And what has the CIA got right in the last 50 years. I don't think that the world is going to end if the locks on the doors to the whole place were changed on Monday.

Dear Big Dog,

We aren't discussing the entire CIA, we are discussing Kappes. You know what he got wrong? Not much.

The politicians make the decisions, not the CIA.

You know in those old Greek epics and tragedies, the prophet never wants to tell the king the truth about why the Greeks have the plague because the truth is that the Greeks have the plague because the king skrewed up.

Finally, the prophet tells, and the king gets mad at him.

And the rest, as they say, is history.

Murray is a selfish, jealous little creep.

So you know who to blame...and Bush, too, since he should have gone crawling to Kappes on his knees.

Too name two.

The thing is when the CIA is successful nobody knows it. It's only when they screw up that we find out.
