“They can’t be fired. Only more can be hired. Neither can the Congress be fired. They have blank checks to hire purple-red-brown shirted goons to win every time.”

And Gates just Federalized over 40,000 former contract employees.

All 1.8 million Federal Bureau-rats, including Langley, are useless slackers making double the same job descriptions’ salaries in the no-longer free market.

They spend most of their time decorating their cubicles for the next holiday (halloween, T’giving, Xmas, Valentine…), inventing new wallpaper for thier PCs, playing internet, texting dirty, planning their next pornoparty and fantasizing about the dark forces surrounding them in the non-government world outside.

They can’t be fired. Only more can be hired. Neither can the Congress be fired. They have blank checks to hire purple-red-brown shirted goons to win every time.

CIA: who can be serious about them?

Langley is about as useless, these days, as a string bikini in a blizzard.

Isn’t that the bottom line of that outfit?

Hmmm, approval rating at 42%. Attack the CIA. Attack the American voter. Spend $9T on his buddies. Fire every IG in site. Hire a bunch of tax evaders to run the Treasury, for a Ways and Means chairman who doesn’t pay his taxes either. So that’s ‘change’ is it? Well we may have a few out there experiencing buyer’s remorse? Certainly sounds like a plan for success.

@13, Guvinoff,
Normal Ouija boards like EBay’s are text-only, require two operators and a lot of beer… Now, Ledeen’s… Heh – That sounds like a transistorized, super-het unit. Wouldn’t surprise me that damned thing’s stereo-capable, too. [I'll bet it's an Olivetti he picked-up on a sidewalk in Naples.]

Speaking of sidewalks of Naples… I can’t help but think that administrative bloat and O/H legalese in the “professional” outfits gives the one-man & one-gal operations genuine operational advantage on a dollar-per-datum level. Given that the “advantage” of official support is about to be yanked from a few people, anyway, what’s the upside to joining a GM-like source for intelligence work? Dunno, I’m just wondering if there’s a lucrative boutique free-range alternative to the big vertically integrated farm models. On the other hand, I haven’t a clue how quality control or risk-management is handled. But given how the CYA has morphed into the “intelligence” wing of the Democrat Party… there has to be a better supply model?

I think the CIA just needs a clearer mission statement regarding its philosophy and purpose, and then should try to maintain it as administrations change. In addition to its spy games, it seems to be overly accepting of tasks that would make a Mafia hit man hesitate. There are enough smaller black ops departments to quietly go about things best not known about if they are seemingly absolutely necessary (which I’m always skeptical about), but the CIA is a high profile agency like the FBI. Unlike the FBI, however, who are easy to portray on TV and film as the good guys for pretty good reasons, it’s way to easy to show the CIA as just the opposite, and unfortunately again for pretty good reasons.

Yes, the CIA still trying to prevent you from doing anything against the mullahs repressive regime.
It was a big wrong from Mr President Bush to award Mr George Tenet the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Mr Tenet does NOT deserve this kind of great medals, rather he just deserve the medals of tyrannized regimes.

#14 Rashputin:
“First, if they had tried at the time they could have pulled it off, Clinton would have imprisoned them and freed Osama. The FBI and Go Relic were in charge of the Osama law enforcement problem, not the CIA”

Ah yes…”G-Men Abroad” I’ve always wanted to see Efrem Zimbalist Jr. dubbed into Farsi.

(Did I just show my age?)

And Gore-Lick gets punished by being put on the 9/11 Commission, where, (sur-prise! sur-prise! sur-prise!), she finds that she was not AT ALL at personal fault for anything.

“Second, Osama is in a solitaire cell in Texas singing Methodist Hymns, and is now a staunch Calvinist. Two teenage girls in GA saw him buying scented candles at Richs’ in Atlanta and turned him in for the reward. The story broke in the Atlanta Urinal-Constipation on page nine, shoved aside by the news that Obama settled on which dog to buy.”

Have you ever heard “Hand of The Almighty” by
John R. Butler?

If you have any skeletons in your closet, you don’t want to piss off the spooks.

Eric Holders Justice Dept has released New Black Panther Party thugs even after they intimated voters.

Rewind- 1999

Holder was also involved in Clinton’s decision to reduce the criminal sentences of 16 members of the Boricua Popular Army, an organization that has been categorized by the FBI as a terrorist organization. In July 1999, A month later, Clinton granted the clemency. According to The Hartford Courant, the clemency was unusual because it was opposed by the FBI, the federal prosecutor and the victims. According to the newspaper, it was also unusual because, before the commutations, the Boricua Popular Army members were not required to repudiate their actions, and they were not asked to provide any information concerning the whereabouts of Victor Manuel Gerena, a co-conspirator and one of the FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives, or the millions of dollars stolen by the group in a 1983 robbery of Wells Fargo in West Hartford, Connecticut.

I think the guy is mentally challenged.
