More leaks to NewsMax from inside the CIA.
One official, we'll call him 007 for our purposes, said he was "impressed" by NewsMax's coverage of the agency.
NewsMax's Chris Ruddy first broke the story in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks that the CIA had stopped recruiting spies in terrorist networks -- citing insider sources "Roger" and "Harry."
That report was followed by more revelations about how the agency had become a model for political correctness -- the CIAD --the Central Intelligence Agency for Diversity.
007 agrees, revealing to us our "points on CIA environmental analysis were right on the money. Under Clinton, CIA spy satellite imagery was used to write special environmental assessments for Gore on sand turtles, dolphin schools, and volcano eruptions."
But that's not the end of the story, reports 007.
He notes how the current leadership of the agency was blatantly negligent about dealing with terrorism.
OO7: "The CIA treated counter terrorism as a 2nd or 3rd tier assignment from about 1992 until 9/11/01. Bill Casey treated it seriously, but the old boys at CIA disagreed. Reflecting the liberal internationalist bent of the DI(analysis office), the most prestigious analysis analytic jobs were following Western Europe and Canada. (Why do we even have a Canadian intelligence analyst? Why can't State do that?)"
More on Tenet: "He recently created a huge counterterrorism office and several days after Sept. 11 hundreds of analysts were assigned to it. This effort is an attempt to show that CIA is serious about the terrorism threat, but mostly to save Tenet's skin, as well as the many other senior CIA officials promoted under the Clinton admininstration."
Ronald Reagan's CIA Director, Bill Casey, had made the counterterrorism office a top priority, but his successors, including current director, George Tenet, didn't.
007: "Our terrorist office was a 'center'--the counter terrorism center (CTC). We have two other centers, Crime and Narcotics (CNC) and Counterintelligence(CIC). CNC and CTC were backwaters for years. When the FBI was about to arrest Aldrich Ames, they gave him a do-nothing job in CNC. This didn't help its already low morale."
End of Communication, 007 Out.
Who has a pic of President Bush putting his arms around Tenet last week?
CLEAN HOUSE.
While they watched Britney dance for a cola-drink, sinister maniacs are allowed to enter the United States and attack civilian targets.
Notice the use of the word 'are' for even today, Our Borders are not yet secure.
I pray for Our President, and Our Leaders, that they can turn this situation around, and put America first, instead of poll numbers and using Our Intelligence Community for a Social Experiment.
Please place Our Intelligence Community back into the hands of 'real' intellingent people.
Wait ... on second thought ... I'll just lose all respect for them, as I have for Lucianne.
Obviously the 'leak' never found out about this:
