“Excellent summary of the Farm.

“Can anyone cite a CIA ‘success’ in the last four decades?”

When we add your comment above from another reply of yours, the abysmal reality sinks in.”

Thanks. I get no ‘joy’ from noting this, btw. The facts however, show the CIA is a worthless entity, unless you like favored reporters gaining access to program they can then place on the front page of the NYT or WaPo.

Valerie Plame is a perfect example of what I’m talking about here. A typical government service employee of the CIA.

I don’t know if you have an intel background, Badeye. The failures of the Agency are ballyhooed in the press, and certainly they should be. However, their many successes over the years simply cannot be trumpeted openly.

That does seem to be their job description these days. Sad. Wild Bill Donovan is rolling over in his grave.
