Retards are making the CIA be very careful with their words ...
 

I can't believe the CIA now has to say everything so slowly and carefully ...

"Two U.S. intelligence agencies have made an assessment -- which officials stress is not proven fact -- that deposed Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein is alive and inside Iraq, intelligence officials told CNN. Intelligence sources also told CNN that the top Iraqi aide captured Monday is now offering some information. "

LOL, now we can probably expect a statement soon, that runs something like:
"Agents who may or may not be attached to the CIA confirm capturing a man (although he might be a woman) who may or may not be Saddam Hussein. This person was apprehended in a country believed to be Iraq, but there has been no confirmation of this to date."

If they didn't need their cocks stroked by the media, they wouldn't
have this problem. They need to keep intel to themselves until
it is solidly confirmed. The general media is a friend to none, and
the sooner government agencys realize that...the less PR
headaches they will have. Government business does not
necessarily NEED to be media business, unless using the media to
promote certain agendas is the goal in the first place.

Very sad.

It shows how political these "intelligence" agencies have become.

Damn shame.

Well, well, well ... mark it on your calendar, folks - I actually agree with Colin on this one...

kinad, anyway.

I agree that retards - although I probably would have selected a less sophmoric term - are tying the hands of the CIA.

HOWEVER - I don't think the retards are the people who are questioning Beloved Leader's misuse of intelligence data; his deliberate overstatements of rumor as fact; his selective hearing on what data he elects to pay attention to; nor his filtering of intellegince data through political hacks prior to it being presented to him (on the record, at least - a good son learns from the mistakes of his hero and the sins of his father).

Nope - I think the retards are the mullahs in power in Washington right now - the ones who can't find weapons of mass destruction that were distributed to the field level in a shadow army that evaporated in the face of U.S. military action. The retards are the ones who twisted the facts to suit their geopolitical objectives, and are now setting up some poor schmuck in the CIA as the fall guy.

But hey - we agree that they are retards at play.
