Thanks to 'Rat Senator Frank Church - along with traitorous garbage like Kerry - we are now reaping the results of their sanctimonious stupidity.

If real info on the CIA and American intelligence gathering is something that interests you (and it should) I cannot recommend Robert Baer's books enough.
I've read many books written by retired CIA officers but none compare with Mr. Baer's. They are very current and up-to-date. They directly deal with how we got ourselves in this mess leading up to 9/11 and what has been done since.
This guy was there and he's POd. It is a scandal of epic proportions and not that much has been done to address it. No it's not a scandal. It's an ongoing trajedy and all our lives are at stake.

Some news articles last year suggested that counterinsurgency in Iraq was going nowhere until it was basically taken away from the CIA and given to the military. After that change was announced, they started catching Saddam's men.

In Baghdad, many CIA employees are sheltered in secure compounds at the airport or in the capital's heavily guarded "Green Zone", where the Coalition Provisional Authority is based, making discreet meetings with informants extremely difficult.
Yeah, but the babes, booze, and night clubs are in the Green Zone. It may not be convenient for meeting informants, but hell's bells, there's a war on, people. I mean, this is the agency that failed to foresee the collapse of the USSR. What do you expect?
