After many months of careful consideration, I've come to the conclusion that the CIA policy on keeping your fucking pie-hole closed sucks!

I'm starting to wonder if we'd be doing better in the arena of global intellegence if our CIA was working for someone else. I mean, officially, not like they are now.

Who would have known the lefties were right about the CIA being so dangerous. They are dangerous because so many of them have that leftist bias.

I wonder if they will just take on new cases or look back to, say, a year or two ago. Anything else would just look partisan, vengeful, petty or what have you.

One of the reasons I like to swing by here is to be informed that the CIA -- the same CIA that produced instruction manuals on terrorism and torture for use in Central America to maintain repressive rightwing govts there -- is actually leftist.

Leaks aren't anywhere as new as some believe. But there does seem to be an unprecedented number of cases of the executive branch claiming unprecedented, likely illegal, powers.

In other words, there is much more to whistleblow about.

Here's an international example you may have heard of. Turns out it was British MP's who spilt the beans about Bush wanting to bomb Al-Jazeera -- if indeed that's what he wanted. Who can tell with Bush?

But I bet it took some heated passions to drive the MP's to this. They believed it.

Yup, tubby, British MPs and the House of Commons have long been considered the place for calm and reasoned discourse. We've never heard of riots or other rude behaviours there. Those Brits are just sooo civilized.

It reminds me of last seasons Dr. Who, their was an episode where the UK needed to use nuclear weapons. So what did the PM do? Push the button? No, he begged the UNSC for permission first. National soverenigty means begging the French for permission before an action first, at least according to the Beeb.

But still, even if we accept the Guardian at face value (ha!), assume that this isn't a manufactured document like the DSM, and just assume that Bush just wanted to bomb Al jazzera with no justification (as your article was on the leak case, not the original leak). So what?

Should we have left Tokyo Rose and Axis Sally on the air also in your opinion? Does your Queen owe Lord HawHaw an apology? Al Jazeera IS Al Quiada's propaganda arm, far more than the stringers AlReuters uses. I see no reason why they should be left off the list of military targets.

Clinton purged career officers and put his lackeys in, just as he did at Justice, WH Travel Office, US ATTy's etc.

Furthermore, those priors that remained are likely to either be Arabists or Paleo-Cons. No love for neo-Conservatism in that old bastion of harsh realism, i.e. Michael Scheuer..

look, i have no pithy taunt for you wingnuts to address/ignore. it's obvious. there's a law. there's an action. there's a conflict.

i just want to bless tubino for its inhuman patience and perseverance .

there's no corruption quite like republican corruption.

Yeah! this is the shortest trolling ever then
it's obvious. there's a law. there's an action. there's a conflict.
Unless of course, your opening line was a lie...
A law? Which one could you be referrring to?
That whole no rape law? The no campaign donations from foreign countries law? Violating FEC reporting contributions?
And actions were taken in conflict, so how do we resolve it? While HILLARY! has been fined for her FEC violations already, are you proposing we lock up Sad King Billy? That's just soooo '90s. Move-On(tm) man!

"Blessed are they who shall repeatedly bash their heads into a brick wall, for their stupidity will provide much entertainment for the childrens"-either Thomas Jeffereson or Jesus, can't find the original source. Maybe the apocarypha.
there's no corruption quite like republican corruption.
As opposed to selling missile technology to China?
Passing out pardons for quick cash?

Don't worry about it, the scary man has gone away. If he gets his wish to become UN head, he makes the UN even more irrelevant than before (how much further could it sink?)
And Dick Cheney plans on making a pet out of Hillary! and giving her to his daughter, so she's not a worry much longer.

Most CIA analysts, with the exception of Pruitt, of Rantburg are liberal, Ray McGovern and the Christison clan, of VIPS are typical, if an extreme example. Operations officers are more mixed; Vince Cannistraro, one of the Plame fame club, was
so right wing that he prevented any oversight of the Afghan
program; according to the Wilson biography, including the faction that would provide Osama with the most recruits. Paramilitaries, who are often former Marines or Special Forces, are more than likely conservative. Most of those
outspoken fmr officers, tend to be either liberals or a very 'realist' type that sees the Saudi and the Baathists as the \best option.

As they said in WW II LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS they should keep is down
