CIA Official Accused of Raping Two Muslim Women

Station chief in Algeria under investigation

Share

(Newser) – A CIA station chief in Algeria is under investigation for allegedly raping two Muslim women after knocking them unconscious with date-rape drugs, ABC News reports. The agency sent him back to the US in October after the women came forward a month earlier about the separate attacks. The allegations surface just days after President Obama made an overture to the Muslim world in an interview on Arab TV.

"It has the potential to be quite explosive if it's not handled well by the United States government," said a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. Both women say the CIA official, identified as 41-year-old Andrew Warren, served them laced drinks and then assaulted them at his residence. Warren told investigators that he had sex with the women but that it was consensual. Seized videotapes appear to indicate otherwise.

The CIA is investigating one of its own.

This will be seen as the typical ugly American. My question is how the CIA would not have picked up on this in their own regular reviews of CIA officers overseas. - Former CIA officer Bob Baer

Well said, almost. There are always but cases everywhere. And this is not a REPUBLICAN or DEMOCRAT issue. This is not a CONSERVATIVE or LIBERAL. This is a CULTURAL issue. Do gay bashers --which I am in no way condoning-- prefer liberal gays or conservative gays to bash? In the 50s I don't ever recall witnessing a "colored liberal" drinking fountain and a "colored conservative" fountain. Now , the thing is. U have to look at cultures where diversity and acceptance is encouraged, and the cultures where conformity and hatred are being reinforced.

Why is it newsworthy that they were Muslim? The religion of the victims is irrelevant, rape is rape. Reply
