Intelligence should be willing to talk to anyone. It's what they make of it that counts. Chertoff looks pretty reliable to me. I'd be a lot more worried if Tenet were doing this, but Tenet is gone, thank God.
I'd be willing to pay Putin to re-open the Gulag so we can send those a-holes from Guantanamo there, and any further jihad rats our boys catch. Let them send their complaints to the ACLU from Kolyma.
