DCI Slams Scarborough Book
CIA Director of Public Affairs Mark Mansfield issued the following statement today:
We generally don't comment on books, but we have departed from that on occasion, and have decided to do so in connection with Rowan Scarborough's new book, "Sabotage: America's Enemies Within the CIA."
I hate to sound like DU, but that convinces me the book may be true and must be worth reading.
CIA employees work very hard to protect their fellow citizens and to help keep America safe.
Even that Aldrich Ames guy?
They take great pride -- and take great risks -- in serving our country.
Like Val Plame?
They know that the intelligence they collect, analyze and deliver to policymakers, diplomats, law enforcement officers, and military commanders makes a difference, each and every day.
If anybody can read it wothout laughing.
The premise of Mr. Scarborough's book -- that CIA employees are working to undermine our government -- is both ridiculous and offensive.
This convinces me the problem is at the top. Fish rot from the head.
