuli Kupferberg, with Ken Weaver on drums. Soon afterwards, they were joined by Peter Stampfel and Steve Weber of the Holy Modal Rounders. The band was named by Kupferberg, from a euphemism for “fuck” used in Norman Mailer‘s novel, The Naked and the Dead. A satirical and self-satirizing rock band with a political slant, they have performed at various war protests — against the Vietnam War and since the 1980s at events around other US-involved wars. The band’s often frank and almost always humorous lyrics about sex, drugs, and politics have caused a hostile reaction in some quarters. Their participation in a protest against the Vietnam War in the late 1960’s, during which they purportedly attempted to encircle and levitate the Pentagon, is chronicled in Norman Mailer‘s novel, Armies of the Night.
