This country needs some pi$$ed off CIA agents to set record straight
Bush has sucessfully pinned the blame of his Iraq blunder onto the CIA. Now we have ex-CIA head George Tenet going around the country, making tons of dough berating himself and CIA agents in general for Bush's sake.

This is ridiculous. Apparently, Saddam DID have WMD, but he got rid of them or ceased production sometime before Bush took over the White House. So the CIA did its job; it's just that Bush manipulated CIA intelligence briefs to make a phony claim about Saddam's 2002 WMD capability.

If I was a CIA agent, I would not appreciate being made a scapegoat.

1. So Where Are They.????
It was said during the hearing that Conyers had last week that MANY very good people have resigned BECAUSE of this administration!

Now they just need to start spilling the beans. The TOP man to lead the way, a man who was once supremely respected BEFORE his appearance at the UN is Colin Powell! This is a man who holds many many answers and I feel it's about time he does his duty to his COUNTRY!!!!!

2. Damn straight!
We need more pissed off intelligence officials speaking out against the incompetence of the Bush administration, as Richard Clarke did. We need FBI agents, firefighters, cops, teachers, MacDonalds workers, people that have lost jobs to the ten year old Chinese girls that make the stuff that Walmart sells.
Damn Straight! We need more pissed off people. I sometimes don't think this country will ever get better unless it's taken to the brink of civil war.

4. Ray McGovern?
When did he retire?

Also, Karen Kwiatkowski is good to listen to. She was a high ranking officer in the Air Force working in the Pentagon (OK, not CIA, but she'll still give you an earful).
