#1 This DOES NOT surprise me. Time is NOT on the insane and DEMONIC Mullah's side. They are facing extermination from their own people AND POSSIBLY even from us.

#3 Stunning - and the guy's going public against the tide strikes me, at least in this case, as substance behind the charges. This is the sort of thing that gives many of us gray hair - the sources are definitely there and available, but if the CIA is this far gone then lex has been calling it right all along: tear it down and start over.

Get a list of those who were forced out, fired, reprimanded, etc. - especially where prejudice was used, that's credibility considering the CIA management - we'll need a core of competence to start whatever follows on.

I don't predict it, but I would not shed a tear if down the road, after one of these attacks is pulled off successfully against us, Tenet got one behind the ear. I got that cold feeling reading this... maybe it's high time we got cold-hearted and applied some hardcore realpolitik to the entire class of Clintoon Camelot II holdovers - throughout the Gov't.

#4 I heard Michael "Anonymous" Scheuer on the Medved show today. He is a complete idiot-- more proof positive that the CIA is full of idiots.

Actually, it is WAY past time, high or otherwise. Should've been done a long time ago.

#7 The mullahs better think long and hard about their plans. Another attack the size of 9/11/2001 or bigger is going to result in a LOT of angry Americans, which won't bode well for the Middle East.

#8 Whosoever unleashes the nuclear genie will find their atoms scattered to the four winds and their homelands turned into green glass unless W goes in the attack.

I heard some of it. I think someone once used "hubris" to describe Scheurer, and he liked the word so much he decided to use it himself.
