The situation is much worse overseas ~
"I had hoped things would have changed but since 9/11 nothing has as far as how our country gathers intelligence. Our country still trusts and relies on foreigners and other governments for our own national security and that is what will eventually become our downfall.
The facts are that the "agency" has been seriously affected by political correctness and partisan politics to the point that is now more of a danger to us than it is a help. If someone is not 'on the team' so to speak and opposes what our country does, "hates Bush" or the way we as a nation are conducting foreign policy then they need to be identified and dealt with immediately. This is NOT happening now. When you have a career agent who hopes something bad will happen to discredit the administration so that George Bush and the GOP will be discredited and proceeds to leak information thereby with the intention of thwarting work that is being done - you have a problem. Even more so when you don't even realize it is happening.
The asumption seems to foolishly and naively made that we have friends and foreign partners who share our same interests. Simply put, We don't. Every country has only their own interests at stake.
Reagan taught us to trust but verify. That is kind of difficult to do when you no longer know who to trust and you have come to rely on others to do your verification work for you."
Spy was left undected by Clinton's team and was finally caught by Bush's team.
