Host Per Fagereng speaks with David Lindorff, founding editor of the online alternative newspaper ThisCantBeHappening! http://www.
Lindorff recently wrote the piece "U.S. Caught in The Big Lie: ThisCantBeHappening! was Correct in Exposing Raymond Davis as a Spy." http://www.
He also wrote: "The Deepening Mystery of Raymond Davis and Two Slain Pakistani Motorcyclists." http://www.counterpunch.org/
Lindorff says that "when Raymond Davis, the American who killed two Pakistani intelligence operatives in Lahore and now sits in a Lahore prison, was arrested, he claimed to have worked for a security company in Orlando. I checked it out for Counterpunch magazine. The address proved to be a vacant storefront in an empty strip mall. President Obama has publicly called Davis 'our diplomat,' demanding his release. He was lying. Davis is a CIA contractor. Major U.S. news organizations knew this weeks ago, but went along with the lie. It gets worse though. I’ve learned that in Davis’s camera, police found photos of military installations, mosques and schools -- the very things being bombed routinely in Pakistan. So what was Raymond Davis really up to?"
