It doesn't help that the CIA is packed to the gills with liberals that would love to see the War on Terrorism fall flat on its face. To that end, the CIA is happy to make a few mistakes and look dumb for a day. Then they can turn around and blame it on White House pressure to capture suspects and Bush is the one who gets hounded mercilessly for the rest of his days over it while the CIA director gets a few bad editorials in the Sunday paper.

Funny how these stories were never out when Bubba was president. The CIA and FBI were running interference for all kinds of domestic and foreign policy adventures that he was into but the newspapers barely said anything, except to paint the critics as nutcases. The only critics of Waco, the Oklahoma City bombing, and Clinton's shifting of classified material over to Commerce so that it would no longer be classified, were conservatives in the non-traditional media who were roundly touted as whacko hate-mongers who were just out to create any scandal possible against Klinton.

Ambassador Daniel R. Coats carried instructions from the State Department transmitted via the CIA's Berlin station because they were too sensitive and highly classified for regular diplomatic channels . . .

But not to sensitive to leak to fifth columnists in the Washington Post. Personally, I think everyone above the level of secretary in the CIA should be fired, then asked to reapply. Rehire only those with clean background checks, exncluding any with checkered history of working on behalf of fifth columnists back in their college days.
