Central Unintelligence Agency
How much more evidence do we need that the CIA is rife with partisan bureaucrats more interested in playing power games and forwarding their own political agendas that actually, you know, spying on America’s enemies and defending National Security?

Middle Class Guy, nice comment.

At the State Dept. someone representing a country, say Russia, is said to be the “Russian Desk”. As you would guess, often times the diplomats at a “Desk” would come to be advocates of that “Desk”. The old joke is that the State Dept. needed an “American Desk”.

The word out of CIA is that in a catch-up policy (of course during a Democrat Administration) to hire enough women, the floodgates were opened without the usual precautions. Word also is that this led to a layer of employees called the “sisterhood” which kind of rose through the ranks as a group assigned to Headquarters, not throughout the Agency. In addition, the word is that this was an unusually liberal group in contrast to the normal run of agents recruited from police, military, etc. Finally, it is also said they stuck together and thus were able to exert great influence on information flow and internal Agency policies. As a result, the CIA drifted left in its personnel staffing. So today, the entire Agency is far left of where it was a few decades ago. That’s the rumor anyway, make of it what you will.

I suppose anybody talking about such things is subject to the usual radical left sliming, so I am going to go put on my wet suit.

Some years back a pundit observed that the CIA and the State Department had more Democrats and Liberals than some voting districts. I guess it is true. The problem is that Democrats can never be accused of a crime if it is committed in the name of “justice.”

No penalty is too great for this treason.

So, just checking here–if Hillary Clinton gets elected, you’re cool with her having secret, unilateral, unreviewable wiretapping powers, right?

Could you be a dear and specifically state that?

“I hope they get to the bottom of this treason.”

Jay, me too. Honestly, I do. And I hope they also enforce the Constitution while they’re at it. Breaking the law is breaking the law and nobody is above the law. This means everybody from the ground troop who’s been entrusted by his/her countrymen with a security clearance all the way up to the President.

I agree with alot of what you believe, including the fact that the leaker needs to have their security clearance revoked immediately, and perhaps even jailed.

At least, that much we CAN agree on with this topic, my friend.

Godspeed, and blog ON…

Good on Goss. Time to call in a Special Prosecutor to investigate both the Washington Post and Senator Jay Rockefeler (D-WV) for their likely role in this despicable episode.

We are at war: If found guilty, Senator Rockefeller should face the firing squad!

Three cheers for Goss. Let’s hope he finds the liberal traitors breaking the law to try and gain their objectives, that they couldn’t at the ballot box, by betraying their oaths of office and their country.
A whistleblower faces the people he acuses. A leaker is a coward and a criminal.
