Transcribing the bullshit

Is there any reason for any journalist to believe the CIA or any other agency of the Bush-Cheney administration?

The C.I.A. emptied its secret prisons in the fall of 2006

Lying is part of the CIA mission, and the New York Times thinks it knows that the CIA isn't lying about clearing all of its black detention sites.

Especially when this is well known:

Ms. Gutierrez said that she could not reveal what Mr. Khan had said about his treatment because the government declared prisoners’ statements to be classified.
