#1 More proof the CIA is hopelessly rotten. Much like the UN.

#2 The "supreme put-down?" WTF? This is actionable, if true! This proves even more that the CIA needs to be cleaned out (like the State Dept.) and quick! Hope that Porter Goss is taking this to heart!

#3 This was the pre-Goss CIA, though many of the problems from it remain.

And people wonder why they were wrong on WMDs ...

#5 That Karl Rove guy is pretty bright. He knew we'd have to have a base to attack the Mullahs, so that was the real reason we invaded Iraq - to get airfields right next to the real target.

As soon as Hilly, Billy, Johnny, Dickey, Joey, et al hear this, they'll see it as an opportunity to show how dumb W is and eventually get on board with the plan to punish the real perpetrators of 9/11. Maybe we could even get the "insurgents" to join us in attacking the old enemy?

Sometimes I wonder about myself...

#6 I have too question the time and evidence. We are near a HUGE national holiday and nearing the One-year anniversary according to the first sentence in the article. Also, no names from the commission, no names from the CIA, no date of WHEN the author talked to the commissioner in question, who's name we don't know. It all sounds shocking and detailed, yet easy to write up fiction. And do oyu REALLY think the commission would hold this back if they found it? This finding could make the politcal careers skyrocket. "The men who discovered the Bush Conspiracy!" That's what the headlines would read if they revealed it! I Don't think this is true at all.

#7 How would this represent the Bush conspiracy? If anything, it would simply serve to highlight the problems with the CIA that we've discussed before.

Moreover, remember how politicized the 9/11 Commission was.

#8 A lot of Air Force and Army photo interpreters end up in DC, working for NPIC, NISC, NMIC, NIMA, or whatever else they're calling the imagery intelligence fusion center there these days. They all have the same complaint: they report, the CIA "senior analysts" ignore their reports. The rot is in the upper levels, not the rank and file. Porter Goss has his hands full cleaning house. Condoleese Rice has a similar problem at State, in THEIR intelligence organization, as well as among the "senior management". The same goes for most of the other cabinet agencies. The entire Washington culture needs to be broken up and disposed of, but it's not going to happen until the people of this country decide enough is enough, and break some heads.

#9 I'm not too sure about the breaking heads, but issuing pink slips and promoting folks that can tell the difference between "actionable intel" and "intel to get promoted by" would be nice.
