It's "bureaucrats" like this guy at CIA that were as surprised as the rest of America on the morning of 9/11. Perhaps if HE had done his job better, we wouldn't be in the mess that he himself outlines.
My criticism of the writer, and the CIA may not be "fair", but it is only as fair as his critique of the Military. Mr. Edmonds should not sleep at night after he cashes his CIA retirement paycheck -- he evidently did little to earn it.
That's called prima facie evidence.
