Sorry - I just buy that think leftists have ever worked at the CIA. Disgruntled bureaucrats, sure. The occasional Aldrich Ames, sure. But liberals just don't join the CIA, nor are they wanted at Langley.
It's been my experience that all large organizations, whether governmental or in the private sector, can easily have all kinds of bureaucratic problems. That the CIA is more secretive than most may, however, make it a better candidate for organizational entropy than most.
YES! This whole story smells.....sorta like some crap spun up by dimmies for some reason I can't yet fathom.....but I can smell something rotten ... Just like the sabotage of the election process
When Clinton took office, he fired all federal prosecuting attorneys, paving the way for the HillBilly shenanigans during the '90s.
I have little info on what the Clintons did to the intelligence community but history shows they were isolated and ignored. The State Dept. was policy and the policy was Clinton's (whatever that was) and from Jan-Sept 2001, little had changed there. Remember the summer of 2001; Bush appointments were delayed, harangued and left hanging. The Senate was in the control of the Democrats. Summer break was a political tool.
After 9/11/01, Bush had to work with the crew he had and their loyalties are suspect and confused.
Hope for reelection and a Spring cleaning.
And GO YANKEES
Yeah sure right...The guys who blew so much fopr sooo very long and at such a great cost to the US are now bitching because they have been found out? How many more moles and useless lackies have to surface before someone calls the CIA and the FBI out for what they are...useless pieces of deadwood run by longterm political hacks
I should mention they Fxxxed the first Twin Tower bombing too. They can't tie their tennis shoes and chew bubble gum at different times.
I'd say it's time to order some polygraphs. Based on those results, can their traitorous asses.
Ditto. Thanks for saving me the time. ;-)
Seems fairly obvious to me. The CIA serves to provide the President with intelligence and to carry out covert actions at his disgression, with the advice and consent of the congress. People in the CIA are at liberty to disagree with whomever they like, they just don't have the right to leak, sabotage, or publicly disagree with the President, PERIOD. Those that have should be fired.
Elected officials are fighting bureaucracy throughout the federal government. They have created a monster that has a life of its own and bureaucrats can't stand the well-deserved criticism of their wasteful spending and incompetence.
America has a federal government chock full of buildings loaded with people who shuffle paper, play solitaire games on the computer and scratch their butts in a nearly infinite number of cubicles. The CIA is no exception. The CIA is like those giant high-rise public housing projects that become so rat-infested and uninhabitable, they have to be torn down.
Some of those people in the "house of mirrors" have long memories.

Instead it -- like any other such "central" independent agency -- creates a new goal: self-aggrandissment.
Particular goals become counter-productive to that main goal -- why? Because they restrict its operation, they limit its turf. Especially when they are goals within turf the collossus has already claim staked.
What does "central" mean" anyway? Only that any particular goal is less than central, any particular goal is always off-center.
That is, its ONLY mission becomes to battle for turf from anyone or anything. Until it becomes the true "center" of everything.
Back in '94, I was rushing to get paperwork signed by these bureaucrats so that the merger of two companies could occur. There was an anti-trust issue and these bureaucrats needed to sign off on the paperwork before I could submit it to the U.S. Justice Dept. The deadline was that day. It was hell.
The highlight was at the U.S. Dep't of Transportation where I had to wait while the gatekeeper to a bureaucrat sat and played a video game at his desk for about 15 minutes while I stood there waiting for him to take the paperwork to his boss. It was only when the game was over that he decided to acknowledge me and take another half hour to get the signature. There was no doubt that this was his way of getting back at The Man.
The White House, that is.
Bush pressured the CIA into providing false info on WMD. Shame on the CIA for caving -- but Bush has to go!
I'm voting for Badnarik, but even Kerry would be better at this point.
The "president" is not a dictator whose every whim must be "served." The CIA's first loyalty should be to the Constitution and the nation. In short, it should not provide false intel on WMD simply because the "president" wants it.
Really, it's the president, and the CIA, who are servants of the people. And as one of the people, I'm not at all pleased with Servant Bush's performance. I hope we fire him in November.
I believe that's also the way in Britain and France.
Polygraphs prove nothing. That's why they're inadmisable in court.
