What does number one have to do with the issue at hand?
As to your number two statements...it is the intelligence community's job to support Administration Policy...in the sense that they do not do anything to subvert Administration policy. It is also their job to provide the best intelligence possible...and seldom is there 100% agreement among the analylists of our 15 intel agencies...thus consensus comes into play. If an agent were not among the consensus and took it upon himself to attempt to subvert Administration Policy then he should be "purged". I repeat...if you think that all of the "liberal Democrats" are going to be purged from the CIA...you are foolish.
