Thank the Church amendment for handcuffing the CIA all these years.

Just getting to the Church chapter in Gertz' Breakdown.

On the heels of Robert Baer, See No Evil: The True Story of a Foot Soldier in the CIA's War On Terrorism.

And a big wedgie to Robert Torricelli for his 1995 ban on hiring CIA informants with criminal or human rights abuse records.

And a noose for former-DCI Deutch who admitted he was "out to f--k 'em [the CIA]".

This Baghdad op goes a long way to gaining lost ground.

I'm suprised and gratified at how fast the CIA has been able to make up lost ground. Think what could've been done all those years that the cuffs were on. And think what would be going on if Gore was running the show right now. Dohh!
