#3 An agency report warns the Trump administration that designating the MB as a terrorist group might drive them into the arms of AQ and ISIS?

I thought they were already designated as a terrorist group? Do they not provide material support of Muslim terrorist groups? We have some weak-kneed sisters in Washington.

#6 I suspect the CIA is controlled by terrorist organizations as they claim anything the US does except rollover and die, increases extremism. Heaven forbid we actually fight back.

#7 If it helps, think of the CIA and Foggy Bottom as something akin to 'big pharma.' Curing the ailment is seldom the goal.

#10 The CIA has published an analysis claiming that designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization could "fuel extremism,"

This study is only valid for even days. For odd days, the opposite is true.

#11 'Moderate' is a relative term.

#12 Prosecute the leak.

And the next one. And the one after that.

This shit has to stop.

#13 "Moderate" means they have degrees from the proper universities, sport bespoke suits with the ties correctly knotted, and are generous to their friends.

#15 Gah! Tap -> Tank.

#16 Question, if EVERYTHING fuels extremism perhaps that is the default setting.
