I'm sorry. I can't seem to find any interiors for the lavish Virginia home (convenient! near Langley!) of one of our chief torturers. But, hey! the exterior is a treat. And it's available for rent!

Ken Silverstein has a wrap-up on the owner of this impressive chunk of contemporary decorating kitsch owned by a CIA officer, the guy who was put in charge of the "salt pit" -- torture headquarters in Afghanistan. "This isn’t the first time Zirbel’s surroundings have wowed someone," Silverstein writes.
Over a decade ago, Zirbel, then a junior CIA officer, was in charge of the Salt Pit, a “black site” in Afghanistan referred to in the recent Senate torture report as “Cobalt,” where detainees were routinely brutalized and which one visitor described as a “dungeon.” A delegation from the Federal Bureau of Prisons was “WOW’ed” by the Salt Pit’s sensory deprivation techniques, and a CIA interrogator said that prisoners there “literally looked like [dogs] that had been kenneled,” according to the report. ...TheIntercept
Incidentally, Zirbel’s estate in Virginia is about 200 miles southeast of Loretto, Pennsylvania. That’s where CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou, the only person ever sentenced to prison time over the torture program, is currently shacked up at a federal correctional institute. ...TheIntercept
