Iraqi Protesters Shut Down Southern Oil Field

Protesters in Iraq have shut down a southern oil field and forced a cutoff of electricity at the facility amid ongoing unrest that has wracked the capital and much of southern Iraq since public anger first boiled over nearly three months ago.

Reuters reported that the demonstrators chanted, "No homeland, no oil!" as they forced the closure at the Nassiriya oil field, which produces 90,000 barrels of oil a day, on December 28.

CIA director Gina Haspel is in Turkey to talk Khashoggi murder… but why?

…On the face of it, Trump has sent Haspel to get to the bottom of what happened to Khashoggi; perhaps to look into whether Ankara really has the video and audio evidence some officials have claimed to have seen in leaks to media. But it’s hard to escape the irony that Haspel is well known for her role in destroying video evidence of CIA torture in 2005 — one of the hurdles she faced in Senate confirmation hearings earlier this year.

Haspel herself was also reportedly an active participant in torture of detainees earlier in her CIA career, even earning herself the nickname “Bloody Gina” from some less torture-happy colleagues.

Bloody Gina…kek
