Unfortunately, CIA reports tend to lack credibility these days. I think the comments by Major Bob the other day were telling.

Beginning to suspect that there are those in the CIA, as in State, Justice, INS, etc. that are determined to undermine the President with reports such as this. Keep the citizens uncertain and lacking confidence in the administration's ability to protect national security.

Where were these people in the CIA when it was clear that OBL was planning attacks on America........but then of course, a certain other president was in charge.
