I have often felt that the most efficient government agency is the Post Office. Their task is open to the public, they have to absolutely every day, get their work done. The next best agency would be Amtrak. After that agencies get more opaque, hidden, un measurable. The CIA would have to be at the far spectrum. I know when I was in Special Forces none of the old NCOs trusted them. We, the gun toters, would pay the price, they would write the history. We would do the work, they would take the credit. It was common for teams with agency personnel to have code words and exit plans secret from supposed Agency friends. We even thought the higher ups would toast their own guys.

I know it�s not always true, but one of the things that got me about Tenet was his appearance. Fat, disheveled slob. Common on. And it was not like he was Einstein, but the guy couldn�t even stop stuffing himself, or get his suit cleaned and pressed.

But back to the CIA. Swartzkoph in the GW I said the agency intel was so qualified as to be useless. The Agency had no one in Iraq for decades. Not one stinking person. How stupid is that? But why should they, the money kept rolling in like welfare and Section-8 checks.

Then there was Director Deutch who like to surf Russian porn sites with his agency laptop. Casey with a brain tumor still running the Agency like a drunk Stalin in his last years.

But hey, trust them. Send the money, STFU and leave it to the experts. Right. Sure. Born yesterday.
