By the way, I love your handle. I think it was more than a few. All the articles I read and analysis by folks writing in National Review, etc. considered the betrayal of Bush to be deep and wide.

If it was just a few, the impact would have been much less. Remember the outright revolt of the CIA when the Bush administration tried to figure out who leaked damaging and questionable (as in value of analysis) documents? If the CIA truly is as conservative as you maintain, I would think they would have welcomed a probe, but the outcry was loud and made even louder when the Democrats on the Hill complained.

Good grief, the Washington Times did a series on the CIA as to what happened to the CIA and how it developed into an untrustworthy agency that threatened the nation's security.

I think everyone is aware that the military and intelligence services are more conservative than the population at large, but something happened at the CIA that I don't quite understand. Perhaps there are more conservatives than liberals, but it appears that the liberals have much much more influence and clout to get their way.

So now we have the situation of the last week that I now read that the CIA is hostile about the interrogation memos being released. I wish I could say that this is what they wanted and now let them deal with it, but it is too serious for such a flippant attitude. May God help us.
