#1 Mislead congress, destroy evidence, get promoted. Clearly in keeping with current agency trends.

#3 Whahahaha, yes Doctor. One of the key indicators of an organization or element out of control is when that organization views everyone as a potential enemy.

#4 Come on B, the CIA worked for the Donks during Bushie's administration. Obviously, they don't consider them the enemy. Just like DHS today. And hello to the DHS agent/program reading this now :)

#6 A beautiful example of how the CIA works with the FBI...not. Just sweep things under the carpet.
In his book, The One Percent Doctrine, Ron Suskind contends that Khan was planning to visit the United States in February 2003. 32 Khan had done so three times since 2001. The CIA contacted the FBI to ask for a coordinated effort to track Khans movements and contacts. An NSA surveillance program recorded Khans communication with other Islamic extremists in the United States, with clear indications of an interest in mounting attacks in the U.S. Yet, according to Ron Suskind, the FBI and the CIA were unable to work out their differences over which agency would accept responsibility for Khans activities if he initiated an attack while in the country. In other words, neither agency wanted the responsibility of managing a Secondary Mode risk. As a result, the FBI placed Khan on a no-fly list the night before he was supposed to catch a flight to the United States. U.S. authorities reportedly told British officials of Khans plans and the decision to place him on a no-fly list and forwarded a detailed file. 33
