Nothing the CIA does surprises me after an episode in our department years ago. (I teach in a history dept). We had a female come in for a tenure track job who had worked at the CIA as an analyst. It turns out she was, without exception, THE most left-wing person in a 20 person department. If she was standard fare, there, then it's no wonder we got surprised on 9/11.
My question is how the hell do these traitors to our democracy end up with sensitive jobs in government? I wouldn't be a damned bit surprise if one or two of Osama's lieutenants didn't end up with posts at CIA or FBI headquarters. It's beginning to look ridiculous around here.
My thoughts exactly after I figured out who this woman really was! It's like, "Why don't we just invide the KGB to work over here?"
The author of this post either misunderstands or mischaracterizes Scheuer's arguments. I have read both of Scheuer's books. His point is simple: take Al Qaeda at it's word. When they say they will attack and kill, they will.
He does not argue that America's foreign policy is an affront against Islam. Rather, he argues that most Muslims actually believe that we are attacking Islam, even though he thinks that they are wrong.
Who can be happy knowing that the best hands-on-information about the goings on of Yellow Cake illegal sales is dependent upon former untrained State Department Employees who don't even feel it necessary to file written reports and then publish their assignments in the NYT? Despicable!
I have heard him claim to be a Republican.
And this is the guy the clueless O'Reilly gets on as his "expert" to comment on the WOT.
The CIA and Foggy Bottom are FULL of anti-Israel Arabist sympathizers. Scheuer is/was merely the tip of the iceberg of those in the traitorous blame-America first crowd.
bttt
Make that , read about the denial here.
Instead of firing a few Federal judges. GW should have fired a bunch of mid level left wing CIA folks at Langley.
Geez louise no wonder we are not doing well in Iraq and mid east.
The spooks are rancid in spookdom. Just another of bill 'the bent one's' legacies. To democrats, anything which assaults the opposition administration is fair, even the deaths of thousands ... the C.I.A. is more culpable in the 911 massacre than the public will ever realize because the media will give them cover to protect their beloved democrap party ghouls.
Gone are the days of Wild Bill Donovan, Gary Powers, Oleg Kalusky, and the other greats of CIA.
Looks like Johnny Michael Spann was the last of the true spooks.
God bless them. This once great institution is proof positive that liberals turn everything to manure.
Absolutely correct. It appears that his message is getting spunn and dis-regarded by the politics brought in.
As is ever the case, intel is subjected to interpretation. It is at this level that it begins to change to fit pre-determined theories and agendas.
In what way?
'..It's beginning to look rediculous around here.'
It's actually becoming very frightening. Considering the leftist media that supports the Democrats cause regardless of the damage done to our country or our military, the self absorbed, unpatriotic Congress whose primary objective, it appears, is to bring down the President....even if it means placing our troops and our country in danger and a large percentage of the American population that swallows the drivel they're fed or are too busy shopping for IPOD's, SUV's, large screen TV's....to pay attention to what is happening in our country, I am truly frightened for the future of our country. May God help us.
What I can't understand is why Bush didn't fire the whole bunch of them one day after 911. The whole country would have been behind him. The CIA failed the country and the leaders and key personnel should have been sacked. Period.
Then we could have reformed the place.
Bill Clinton
