#3 This shit has gone far enough ! First, defund the CIA, next, inform each overt CIA person that they will pass a lie detector in order to receive any retirement benefits. Once we have an outline of who 'leaks' politically convenient info to the MSM, we start digging in earnest and stand the guilty before the firing squad. Anyone who decides to take the fifth amendment, Gitmo awaits.
If innocent, they have nothing to fear, but if they are or were playing politics fast and loose, make an example of them.

My exit question is;
Can anyone tell me one GOOD reason for an intelligence agent to undermine his president, and his country ?

#4 Russian Military Intelligence, which used to be called the GRU, would show its operatives videos of GRU men who had betrayed the organization. These videos showed them tied to stretchers, fully awake and alert, being shoved head first into a large incinerator.

#8 Can anyone tell me one GOOD reason for an intelligence agent to undermine his president, and his country ?

I can give you 3 reasons (none good but rational):

1. He/she is a partisan democrat (this has already been shown to be true)
2. They are on the payroll of the NYTs and WaPo and New Yorker
3. They hate Bush.

Its all about Bush.

#9 If that's their reasons then they have earned a trip to the wall blindfolded.
It certainly is an insult to us taxpayers to pay them and allow them to retire to Pleasantville for a job well done.
Kill them.

#10 How many years have I been telling the Burg about this stupid "Old Boys" network in the CIA that is responsible for failures - and yet manages o use the press and leaks to shift the blame? Now its coming to light. Now you see how 9/11 happened (Tenet's buckpassing moron club), and why the intel system is so damn disfunctional (so risk averse they called off ops that may have prevented other casualty events)- a good chunk of the IC is LYING to the command authority to protect their ass or else for political gain.

Bastards. They should not be shot, they should be bayoneted.

#11 Yup. OS has lots of told-you-so chits built up. I suspect the upshot of this will be that in a few years the Director of Central Intelligence will be renamed Director of Open Source Intelligence as the CIA is walled off from classified information. Then it might be spun out and sold to the Brookings Institution.

#12 As a lurking, low-functioning DON drone, I have to say that it was perfectly evident to me 6 years ago, that the CIA had become radically politicized; most likely at the -15/SES level. This is untenable and totally demoralizing. These money-grubbing, ego-tripping traitors need to be taken out very unceremoniously. I'd love to support that "effort"...

PS: "BREACH" (FBI, not CIA) is a DVD that deals with FED ego issues like nothing I'd seen before. I was surprised to learn that I wanted to watch it multiple times. That's SO not like me.
