Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.) praised both Maguire and Hallman for their service after their resignations were announced.
!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well then we know it was a good firing.
Of Hallman, Burr added he appreciated “his extensive knowledge of intelligence matters and his deep respect for the men and women of our [intelligence community].”

That would be the intelligence community that completely missed 9/11, told us WMDs was a slam dunk and then tried to run a coup against our choice for President.
There are tens of thousands more at CIA that should follow these two out the door; overpaid, overstaffed, underworked and overly duplicative of other agency work. Time to go, clean the stables out, there is a lot of s**t in that pathetic organization. Together with Richard Burr and Warner, they can go look for the WMDs in Iraq they confidently predicted were there to start a totally unnecessary, costly war in lives and treasure. CIA’s other wonderful predictions? The Soviet Union was growing at astounding rates and would surpass the US in the 1990s - when communism fell, it turned out Soviet Russia had a GNP the size of Belgium. Genius, isn’t it?

Just remember Mitch selects the Pubbies to sit on and chair this committee.
