Asshole of the day: Hashim Thaçi

Hashim Thaçi,[a] called "The Snake",[1] ([ˈhaʃim ˈθatʃi] ( listen); born 24 April 1968) is the Prime Minister of the self-proclaimed and partially recognised Republic of Kosovo,[b] the leader of the Democratic Party of Kosovo (DPK), and the former political leader of the Kosovo Liberation Army, a paramilitary organisation which was active during the Kosovo War...

As reported by several international,[14] Serbian,[15] Kosovan[16] and Albanian[17] news agencies, in an interview for Albanian TV Klan on 24 December 2010, Thaçi said that he would publish the methods used by Dick Marty and the names of his collaborators in the report that accuses him of organ trafficking in Kosovo...

Asshole of the Day: Duane Clarridge

"...he directed several of the CIA's more notorious operations in Latin America, including the 1984 mining ofNicaraguan harbors, an act for which the United States was convicted in the 1986 World Court at the Hague. When asked about his role in the mining, Clarridge was open about his involvement but downplayed the severity of the covert operation: "So we decided to go big time for the economics alright... So I was sitting at home one night, frankly having a glass of gin, and I said you know the mines has gotta be the solution. I knew we had 'em, we'd made 'em outta sewer pipe and we had the good fusing system on them and we were ready. And you know they wouldn't really hurt anybody because they just weren't that big a mine, alright? Yeah, with luck, bad luck we might hurt somebody, but pretty hard you know?..."

"...He has claimed that he had no involvement in the later illegal diversion of funds to the Contras or the subsequent cover-up. Clarridge was indicted in November 1991 on seven counts of perjury and false statements. On Christmas Eve 1992 in the waning hours of his presidency, George H. W. Bush pardoned Clarridge before his trial could finish. At the same time, Bush pardoned five of Clarridge's associates in the Iran-Contra Affair including former Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger, Elliott Abrams, a former assistant secretary of state for Inter-American affairs; former National Security Advisor Robert McFarlane; and former CIA employees Alan Fiers and Clair George..."
