Another CIA Attack on Bush ..... Paul Pillar is the latest former official to seize the media spotlight by attacking the Bush Administration's reasons for going to war in Iraq. He claims the Bush administration deliberately cherry-picked the evidence from the Intelligence buffet of facts, potential scenarios and best-evidence findings. On the surface, it seems like Pillar should know. He was, after all, in the CIA for 28 years until his recent retirement, and from 2000 to 2005 was the national intelligence officer for the Near East and South Asia.In a carefully orchestrated unveiling, the Washington Post on February 10 broke the story of his then-soon-to-be-released article in Foreign Affairs, the publication of the Council on Foreign Relations. His charges gained immediate traction. Pillar went on CNN with Wolf Blitzer, and later on C-SPAN. According to the Post, "Pillar's critique is one of the most severe indictments of White House actions by a former Bush official since Richard C. Clarke, a former National Security Council staff member."......But when pressed, Pillar corroborates the Senate Intelligence Committee report, the Robb Silverman WMD Report, and the Iraq Survey Group report.

oooo... I'm sure this will put Karl Rove into a nightly sweat--not! What was this guy, a friend of Jimmy Caahtuh's from some boat in the '60's?

The CIA and the State Department is infested with people who think they know how to run this country better than the Bush administration.
Paul Pillar another anti-American piece of crap. Was he the one who allowed the terrorist to do their job? Sounds like it to me that he should be in jail for TREASON. Fire these left wing fascist from their tax payer jobs and take away his retirement that is paid by real Americans.
What really bothers me is that Pillar and his ilk were the front line CIA soldiers during the cold war. Didn't they learn anything then?
They weren't front line soldiers at any time, they were desk jockey's who made their name running others. He and his ilk should all be tossed overboard.
