Australia: Community probe reports of AFP training with CIA and M15

Snitch | 04.01.2007 23:53 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Repression | World

"We can determine that there have been other reports about the illegal and degrading wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the complicity of the AFP in the Bali bombing in 2002, and now the fire sale of Australian military hardware, including a rocket launcher found on a tip. After the rocket launchers that went missing from the Australia War Force just recently and that's part of the inquiries that we are making," They said.

“The availability of mass communication
systems has probably added to workloads
rather than diminished them. I want us
to turn this around and ensure that
technology works for us and not vice
versa” — Commissioner Mick Keelty.

The Community (C.O.M.M.U.N.I.T.Y.) says investigations are under way into claims that the Australian Federal Police (AFP) Commissioner Mick Guilty is among a group of Westerners undergoing terrorist training with a CIA, and M-15 propaganda group in Canberra.

The Community says at this stage we have been able to confirm the veracity of the reports.

The Community can also confirm the reports centre around 255,000 deaths in Iraq, a few hundred thousand in Afghanistan and those Australian's who were seriously injured and blown to bits in Bali in 2002. And now, a fire sale on rocket launchers on Ebay.

"We can determine that there have been other reports about the illegal and degrading wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the complicity of the AFP in the Bali bombing in 2002, and now the fire sale of Australian military hardware, including a rocket launcher found on a tip. After the rocket launchers that went missing from the Australia War Force just recently and that's part of the inquiries that we are making," They said.

"That's part of the reason the C.O.M.M.U.N.I.T.Y. work so closely with our overseas peace agencies in the International community, to determine the veracity of these sort of claims and the extent to which people have undergone any sort of training to kill innocent people."

One example is the British medical journal the Lancet, the US invasion and occupation of Iraq are responsible for the deaths of an estimated 655,000 Iraqis.

Former Australian military chiefs challenge government over Iraq war

Tinley, like the other military chiefs interviewed in the Age, is not arguing for an end to imperialist military interventions. Under conditions of widespread anti-war sentiment among broad layers of the population, deepening social inequality and increasing hostility to the official political superstructure, he is deeply concerned about the dangers posed to the existing social order when the internal discipline and morale of the military, a crucial component of the capitalist state, is weakened and undermined.
