This just in to Fox News....Jim Christiansen, former CIA operative just said on Fox News that the CIA was directed in 1995 to seek out Video Pirates instead of terrorists.

He stated that during a top level meeting in which CIA and FBI were present, the station chief said that all efforts were being direscted toward Video Piracy instead of terrorism. The station chief, when questioned, stated that the directive came from the DCI. Who, of course, takes his orders from the President.

From the CIA IG Report on Deutch:

1. (U/ /FOUO) John M. Deutch held the position of Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) from May 10, 1995 until December 14, 1996. Several days after Deutch's official departure as DCI, classified material was discovered on Deutch's government-owned computer, located at his Bethesda, Maryland residence.

"It was amazing how he traveled in one day from Australia to NYC when no air travel was allowed in the USA."

Bush wisely gave him a military plane to use for the flight.

Wisely?

Yup. A cheap, effective way to preemptively make him and his followers STFU about Bush before they opened their yaps -- and the last thing we needed was pot-shots being taken at our president in our country's time of greatest need.

Admiral James Woolsey was CIA Director during clinton's first two years according to his testimony to Congress last year. That means that Deutch replaced Woolsey!

The porno industry probably put lots of pressure on Clinton to stop piracy of their videos.

Geez, he was illegally copying videos too? Is there any law he didn't break at some time or other?

[Cooter]

If video piracy was indeed their new focus then I must say they weren't very effective at stopping that either.

[steve-b]

Outrageous, if it can be documented. Anybody have a source that can be referenced on the Web?

[w1andsodidwe]

I saw this also. We are now reaping the seeds of what was planted by x42. It is shocking.

[Cooter]

Remember the rumors about x42 succeeding Jack Valenti as the president of the MPAA? Quid pro quo?

BUMP!

This SHOULD be shouted from the rooftops!

[janee]

time for those who sat perched at the top to be held accountable.

the Clintons, and all those that lied for them and denied for them, share some responsibility. how much time was wasted on photo opportunities, self gratification, fund raising? it is disgusting - they were negligent!

we have the "alphabets" but obviously no funding available the last 8 years to pursue questions regarding "interested parties" wanting flying instructions. not illegal, but shouldn't the FAA have some interest in this activity - flags, now, from some of those schools. there was a job to do the last 8 years and it is a possibility that 6,000 are dead because leadership was squandered.

i beleive flight 800 was a wake up call - the egyptian pilot's suicide was an incident to note - the first WTC bombing should have prompted armed guards ON TOP of the building. there are armed security guards in nearly all of our office buildings, at all times, against intruders via the front door. a couple on top surely would have saved lives and billions of dollars. and John Doe with McVeigh may be more than one witness' imagination. terror comes in many ways and we need to have leaders who delegate and use all the technology at our disposal.

See comments on this related thread:

TOM CLANCY: First we crippled the CIA. Then we blamed it. .

The James Bond fantasizers are legion. In a war fantasy and unfounded pride are deadly.

We need intelligence, but not a CIA.

I agree, but wouldn't have before, except that Clinton's performances since have shown the wisdom of Mr. Bush's decision.

This sounds like urban legend to me. Got any source that pans out?
