Demand an investigation...well I never...Missy...have you not heard what Cheeny told Sen.Leahy???

What is written in this story seems to be reflected of cover up chasing..not even worth relating to..As a military retire Now..after all the cover-ups I was hit with for racism..I believe nothing in this report does any good..When 9/11 took place, I am pleased that we did what was dire necessity for this country..but there is more to the stories infrastructure..seems rhetoric in small glumps..pay complete attention ABC you will discover that this is done...What happened in lieu of others I question..for our country has become very well conceived in corruption in our own territories..the law is no longer of God..the schoold reflect no God..and attorneys are the worst I have ever come across..they are the soldiers of money power...at my age I have learned you respect that which you think is good but you find out betrayal was manipulation of hoods...Apache

"DICK"-n-BUSH do not give a rats behind for law's or what is right of wrong. Only what suits them and their crime families.What ever is needed to keep both of them out of a federal prison in a couple of years.They better be careful too or "DICK" will burn the whole building down next time he has a fire in his office.379 more days left of this criminal enterprise.

Well, I think that Rep. Harmon had a valid request in many ways, if only the "case officers" were not "Military Intelligence Officers." MI officers are are bound by codes and laws that have mottos like duty, honor, country or honor, courage, commitment. Most people look at the problems of intelligence through the lens of the military and military types of experiences and anecdotes when the experiences of case officers are far different experiences than those of MI Officers.

Lets not forget that we fund the CIA to send people oversees to infiltrate, exploit and turn (make them betray their allegiances) foreign agents. Infiltration can be a messy affair, one on this path may end up drugged and in some rather compromising photos, say doing something illegal, or immoral with an underage prostitute (working for a hostile intelligence agency) for example. I know what you are thinking that should never happen and it shouldn't, but it is my understanding that it does and has happened. Some organizations are known to have drugs that stimulate extreme arousal (something like Viagra, but also disorient) in ways that will compromise a foreign intelligence officer. This is what I call putting the zap on your head. It is isn't easy to turn a US intelligence officer, but the tradecraft of some hostile intelligence organizations is less than palatable to the public. The reason case officers often don't talk about their experiences is that they fear the past. We fear our own people in that they might turn on us at some point. We are after all just pawns with little power and money beyond the paltry salaries and retirements that we earn.

We are asked to go overseas and pick metaphorical pockets and that is usually illegal. The country backs our actions and has always supported our people when they came home from distant lands after the country asked the impossible under the most austere conditions. I like to think of intelligence gathering as something akin to cloud computing, you get the product, but you don't need to know how it is collected. You just have to trust us. Give us parameters to operate in and we are bright people who can accomplish important tasks.

It is better that way. You probably don't want to know anyways.

I seem to recall that members of congress were so worried about the FBI working with the CIA they put in place barriers to "SAVE US". Did these actions help stop the 9-11 attacks?
Seeing congress go after the CIA may make them feel good-I ask what damage will come about after we stop means to get all available intell. I guess it is better to lose more lives in the USA than make them give us the information that causes them some discomfort.
Good luck congress - I hope you "FEEL GOOD"
