CLINTON'S HUMAN RIGHTS POLICIES WRECKED INTELLIGENCE

human rights issues aside, why would you trust "scumbags" for good intelligence anyways. the people excluded have already proven themselves untrustworthy by their very nature. i doubt this had much effect of the gathering of relavent intelligence.

Do you think commrade Clinton intentionally allowed weakness in our security apparatus in order to impose marshall law after a terrorist event? Unfortunately for his schemes, al queda and osama were just a bit late. The original attacks were supposd to be a year earlier. Just remember, the Klintons have no morals... i.e. campaign cash to the Chicoms in exchange for Loral missle technology.
Peace...D
...FROM the Chicoms...
Ooopps...D
This kind of conspiracy theorizing simply blinds people to the reality of matters. It's like people who claim Bush has is inherently a power-grabber and therefore let 9/11 happen.
For the same reason police use snitches, rate and weasels; they are on the inside or next to it and are the best source of information and intentions.
Regards,
I put out my opinion on the matter, but from the pedantic tone of your reply you obviously have more than simple opinions to offer, but actual knowledge. Are you going to stop there or actually teach me something?

First, one doesn't "trust" them, one uses them, normally with the incentive of cold, hard cash.
Second, one uses them because they hang out with the bad guys, the other scumbags upon whom you want to gain intelligence.
As for this story, once again there appears to have been a great deal of Reno/Gorelick interference in CIA operations, mainly in an effort to provide CYA to the Clinton White House (don't believe for a second that "human rights" was their actual concern).
The CIA really needs to be unleashed from the political process, particularly congressional "oversight" (aka meddling). Barring that it's a useless organization that should be completely dismanteled.
The Clintons personally associated "with what might charitably be called slimeballs - very, very unpleasant type people who probably have criminal records,".
This was their fundraiser class, and putting a stop to CIA gathering "INTEL" was to protect themselves.
"In the lexicon of intelligence, "trust" doesn't exist."
I was trying to think of a response and alas, you've stated it perfectly!
In the world of spooks I suspect it's fair to say that nothing is to be accepted until proven otherwise?
