I do believe the ‘intelligence’ community has shown themselves to be relatively incompetent. The list is too lengthy to enumerate here, most are aware anyway. But this latest disruption regarding the golden showers was the last straw. They obviously can’t or won’t discern fact from fiction when it comes to politically motivated issues, and even some genuine security issues.
PBS put out a documentary several years ago called “The Man Who Knew” about an FBI agent who had every reason to believe that 911 was going to happen, he just didn’t know when or where. He tried furiously to convince his people of it and they blew him off as a kook.
Eventually, he took a new job as chief of security at the twin towers. His first day on the job was....911. He didn’t survive.
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. :(
I don’t mean to disparage people who do work to do their best, but the political plays really need to stop while a more ethical stance needs to be had.
I wonder if this job makes people schitzo??
