Intell in Iran dealt severe HUMINT blow.

[FairOpinion]

FoxNews said this occurred some ten years ago.

Tell me this is a hoax! My teenage son could come up with something more professional than this. What kind of nitwits do they have in the central Intelligence agency?

[xcamel]

IIRC - This is a very old story.

I bet they got the intel. from one of our "allies" in the War on Terror.

While confirming the gist of Perle's report, CIA sources told the Times that the incident occurred in the late 1980s or early 1990s, not "a few years ago," as Perle suggested.

Its interesting that the LA Times would site "unnamed" sources to to counter/deflect Perle's inference that this occured during the Clinton administration. These CIA sources wouldn't happen to be Clinton supporters, would they?

"The CIA declined to comment officially, but a U.S. intelligence official rejected Perle's criticism of the agency's record in the Mideast as both ill-informed and outdated."

The 'Record' would appear to speak for itself, notwithstanding Pearle's criticisms. As far as I'm concerned, this incident could have occurred yesterday as ten years ago - Such is the confidence I have that the CIA is any better prepared today than it was then.

First thought after reading this is that it had to have occurred during the Buffoonian, er, Clintoonian Administration.

...incident occurred in the late 1980s or early 1990s

I made the same assumption. However, it looks like they're blaming it on Bush 41. Odd they would bring this up now though. Wonder if this is the first of other attacks on 41? There's always a motive.

The shocking story surfaced on Feb. 2, when former Pentagon adviser Richard N. Perle told the House Intelligence Committee . . .

Now there's a real credible source for you.

I've already decided I won't ever believe a damn thing this moron ever says, until he: 1) spends 18 months driving alone around Mosul, Tikrit, and Fallujah in a Humvee; and 2) gives back all the money he's been paid from various interests (including Red China) in his position as a Washington lobbyist.

Try this: "The CIA by its own admission has had no first-hand on-the-ground intelligence from Iran in many years, therefore we have grave concerns about these reports of an alleged 'nuclear program'..."

[Rocketman]

Bull-pucky the agents over there are compartmentalized

Arrests are made all the time and people are told they are traitors and told to confess all kinds of things -- fow shows of strength and other political purposes

Not to worry

[Congressman Billybob]

The title of this article does not BEGIN to match the text. Readers might get the false impression that something REAL bad happened REAL recently. The first is not necessarily true. The second is obviously false.

Guess the democrats and the Clintons got a big cash bonus from Iran about 10 years ago.
