Comment from the intelligence community on the routine betrayal of our country - Monday, September 25, 2006 9:25 PM

Comment submitted in regards to blog entry: Routine betrayal of our country`s secrets: the new CIA report---------------------------------------

Mr. Horowitz:

I`ve been a member of the Intelligence Community (IC) for just under 30 years. I too noticed the fact that individuals from the IC put their personal political views before the oath they took when the were hired.

From 1993 through 2001, there were issues I was aware of that might have been embarrassing had they come to light. I did not feel compelled to find a reporter (but then again (facetiously)where might I have gone?) and it no one else did.

Were I D/CIA General Hayden, I`d take a page from the Left`s book and conduct a rather exhaustive purge.

I think there are large segments of the CIA that cannot see the threats our country faces, primarily because of their left wing and I dare say, anti-American bias.

These biases are carefully concealed in intelligence publications, but they show up in discussion databases. Perhaps the most telling way to gauge the bias is by what reports are not written i.e. which subjects are taboo to address.

I`m not surprised that our fighting Islamist terrorists has made us more enemies. Seems to me that Islam`s 11 September 2001 attack on the United States brought a lot of fighters to our country`s side. If the pinnacle of the IC`s analysis is trumpeting discovery that our fighting Islamists creates more enemies, perhaps it`s time to find some better analysts.

One thing does perturb me (and a friend who is in the process of deserting the Left) is that no one on the Conservative side (in politics)is articulating the extent of the threatterror (suicide and remote-controlled) bombings, continued "random" murders by "disturbed" Muslims, and culmination in a (series?) of WMD attacks in the United States and how we should deal with it. We should not be waiting for these attacks to come to have a dialogue on how we should respond.

I am afraid that if we wish to prevail, we may have to return to the firebombing, area bombing attacks we employed against the Axis powers during WWII. I fear that only if we threaten the Islamic world with its very survival can we induce Muslims to control their Jihadist impulses. And if they cannot, we may have to at the very least consider some form of "Cordon Sanitaire" or a more dire solution that I hope remains unmentionable.

Keep up the good work,

What this NIE thing shows is that there are a bunch of partisans running key functions of the CIA, and they have an agenda, which BTW, apparently doesn't include getting useful intelligence.

I think it's time to close down the CIA. The military intelligence agencies do a much bettr job of getting intelligence, and we now have Negroponte's operation which is doing the central-analysis function that the CIA was set up to do.

I think it's time to close down the CIA.

Naah. I agree with original poster: CIA just needs to be purged from malfunctioning elements. No need to create Yet Another Government Program just to replace it.
