While terrorists plotted, CIA officers were making "diversity quilts"

From today's Wash Times editorial questioning the fitness of CIA chief George Tenet, this dismaying report on PC run riot in the agency that failed to protect us from the WTC atrocity:

"J. Michael Waller reports in this week's Insight Magazine that, 'A current CIA manager [says] that intelligence professionals are forced to attend sensitivity-training classes and do role-playing skits to conform to politically correct social themes.' Another CIAofficial complains of spending 'countless thousands of hours' making 'politically correct diversity quilts.' "

Tenet will get us all killed. Dubya needs to put the fix in now, and I mean yesterday.

'politically correct diversity quilts.'

Nooooo. We really need to get rid of the idiots running this country. What is a diversity quilt anyhow? White, black, tan, yellow, white, black, tan yellow, white, black, tan yellow, white, black, tan yellow,......?

Can somebody get this news item to Michael Savage? I'd love to hear his take on it.

Well, we certainly have diversity. Those who like the USA, and those who prefer to blow it up, along with innocent civilians. Thus, my vote is to deport ALL of them and let God sort 'em out.

The CIA has been a joke for some time. They failed to predict the fall of the Soviet Union, they didn't know about the coup that got rid of Gorbachev. There was even one Soviet defector who, when the CIA gave him nothing to do, went back to the KGB.

If you recall that the second-richest man in America right now is Larry Ellison (CEO of Oracle, mad prophet of National ID cards, former CIA associate), you see what the CIA is really for, which is preening and self-promotion.

[Inspector Harry Callahan]

The CIA is the largest drug running organization on the planet.

So why doesn't W fire Tenet?"

It ain't over until it's over. My bet is that Tenet's out in 90 days or less...W just needs a good transition, which is now taking place, and you will see Rudy at CIA, or perhaps Condoleeza.

[ninenot]

Well, I dunno about W's family wallowing in Communism--although his love of 'Education' makes him a suspect...at the same time, look at Doris Meissner, ex-head of INS, today bleating that 'forcing aliens to carry ID cards is un-Constitutional, thus we ALL should have ID cards.' What a simpering snip b***h she really is. Obviously, another of X42's kept women.

. If all 19 of the terriorists were Arabs/Moslems does it make sense to look at female WASPS?

Your point was made by Chris Matthews a couple of days after the terroist attacks. It was during an interview with NBC's Forrest Sawyer, and Sawyer practically had a heart attack. He began almost shouting at Chris that he was being racist.

[Havisham]

The first family is knee-deep in the kumbaya culture which is the brain child of the communist movement. I guess it's a battle to the death, when I'd just like to enjoy freedom.

[billhilly]

Let's not forget Messner's great gift of playdo (sp)to Elian Gonzalez. She is a real lunatic.

[eastforker]

Remember,the fbi shut down an islamic ISP providor the thursday before the attack,could it be they stepped up the time frame for their attack to keep from being found out.

[Pan_Yan]

Why would Condolezza step down to run an agency a third the size of the one she runs now?

[Lancey Howard]

In short, it's time for Mr. Tenet to bow out gracefully. If he refuses, President Bush should fire him.

I thought that George W. Bush took the CIA seriously. His dad was Director, after all. I can only hope that he's taking his time dumping this pathetic clown Tenet and his "sensitivity traing", "diversity quilts" and outright failures, so that he can properly vet a real good replacement.
Geez, I knew Clinton and the liberals disgraced everything they touched, but what was their purpose in destroying the CIA by putting this politically correct buffoon in charge? You would think they simply hate America or something.

[ChemistCat]

...so that he can properly vet a real good replacement.

Who do you like? Suppose his papa would come out of retirement?

While we're dumping the CIA chief let's dump Powell too. I used to be his biggest fan. I think now his constantly cold feet are dangerous to the country. Has he embraced Alma's fears too closely?

Forrest "Gump" Sawyer is still around? LOL!!! He's the perfect mental image when you envision a 95 IQ lefty, always wondering if what he is thinking is acceptable, and figuring if he tilts toward Hollywood and the Washington Post, he'll be okay. A picture of guts he ain't.

Clinton’s first CIA chief, R. James Woolsey, tells Insight that Clinton almost never had time for him, seeing him one-on-one only twice in two years, and quips that Monica Lewinsky was with the president more often than he. Woolsey ultimately left in disgust.

[kcvl]

The hysteria was based on disinformation, given legitimacy by New York Times reporter Tim Weiner and others from the URNG camp, ax-grinders in the bureaucracy and Torricelli.
