AFP - “I want to be as clear as I can about the threat we face,” Hayden said, saying the Central Intelligence Agency would use “every inch we’re given” by the US government to wage the “war on terror” and hunt down militants.
“We bear responsibility for standing watch on this threat,” he said. “Our nation is in a state of armed conflict with Al-Qaeda and its affiliates. It’s a conflict that is global in scope,” he added.
“It’s very hard to see this thing as anything less than war” criticizing the media for references such as a “so-called war on terror.”
The danger the United States faced, he said, was “more real than anything our citizens at home have confronted since our Civil War.”
“This is a form of warfare unlike any other in our country’s history. It’s an intelligence war as much as a military one, actually maybe it’s an intelligence war more than it’s a military one.”
Church newsletter — Meanwhile, in EdWorld, the mother of the Wisconsin bowler reported today that she only called the police in September 2001 on her son because while mowing, he carelessly cut down her beloved browned-eyed Susans the week before. She says that that she suspects the lady at the church bake sale to be an undercover FBI agent given that he didn’t seem to know that the walnut brownies should be priced higher. “This sort of sloppy priciing,” she says, “has cost the church a lot of money — COINTELPRO has resulted in a direct loss of coins. After 6 years of bake sales, it adds up.”
