Pelosi cares about only one thing - Nancy Pelosi.
The writer made a good point about humint. It is necessary, we can’t learn everything from sigint and imint. The CIA was criticized for “allowing the 9/11 attacks” - but they had no one on the ground, no one to penetrate Al Qaeda. Terrorists don’t paint signs on their roof and tent tops saying “TERROSIST”. Cell phones can be listened to - if they can be identified.
We had no one on the ground when we went into Iraq - they had to depend on other agencies and dissident groups for information.
Politicians don’t like spies; after all “Gentlemen don’t read other gentlemen’s mail”

“...the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives and third in line for the White House undermining the security of the United States for personal political gain.”

Actually, there’s very, very little most politicians won’t do for personal political gain.

“I am appalled to see the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives and third in line for the White House undermining the security of the United States for personal political gain.”

With the exception of Dems who have leaped to her defense, everyone’s appalled, but no one is surprised. This wasn’t exactly out-of-character behavior for Pelosi.

All these calls for waterboarding Nancy Pelosi... are so lame!

Start pushing needles under her fingernails... then heat them with a cigarette lighter.

Now, that's torture... Nancy can appreciate!
