#1 So many topics involved... I guess 2 seem to scream loudest to me, anyway...

1) How good it is that Taylor's not in the position to keep up being one of the premier assholes in Africa (ZimBob's day will come, prolly from the inside). Of course, his replacements prolly picked up where he left off.

2) CIA, The Gutting and Emasculation of. Letting people who have no guts or vision run it, such as Tenet, after it had been thoroughly gutted and castrated by Church & Friends and turned into a pet leak headline generator, made it just this side of useless in many depts. The Africa Desk was prolly occupied by Roscoe Seat Filler III Esq, formerly State Dept CoffeeBoy.

CIA, DIA, NIS, et al (or the new NIS plan being tossed around or whatever finally falls into place as a structure) is going to need some serious money, total protection from politicians, and ballsy leadership to recover, else we will continue to be blind-sided Out of Africa. The resource riches are there. It would be great if they were to benefit the people of Africa instead of the thugs and asshats... no matter how nattily they dress up.
