What you have written is interesting, but it doesn't explain certain crucial modalities. First, Bill Clinton was a foreign policy ignoramus; he couldn't find half the UN members on a map. So, who were his foreign policy advisors. First, there was Hillary Clinton and her leftist cabal. Second there was the lawyer Warren Christopher who wanted and got the State Department, although he too was a foreign policy cipher. Remember, he didn't talk to the CIA director in a one-on-one for more than a year and a half after taking office. The State Department wasn't running the show, and was of little importance until a Hillary favorite, Madeline Albright, took over.

Go back to the problems in the Balkans and the Dayton accords; by that time the Clinton foreign policy team had taken shape. They were Lake, Berger, Albright and Holbrook (General Wesley Clark was tolerated because he was from Arkansas, but when he screwed up the Clintons dumped him fast.) Lake came out of a left wing think tank and was friends with William Goodfellow (Dana Priest's husband) and with elements at the New York Times and Washington Post. Then, when Berger took charge at the NSC he had Richard Clarke (who was the butt-boy of Mort Abramowitz at the Carnegie Institute for Peace and former head of State Department INR,) and Mary McCarthy to work with, among others. At the CIA they had the Inspector General L. Britt Snider to cover any tracks that Clinton wanted covered. Snider and his successor seem almost certain to have leaked or turned a blind eye to the leaking that went to Dana Priest. Was this Bill Clinton's team? No. Was it Hillary Clinton's team? Yes.

Finally, has the CIA been politicized? Absolutely. How big is the left wing cabal trying to bring down Porter Goss? Enormous.

I agree with your post #119. This is Hillry's show and as co-president she planted the seed bed for her own personal rising star.

All these liberal mouthpieces are reading from her script.
