Some left wing bloggers are making the point that if CIA personnel who are presumably trained to use firearms are unable to move outside the green zone without heavy protection from Blackwater security people, what does this tell you about how effective the surge is proving in reducing violence in Baghdad and elsewhere. Sounds like a reasonable point to me. Also the mere idea that the CIA which is supposed to be a secret organization can only conduct its business while travelling in armored convoys is also rather absurd. Any response?
