President Obama needs to FIRE some CIA peeps for this eff-up...

[elehhhhna]

unlike Butch who gave Tenet a MEDAL of HONOR after 9 effing 11.

1. He needs to fire whomever was responsible getting the information

on the no-fly list. Could be somebody at State.

[elehhhhna]

2. whoever. make it snappy.

[Kahuna]

3. Right. I'm not trying to fight with you. Somebody definately needs to go.

:thumbsup:

[tabatha]

5. definitely

[noise]

4. We don't need to play the blame game

1)Everyone was at fault so it is pointless to scapegoat any agency or official for political reasons.

2)The CIA needs more funding.

3)As a country we need to move on. This near tragedy is in the past.

4)It is exceptionally unfair to criticize CIA officials who are doing their best to keep us safe.

5)President Obama should consider forming a bipartisan blue ribbon committee (chaired by Lee Hamilton) to look into ways of preventing such lapses from occurring in the future.

6. Damn

A breath of sanity.

7. His daddy goes to U.S. Embassy

to report his son. Embassy=State Dept.

[DURHAM D]

9. State Department = CIA (in many countries). nt

8. Has anyone been fired from the CIA anytime in recent history?

Just asking because I can't recall any.

12. Jimmy Carter fired the CIA director

because the CIA director refused to make needed systemic changes to keep a second Watergate from happening.

The CIA director, on the day Jimmy Carter was inaugurated, was Poppy Bush.

13. Gulp!

It's twisted, isn't it? Gives me the creeps.

[malaise]

10. Fire the Cheney gang

and send that undead war criminal to prison

[winyanstaz]

14. good idea...

[doc03]

11. I think since the Kennedy assassination

Presidents are a little wary of f----g with the CIA.

[jmowreader]

15. There's no way to fire Jim DeMint, is there?

In reality it wouldn't change anything, but him acting like an ass on the theory TSA might unionize if a Democrat picks the administrator...he must go.

[merh]

16. I'm hoping it makes him look into the CIA and stop

the nonsense of believing they are on our side.

They haven't been for years, decades.

Those that tortured need to be tried for their war crimes, those that ordered the torture need to be tried right alongside them.


The CIA has it's own agenda and it is not in the best interest of this nation.

[Thickasabrick]

17. I was really hoping Gates would get some heat for this and Obama

would finally cut him loose.
