Baer is really an oddball, isn’t he? He kind of fits in the Larry Johnson (verging on Scott Ritter) category. The problem as Joe points out- is that when guests come on cable shows they’re assumed to be experts in their field. The public hears “former CIA agent” and thinks the guy knows his facts and probably inside info. Two days later a poll will come out reflecting the disinformation and bingo- the circle is complete.
In any event- good for Joe!
“The public hears “former CIA agent” and thinks the guy knows his facts and probably inside info.”
Often there is a good reason for the term “former”. The fellow couldn’t do his job.
