Wash. DOL issued most undercover licenses to CIA
Updated 8:49 am, Tuesday, April 16, 2013
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — A Washington Department of Licensing program that supplied fake licenses for undercover officers issued the most fake IDs to the Central Intelligence Agency and Defense Department, the Kitsap Sun reported.
In response to a public records request, the department last month showed the newspaper and public radio's Northwest News Network a list of agencies issued confidential licenses since 2007. The CIA topped the list with 288, followed by the Defense Department with 198, then followed mostly by police agencies in the state, such as the Kitsap County sheriff's office and Bremerton Police Department, the Kitsap Sun (http://bit.ly/11a9OVy ) reported Monday.
But, when the department released the list Friday by email, it lumped together all federal law enforcement agencies without naming them, saying that's classified.
"A lot of information that was compiled should not have been discussed," DOL spokesman Brad Benfield said, citing a nondisclosure agreement some DOL employees signed with the U.S. government.
"We simply can't talk about it anymore without further putting ourselves in legal jeopardy," Benfield said Monday.
The category of all federal law enforcement agencies accounted for 595 licenses, or 53 percent of the 1,121 issued.
The CIA refused to comment to the Kitsap Sun. The Defense Department would "not characterize or otherwise discuss our participation in this program," spokesman Lt. Col. Tom Crosson said.
"Naval Criminal Investigative Service does use a few confidential licenses for undercover purposes," NCIS spokesman Ed Buice said. "Beyond that it would be counterproductive for us to comment in any greater detail."
The program was secret until the paper's public records request prompted the Department of Licensing to request legislation to protect officers from disclosure and setting out guidelines.
The bill quietly passed the Senate but raised questions in the House's Transportation Committee where Republican lawmakers Matt Shea, of Spokane Valley, and Jason Overstreet, of Lynden, were surprised to find no one knows for sure when or why the program began.
"The first and obvious question is why (has) the CIA asked for and received 288 Washington state identifications," Overstreet said. "It seems like a big number."
He has sought answers but hasn't been able to get them.
"I think that the public demands a response," Overstreet said. "Not classified information — that would compromise officer safety. But I think the DOL owes the public a response as to why they've been operating this program the way they have, outside of state law."
Overstreet and Shea have amended legislation to add safeguards. They said fake IDS should be used only for the duration of an undercover officer's covert assignment.
The bill now awaits a vote on the House floor.

Murray seeks $1 billion for VA [ RACKETEER INFLUENCED AND CORRUPT ORGANIZATIONS US Title 18 ]
By Hal Bernton
Seattle Times staff reporter
U.S. Sen. Patty Murray yesterday sent a letter to the White House asking President Bush to shore up a $1 billion shortfall in Department of Veterans Affairs health-care funding.
Murray, D-Wash., said the deficit could be addressed in an emergency-spending bill in the Senate in the days before the Fourth of July recess.
The shortfall for the current fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30, was disclosed by VA officials last week, prompting Murray to accuse the Bush administration of either "deliberate misdirection or gross incompetence."
Yesterday, Murray held a rally outside the Puget Sound VA Health Care System hospital in Seattle to press for the additional funding.

"Fortunate Son"
Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Ooh, they're red, white and blue
And when the band plays "Hail to the chief"
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no
Yeah!
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves, oh
But when the taxman comes to the door
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord
And when you ask them, "How much should we give?"
Ooh, they only answer More! more! more! yoh
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no military son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, one
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no no no
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate son, no no no

Heroes Transcripts
201: Four Months Later...
[INT. (NEW YORK) BUILDING – HALLWAY -- DAY]
(Matt stands in front of a closed hallway door with other NYPD officers. They all have their guns out.)
MATT: I'm asking one more time. Come out with your hands up.
(There’s no answer.)
CAPTION:
MATT PARKMAN
MANHATTAN
MATT: Look, I know this sucks, NYPD showing up at your door like this. Look, I get it. But this is what happens when you take somebody hostage. I just need to make sure everybody gets out of there safely, okay?
(He hears glass crash and a woman screaming.)
(Matt kicks the apartment door open.)
[INT. APARTMENT – CONTINUING]
(Matt enters the apartment. He hears a man and a woman struggling in another room and heads toward the bedroom. The other officers follow behind him.)
(Matt starts for the bedroom where the man and the woman are. He hears a noise, turns around and fires off two shots – both hitting the gunman behind him.)
GUNMAN: Ah!
(The gunman falls to the floor. He knocks over a side table lamp before hitting the floor with a thud.)
(Matt leaves him and continues toward the bedroom.)
(He hears more commotion coming from the bedroom. He peers inside, sees the man with the gun and fires twice at him. The gunman falls backward into the bathroom. )
(Matt approaches the bedroom where he hears the woman struggling. He kicks the door open and points the gun up at a man and a woman.)
MATT: Both of you, hands up.
(The man and the woman turn to look at Matt, then they start shouting at him.)
MAN: No, I'm the hostage!
WOMAN: No, no, no!
MAN: Shoot her.
WOMAN: Shoot him. Shoot him.
MAN: No, I'm the hostage! I’m the hostage! Shoot her.
WOMAN: No, I’m the hostage! No, shoot him!
MAN: Shoot her.
WOMAN: Shoot him!
MAN: Shoot her. Shoot her! Shoot her!
MAN: (v.o., thoughts) Dude, it's her. Shoot her.
MAN: Shoot her! Shoot her!
(Matt turns the gun on the woman and fires, shooting her in the chest.)
WOMAN: Ah!
(She falls to the ground. Matt walks up to her.)
(The overhead lights to the testing apartment turn on. The woman who was just shot gets up. The bell rings signifying the test is over.)
(The woman looks at Matt. She’s impressed.)
WOMAN: How did you know?
DETECTIVE FULLER: (o.s.) Okay, guys. Good job. Let's clean this place up. All guns to the armory.
(Detective Fuller steps out. They shake hands and he talks to Matt. Apparently, this scenario has been a test.)
DETECTIVE FULLER: How did you know which one to shoot?
MATT: I don't know. Tone of voice. Eye contact. The hostage looked me in the eye. The other was looking for an exit.
(Matt tucks the gun in his holster while Detective Fuller looks out at the scene.)
DETECTIVE FULLER: Well, most people notice a gun under the bad guy's shirt.
MATT: Right. Yeah, that too. Of course.
(They start out across the set.)
DETECTIVE FULLER: You know, guys who get shot like you did, they just take that worker's comp and call it a day.
