Oops. Scrooge. Sorry.
Let me choose, football or 60 minutes....hmmm this is easy....football!
I think I'll pass on CBS and 60 Minutes, but I would like to make a prediction: It's all Bush's fault, but if it isn't his fault, he still made it much worse then it should have been.
Let me know how I did.
Your post: "Get rid of all the lifers who see their very important work as nothing more than a civil service job and a cushy career. We needs folks who have a WWII/Early Cold War mentality in dealing with terrorism, and not jackasses who write a book and jump on the 60 Minute bandwagon. How many hit pieces does this make for 60 Minutes on the Bush Admin.?"
Great job.
Funny how these people never have any "shame" or embarrassment for their failures - why is that?
I'm watching the segment now.
Actually I ALWAYS miss 60 Minutes. Having personally seen how they operate, and the many other examples which have been documented, I don't believe a single thing they air.
Scheur is blaming Tenet and media darling Richard Clark for 9/11. H
I'd trust Art Bell more than 60 Minutes.
Tenet was Bush's weakest link....my guess Mikey wil be in his corner.
It looks like Porter Goss means business! I have a feeling he will take care of the house cleaning that should have been done 4 years ago. Hopefully President Bush has learned a lesson in Washington partisanship, and will give these left-wing Judas bureaucrats the same treatment that the Whitehouse Travel Office got in 92.

Hmmm, I am detecting a pattern here. Before the election, Scheur was pointing the finger at Bush. Now, he's trying to broaden his appeal to sell more books, by blaming Clarke and Tenet. This Yankee has no shame, sir.
Despite the caveat of CBS's heavy editing, it looked to me like this fellow is interested in telling the truth. He slammed Tenet and Richard Clarke pretty well, and also defined the real extent of reasons justifying the WOT like no MSM has allowed thus far.
He will surely be appearing on other media after this, and we will see.....I can't wait till Rush has him on. For now, I am not convinced that he is about bashing the Prez.....what I saw and heard indicates otherwise......and as for his earlier activities, well, he was still in the employ of the CIA, which has not performed well for President Bush thus far.
I will wait to judge this man.
Well,.....this 'is' the real story?
/'anon'......?
(The 'Iceberg' is NOT the 'tip'.....)
Like I said, I will wait to judge this man.
I didn't read his book......Does someone who did want to critique it briefly? I'd be foolish to judge the book by its title.
here is a Newsmax report of the interview:

Have you seen this one?
If not, read the first two paragraphs.

Who Is Anonymous?
He's Michael Scheuer. But why won't the Times and the Post say so?

Michael Scheuer is the senior intelligence analyst who created and advised a secret CIA unit for tracking and eliminating bin Laden since 1996. He's also been at the center of a battle between the CIA and the White House over Mideast policy and the war on terror.
