laying the foundation for all those reports putting it all at CIA's doorstep
EDIT at midnight:

I watched/listened to a pound of shows today/tonight, and they're ALL lining up against CIA/Tenet
it's ridiculous
with Turner's exception, I haven't seen anything to disabuse myself of that proposition
feel free to tell me you've seen/heard/read mainstream dissent
I'll be ecstatic to be proven wrong
earlier euphoria has subsided into normal pessimism
breaking dam seems to be getting shoveled back up by the media hoes

2. Richard Clarke may be on, according to earlier DU prediction |
|
hope so......aren't he and Wilson pals?
just starting to read Clarke's book
whoever here said the first chapter is compelling was understating the case
reads better than any thriller I can think of....mainly cause it's fricking REAL

8. really......going to try to read lots of it tomorrow |
|
he's not that facile a writer, but how on earth could one ask for more gutwrenching subject matter
only a simp like dumbo could botch that one up
one thing.....reminds me....he paints a picture of chimpo wanting to get back to DC ASAP
disappointing to read that part....the only downer so far

did you see Pincus and Isikoff on Aaron Brown?
sounded like they were reading the junta's defense brief
completely blamed it on Tenet/CIA
no mention of end use/interpretation
OR the FACT that Tenet TOLD them not to put it in the October speech, but that Condi "FORGOT" about that when it came time for SOTU
can you please explain your derision here?
you don't think the media aren't behind the admin on this?
come ON?

so local news started late - at least that's what I was told when I called the ABC affiliate in Columbus, GA. I was in a pathetic state of panic when the news was still dragging out at 10:45 - kind of like a junkie in the early, nasty phase of withdrawal. I didn't realize how hooked I was on Nightline until tonight!

all of this on Tenet and the CIA, but do you really think the CIA is going to stand for it? Look for more and more leaks. It's obvious now that the administration and the CIA are at war with one another. The CIA will win.

Isikof/Pincus said Tenet didn't even ATTEMPT to defend himself in front of that Senate inquiry into CIA failures
didn't even TRY!
WTF is up with THAT?
I hope I'm wrong, but would you be surprised?

will the American public buy the whitewash. Most people are upset that Iraq is a cluster fuck, no wmd have been found, and the economy sucks. I also don't think that other CIA agents are going to put up with this shit. Tenet maybe... Look for more and more leaks.

"It's all the CIA's fault." That'll satisfy just about everyone who isn't a hardcore political junkie.
Once again, all the sh*t that SHOULD land right in the laps of the bushies, is being deflected by the lapdog mainstream media to the scapegoat at hand.
How many Americans are aware of the OSP, and their role in OVERRIDING the CIA on the Iraq issue? I bet it's less than 5%.
The whitewash keeps it simple, and that's all most people want.

The House and Senate Intelligence Committees are some of the only oversight We The People have over the CIA.

so far, Levin and Hagel are toeing the line.
disapppointed in Levin, who many thought would use the CIA as his conduit to really go after the junta
he's now blaming Tenet for tailoring intel to fit what he thought junta wanted to hear
what BULLSHIT....it begins there, but goes MUCH further!
not word one from Levin about OSP
HO
HO
HO
intel ho
lost much respect for Levin right there
do they have somebody from EVERYONE's family held hostage?
or what?
will someone comment on this segment, please?
is it me?

34. VERY disappointed in Levin! |
|
Letting the bushies skate, blame it all on Tenet. Absolutely disgusting!
But it gets WORSE! He's still pushing that god-awful recommendation that a whole new domestic super-intelligence agency be created. Both Tenet and FBI Mueller strongly opposed it -- well, now there's ONE down...

26. Clarke: Watch out to see whether unnamed WH officials say Tenet was pushed |
|
If they do, as he suspects they will, then we will know
Spend time with family means he was fired
Before Tenet we had one CIA Dir. per year
Protecting the Institution
Failed to criticize the Institution
Sometimes boss has to be critical in order to improve.
all very cryptic, to me...

32. Sally Quinn was pretty interesting |
|
Endorses speculation about threat to his family, although she implies that the threat is from terrorists.
Says that he was tired of taking the fall for Bushes.
Says that career CIA take note, and that it is a mistake for admin to be disparaging Tenet now - they will regret it.

WHEN are they going to raise their fearsome heads?
everybody keeps saying, to the point of annoyance, that they're going to GET these foul swine someday
well.....WHEN?
they remind me of the Achordate Party
starting to remind me of the Kerry campaign
when are THEY going to start running some heinously effective negative ads, like the nazis are doing?
