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.' "

More Clinton fallout. It should not surprise any Freeper. The Clinton administration debased every single U.S. Governmental institution...particularly those whose mission is the external and internal defense of our nation.

AMerica is too worried about its own little f43cked up liberal world.

Perhaps Bush Sr. could come head the CIA again.

Last night, Matthews said that the FBI didn't even have an Arabic speaker on staff.

That's right ... nobody at the FBI speaks Arabic.

Resumes are now being taken.

I trust everyone had the pleasure of listening to President Bush's pep talk at Langley today? Apparently it was all a misunderstanding--a little matter of low self-esteem.....

...And rather than "rolling heads", we are about to witness a heart-warming head enlargement project.

And why not? Our children are the most ignorant but self-satisfied students in the world. The CIA must be made to look more like the country it does not serve.

There's a beauteous symmetry to it all.....

That is very interesting. Even I know a little Arabic. In 1956-58 I was stationed in Lybia at Wheelus Air Base. While there I took a basic course in classical Arabic and managed to converse resonably well for the time that I was there. Unfortunately, that was more than forty years ago, and I have forgotten most of what I knew.

"...Why are you so eager to declare defeat?..."

Declare defeat? I have not yet begun to fight. And when I do---watch out...

There's the spirit!

Thanks Uncle Bill. I owe you.

"This [pc quiliting] doesn't seem at all realistic to me, although I don't deny that it sounds like Tenet was sleeping on the job." B_L

I beg to differ. Professionals at the pointy end of the stick DID go through PC training.
Further, service awards were given based on race.
---To receptionists who did a poor job of fielding phone calls - "he done lef' out", instead of the party you are calling is unavailable at this time.
True and sad - according to my sources on the inside.

I have heard about this "diversity quilts" and sensitivity training bullshit before.
What amazes me is that at least one real man who refused to play the perverts' game hasn't blown the whistle and written a book about who was responsible for that idiocy, from the top down.

The whole subject is too absurd to even discuss. That our intelligence capability was non-existent for years is obvious by the mess we are in.

My question is: who are responsible and why are they still around?
