Ex-Spies: CIA Workers Outraged

NEW YORK, July 19, 2003


(CBS) Before the bombs fell on Baghdad, there were analysts inside the American intelligence community who were troubled by the U.S. case for war, reports CBS News Correspondent Jim Acosta.

Raymond McGovern, a former CIA analyst and supervisor, says, "Never before in my 40 years of experience in this town has intelligence been used in so cynical and so orchestrated a way."

McGovern is one of several retired intelligence analysts who say they are speaking out for those who can't inside the CIA.

"The Agency analysts that we are in touch with are disheartened, dispirited, angry,” he says. “They are outraged."

1. Brilliant bush/rove strategy

GET A BUNCH OF SPIES PISSED AT YOU. God knows what those guys know about whom. Anyone with a conscience is pissed at bush and unfortunately for him, more people every day are developing a conscience.

2. Maybe these guys have friends in the Senate

Maybe their outrage can be passed to our legislators!
