11. You make a good point, but CIA is not a good guy....Cold War, Vietnam,
Clinton taking a fall for bombing "baby milk factory," South America and other parts of the world where agents were manipulated or somehow didn't see what was going on before things got so bad that genocide occurred.

I think there's been a history of "cherry picking" information by them before. It's only the the dedicated folks who work there as a "counter-balance" that have kept even a semblence of balance against what's always been "rogue" elements.

CIA should have "whistle blown" loud and clear before we got into Iraq.
The fact that there were some leaks speaks to some honesty, but the fact is we are now in the Middle East and hashing out who is responsible isn't going to get us out of there. It could all be seen as a marvelous plot where some folks will take the fall for it (and I hope he PNAC'ers end up behind bars for "treason" but in the end, we are there.

So there's much dark about that agency and we will never know more than a bit of it...Just my humble opinion.
