Must be the recently retired (fired) CIA agent who was leaking stuff to the Washington Post.

I have never seen such a concerted effort to destroy any President in my lifetime!

Not to mention "we the people".

Unfortunately most are protected by civil service as they are career employees.

Richard Clarke, muddying the water to distract from or at least crossfire the recent CIA firing, his co-fellow at CSIS.

And of course, based on the CIA's stellar record, GWB should have taken the information on faith. Yeah, despite all the other infromation to the contrary, watching the sanctions start to unravel through the duplicity of certain "allies," GWB should gamble the safety of the nation in a post-Sept. 11 world because one report of many said, "nope, no weapons."

Idiots!

I suppose that's why the CIA director at the time said it was a "slam dunk"...

Wait a minute; my recollection is that the former CIA Director Tenet, on the run up to the war in Iraq assured Bush ... finding evidence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq would be a "Slam Dunk".

They never stop, do they. This was clearly going to be the anti-Bush story of the weekend, day, hour? The media, disgruntled bureaucrats, and Democratic operatives were once again collaborating.

Then that pesky McCarthy story broke. Damn, don't you hate it when that happens.

The CIA?

You mean the same bunch that was leaking secret information in an attempt to undermine Bush?

Tyler Drumheller (the "retired" CIA operative and past head of CIA spying in Europe) has had an axe to grind over this for quite some time.

"....a retired CIA operative disclosed". Is this the same CIA who failed us on 9/11? Is this the same CIA who failed to notice that the Soviet Union was rotting from the inside when it completely imploded in 1989? Is this the CIA who failed to warn us about China stupendous growth and need for natural resources that will put both countries at economical and military odds? Are we still depending on the CIA and MSM to keep Americans safe? Why?

The Clintonistas in the CIA are smarting a bit from yesterday's firing, and hoping to mitigate the damage. Since we know what they're up to, I doubt every word out of their treasonous mouths.

The Central Intelligence Agency warned US President George W. Bush before the Iraq war that it had reliable information the government of Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction, a retired CIA operative disclosed.

Well, of course not. In the 14 months we wasted trying to get the UN to go along what weaponry that wasn't buried in the Iraqi desert was moved to Syria and Lebanon and buried. The Iraqi nuke scientists/program were moved to Libya, until Qadafy dropped dime on them and ratted them out.

Jeez, don't these guys pay attention?

Yeah, but in this case the guy is named in the article.

Nice try, no cigar.

I wouldn't be surprised. The media has used unnamed contacts in the CIA far too often.
