Unnamed CIA officials flat out lied when they told reporters that the first they had heard from Abdul Haq was his futile plea to be saved from the Taliban fighters who surrounded him and then murdered him last Friday.

Doesn't surprise me. Simply, W. can't trust the nation to the dysfunctional cultures of the CIA and the FBI.

Big broom time.

The ancient Roman practice of decimation would do a lot for our "intelligence" agencies.

Novak has been full of sh!t for a long time this is just another example of it.

Sure we were going to wait till Oct for the bombing to start. Even now the @ssholes who live to criticize are wild with rage that the bombing is not enough.

When this guy decided to undertake this suicide mission I recall wondering why he would be doing it so soon and not after the murderous mullahs had been softened up a bit more. I guess even that degree of analysis is too much for the sower of distrust and disinformation with his unnamed slimers drooling in his ear.

I'm beginning to believe that Bob Novak is giving aid and comfort to our enemies--or he's more worried about his portfolio that the thousands of people who died at the WTC/Pentagon/Pennsylvania--and the thoussands more of our troops who are in harm's way fighting against the Taliban.

That fits the pattern of deceit, arrogance and ignorance that describes the U.S. role in the murder of the legendary Afghan commander.

What do they want US services with? Mayonnaise or Ketchup? Who the f3ck cares about Haq except enuchs in need of protection.

Novak may have a point here about CIA. While I disagree with most of the stuff he has in this column, we need someone new as DCI, preferably someone who will get results and tell Congress where to stuff it when Congress deserves to be sold that.

Get rid of Tenet. Give me Oliver North as DCI. He's the closest we have to Bill Casey.

Or, it could be Mr. Novak who is arrogant and ignorant. I should hope the CIA is full of deceit!

[shrinkermd]

If it isn't the CIA then it is the FBI. If it isn't the FBI then it is the DEA. If it isn't the DEA then it must be the "spy softwre" you don't know about on your computer. Must be hard to worry about all these conspiracies.

[Carry_Okie]

Yup. Why should we build an effective internal resistance when we can have so much fun posturing before the American public as "doing something," and please our industrial donors by wasting ammunition and provoking the entire region flexing that imperial muscle?

REMEMBER THE BAY OF PIGS!

REMEMBER VIETNAM!

REMEMBER KOSOVO! CIA SUCKING UP TO BIN LADEN + KLA "FREEDOM FIGHTERS" WITH ARMS AND AMMO AND US AIR STRIKES AGAINST CHRISTIAN SERBS.

BWHAAAAAA!!!!

Now they're bound and determined to screw up this campaign too.

IF THE CIA WAS A BUSINESS IT WOULD HAVE GONE OUT OF BUSINESS AFTER THE CUBAN FIASCO.

(sorry about the caps)

Class, methinks nobody's paying attention again.

I have admittedly only done a scan read on the above article at this point (anything beyond a few paragraphs demands a bookmark and revisit later).

But I seem to feel that the missing point here (and correct me if I missed it) is that just because Haq was in touch with the CIA for months does not mean that they were condoning and working with his recent exploit of going into Afghanistan.

I get the distinct impression that Haq was wanting to do this and was just wanting the US to back him up.

Once can't run a war and be responsible for every Lone Ranger that "has a plan."

Loosing Haq is a terrible thing. But I think, from what I have read so far, that Haq owns a great deal of ownership in getting himself killed by acting on his own and NOT doing this with his back covered.
