Public was misled, claim ex-CIA men

Note "ex-CIA". Are these klintonistas or just disgruntled "ex" employees?

One of them at least, Ray McGovern, used to brief President Reagan, starting right after he was elected, even before the inaugeration. He was a 26 year CIA employee, '64-90. He's a bit out of the loop I would guess. A search on his name produced a lot of lefty sites, but also some far right, "Bush is Evil" type sites. In fact he seems more one of the latter types.

I used to serve with a bunch of folks with varying amounts of experience as military intelligence officers, and petty much uniformly, all were critical of the CIA. "East Coast Elitists" was on of the gentler terms. Just as Clancy portrays them, a lot of Irish Catholics (as was one of my Colonel friends) from Boston University. (he went to a Catholic small college in Texas) The kind of people that got along well with Bush I, but not necessarily with Bush II.
