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.' "
I would add that the free enterprise system is threatened by a convergence of at least 3 insidious programs: diversity training, sexual harassment training, and conflict resolution training. The Corp. HR depts are now loaded with politically correct leftwing wannabees. In the outfit I work for, while our sales slipped and profit dropped, nearly all employees were herded through the above nonsense programs including roll playing etc. The goal was to create worker droids who never contest a company policy even if its wrong, while being obsessed with not offending the female gender, and singing the diversity nonsense. Only in America can this happen!
A Lawyer on Fox news last night, said the same thing.
It makes sence to check out every Middle Eastern person entering an airpalane, because the facts dictate that they are the only ones who are willing to kill themselves while killing others.
To do anything less is a risk to thousands of American citizens.
Sure, they might feel bad about getting frisked, but its better than another 7000 inocent citizens getting kill. At least they can live another day.
The stakes are too high to do anything less.
I would demand that 100 % Middle Easteners are checked out before entering a plane.
Apparently a lot of PC agents have decided on a new career as this minqual is being reinstated! They can go quilt some place besides the Farm!
This doesn't seem at all realistic to me, although I don't deny that it sounds like Tenet was sleeping on the job.
The diversity classes and quilts is dead true.
I have first-hand knowledge of this. I can hardly express how pleased I am that this thing is finally coming out!
Pieces of fabric were distributed to CIA employees on which they were instructed to sew, draw or glue art, photographs and slogans reflecting diversity themes dictated during mandatory sensitivity seminars.Can you imagine being a manager and having your staff say, Sorry, I need to take off an hour to work on my diversity quilt?[says an unnamed CIA officer] It just scalds me.
Here's the Insight Mag article your post refers to: Blinded Vigilance
It's worse than just a waste of tax dollars. It just got 6000 people killed.
It's OK to write headlines about "Islamic terror" or my favourite French example "God's madmen", but it's definitely out of bounds to ask why the United States is loathed by so many Arab Muslims in the Middle East. We can give the murderers a Muslim identity: we can finger the Middle East for the crime but we may not suggest any reasons for the crime.

It has always been like this. Do you think that in the days following the Revolution there were not Internationlists who saw America as merely a staging ground for attacks against "kings and clerics?" The tension between your virtuous republicans and the internationalist class has always been there, BelleDame. My heart is with the former, but when the entire civilization that the two sides have constructed is under assault from the outside, does it not make sense to postpone the internecine warfare?
