I just watched a few minutes with Michael Seheuer on C-Spam. I really like that guy. He is the former CIA head of the Bin Laden unit and he always makes good sense to me. Michael Scheuer is a self-serving jerk. He deliberately tried to undermine Bush's reelection with his book, Imperial Hubris: Why the West is Losing the War on Terror , and has tried to blame the 9/11 intelligence failure on everybody but himself. He has also been an outspoken critic on our involvement in Iraq.
On Israel: "Surely there can be no other historical example of a faraway, theocracy-in-all-but-name of only six million people that ultimately controls the extent and even the occurrence of an important portion of political discourse and national security debate in a country of 270-plus million people that prides itself on religious toleration, separation of church and state, and freedom of speech."

I agree with kabar on this one, rodguy.
I think if you learn more about Scheuer, you will find him a very reprehensible sort.

I have no doubt that Scheuer said all that and probably more, he is sort of Imus-esque, sort of defies characterization or stereotyping. However I did like a number of things he said this morning especially about how tough it is when you have 20% of your espionage staff in the CIA as newbies.
But I have no doubt he has probably said the wrong things more than once.And good catch Kabar.
