Thank God the CIA is rid of this unhinged "annonymous" idiot and his ilk. With idiots like him working in the CIA its no wonder we were hit on 9/11 and a bonified miracle we haven't been hit since 9/11.
Ditto to all you said.
IMHO, Iraq is the reason we haven't been hit since 9/11. The U.S.-led invasion of Iraq has forced groups like al-Qaeda to divert enormous time and resources to sabatoge our mission there. By going on the offensive -- taking the fight to the enemy on the enemy's own home turf -- Bush has put al-Qaeda on defense. So, in a sense, Iraq has been a diversion -- for the terrorists who would rather fight us here than there.
Good grief, this guy can even pull the wool over the eyes of the washtimes. He's no apologist for Bin Laden? Then how come he favors EVERY arguement/policy of the Bin Laden apologists?
Unhinged is the operative word here. I've heard a few interviews and read a number of articles on this vengeful nutjob. This guy's ability to express opposing opinions in the same paragraph rivals that of the early 90's interviews of "Mad Vlad" Zhirinovsky. He insists he is no fan of Bin Laden then expresses admiration for him. He says it would be foolish to try and appease him then says we should do exactly that. The CIA's former Al Qaeda expert says the plight of the Palestinians in one of Al Qaeda's principal motivations and that we should abandon Israel in order to buy peace when even I know that ol' Binny never breathed a word about the palis until he saw footage of them dancing in the streets on 9/11 then belatedly paid lip service to their cause. He says we are not nearly ruthless and brutal enough in pursuing Al Qaeda but that everything we actually DO is completely wrongheaded and will only make us more enemies. It just goes on and on. I'm with other conservative commentators that it was out of pure political motivation that Tenet and the CIA establishment gave this clown the fast track to green light his incoherent screed to sway the election.
Scheuer is so over the top he makes grandstanding Jack Ryan wannabe (you should read some of the choice excerpts from HIS book) Richard Clarke look like the heart and soul of propriety.
That's not what Patty Murray says.
