#1 What black sites? Or do we have no need to know?

#2 We are closing black sites, a reference to secret prisons

The term of reference "black" NFD, in the context used by the DCI, may not be limited to "secret" terrorist hold sites. What we may be seeing is a reduction of all clandestine intelligence activities that were developed post 9/11, and a return to the pipe smoking, academic approach to intelligence of the Carter years. The mention of "black programs" or "sites" by the DCI is ominous.

#4 I wonder if there are any "right thinking" members of the CIA that will start to "share" information with the "right thinking" press like the Ivy League Leftist Cabal in the CIA did with WaPo/NYT/LAT? It will be interesting to what revelations will come out about the Obama CIA versus the Bush CIA. I say there will not be much difference just disappointment to his adoring public.

#5 "This country has to operate by a set of rules that are in line with our Constitution and in line with the laws of this country"

Does anyone in Washington even know what the Constitution says anymore? I thought is just said whatever they wanted it to say. So clearly the CIA actions are as Constitutional as they want them to be.

#6 black sites is also a term for a defense related institution with no external internet contact.

#8 So, if there is another 911 (God forbid), is the current administration going to blame George Bush?

#9 Why of course, their Black God cannot be at fault, no way, no way indeed, how dare you even suggest such a thing. (Etc)

PROOF, watch this vanish into the moderator chasm of dislike.
