Plenty good people working within these orgs, but hell - are they purveyors of the biggest load of shit ever and incapable of admitting error - in any way. |
Perhaps in the past there used to be checks and balances within the domestic and foreign intelligence agencies, but with the creation of the Homeland Security Department "end-around", the Bush Administration has stacked the deck with like-minded surrogates, while sytematically purging the FBI and CIA of people with differing ideologies (through attrition due to retirement, outright firings, etc).
It may take decades to undue the mess created by the Bush, Cheney, Rove crew, and establish some sort of balance again within our leading intelligence agencies, so that partisan political acts are mitigated at least in part, by some sort of reasonable balanced inquiry representing all of the people of the country, and not just certain political partisan viewpoints.
