#1 I'd turn the job over to another agency rather than keep the CIA going as is, since it is concerned only with overthrowing one government, the one elected by the American people.

#3 The Clintons set out to destroy CIA human intelligence. Lets admit that they succeeded and start again. Elsewhere.

#4 it goes even further, back to Frank Church. Donks preening for accolades on the torn intelligence networks and agents who go along to get along. I would've cleaned house on the (unforseen) fall of the USSR, our greatest enemy at the time.

#5 Many of the agencies are going through an evolution to a more agressive, action oriented, organization. This is a different war, blaming it on the Dems, Clinton or Carter won't make it better. Removing or retiring those who will not flex and respond to the new threat is the answer. Throwing the whole org out and starting over will only fail. Our agencies met and defeated the worlds threats for the last 50 years, they will rise to this threat as well. Our nation depends on them and the real leaders in there know it and will never give up on the fight.
