Margolis: Dubious intelligence
CIA enraged by cynical White House end-run around its sources

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- For the Bush administration, which has wrapped itself in faux patriotism, accusations that it revealed the identity of a serving CIA agent are a huge political embarrassment and another blow to its sinking credibility.

Last July, former ambassador Joseph Wilson IV contradicted President George Bush's assertions that Iraq had imported uranium ore from Niger.

Wilson said his investigations in Niger found the whole story was a fake, based on forged documents.

So far, CIA chief George Tenet has refused public comment over the attacks, but agency sources report him furious with the White House and its neo-conservative Pentagon allies. CIA staffers are waiting for Tenet to go public and take on the neo-cons who are trying to blame the agency for the fiasco they created.

1. I vote for a prime time
town hall meeting with Peter Jennings as moderator. I'd like to see the whole damn bunch speak up about the Bush administration.

....on second thoughts - the town hall meeting should be moderated by the cast of Friends. Then we'd know for sure the American sheeple were listening. :eyes:
