...to gather information, to make something happen (BOOM!)... to thwart what the opposition is trying to do to us (BOOM! BOOM!) and to learn more about what they're trying to get from us (no longer at Gitmo)...(BOOM!)

More and more of CIA ops responsibility will we transferred to DOD with the ops subcontracted to US contractors until CIA does only analysis. At some point CIA will lose access to NSA intel and become an open source think tank, sort of an international affairs GAO or CBO. DOD will start to have legal problems and will swing out black ops units to an independent agency.

#4 Methinks the real brains of intelligence have realized, albeit almost too late, that the CIA has been too politicized by the Clintons and is too poisoned by self interest to give anyone reliable and accurate intelligence about anything except their own self serving attitudes, political leanings and self preservation/turf protection.

This is good news, the CIA is dysfunctional and incompetent.

Its time for the adults to take over kindergarten and give us some real intelligence and not the musings of some petty bureaucrat with a political axe to gring.

#5 DOD will start to have legal problems and will swing out black ops units to an independent agency.

They'll call it the Agency for Centralized Intelligence.

#6 #4, Rumsfeld knew that a long time ago. That's why he set up Doug Feith's shop, which was bitterly resisted by the CIA and the Dems and ultimately forced to close.

#7 Bush got a standing ovation upon entering the cafeteria at CIA headquarters. He spent two extra hours signing autographs and b.s. ing with ther operatives. Perhaps the CIA has changed a bit over eight years of war.

#8 That's a really good sign, bman. Not long ago the CIA was actively working to undermine President Bush.
