What Became of the CIA

How is it that America's intelligence analysts don't recognize harm and think bin Laden is "gentle"?

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The Central Intelligence Agency might be the last place in Washington you'd expect political correctness to have taken root. But as Gabriel Schoenfeld demonstrates in a disturbing new article, "What Became of the CIA," in the March issue of Commentary magazine, the agency has turned into "a government bureaucracy like any other, its managers and employees preoccupied with endless reams of restrictive regulations and simultaneously caught up in many of the newfangled pathologies of the American workplace," including affirmative action programs. Is it possible that in its zeal to promote more women and minorities, the CIA compromised its own mission? What role, if any, did affirmative action play in the spectacular failures of the CIA prior to 9/11? And what is being done now to undo the damage to the agency?"

But, in reality, bin Laden is a strategically astute "practical warrior"--as well as "the most respected, loved, romantic, charismatic, and perhaps able figure in the last 150 years of Islamic history."

This article paints the USA as the bad guy. This is why "America's intelligence analysts" "get no respect." Someone needs to direct them to FR and the TM thread for a tutorial.
