Why isn't the CIA dealing with Bushco?

[mondo joe]

I don't mean the hierarchy - that was dismantled by Cheney already.

I mean unofficially, why aren't some agents who have been around and know what's up taking steps to deal with an administration that has turned on them? Why aren't there leaks of information?

1. Things that make ya go hmmmm...

:shrug:

[ananda]

2. would it be because of..

.. the Porter Goss purges?

3. who says they are not.

i suspect there is a lot going on that nobody sees.

[MajorFlaw]

4. Yup.

[Nay]

7. I always thought "yup" too, but now I'm beginning to wonder. Just

WHEN does the CIA think it might be a good time to expose these traitors??? in the next millenium?? The country's bleak future was secured when these assholes got a second term. Someone tell me -- just when does the CIA plan on rescuing us??

8. Has the revelation that Watergate was not the result of deep

investigative reporting but a backlash by the old guard in the FBi changed your thoughts about that event. Felt simply handed the evidence to Woodward/Bernstein. He was no whistle blower; merely a messenger. Catch my drift?

[unblock]

12. felt was deep background and confirmation only

guidance and support, really. hence 'deep' throat.

he didn't supply and evidence at all, as far as i know.

woodstein got all their evidence and original facts from other sources.

[MajorFlaw]

13. That is not how I understand it. After Hoover died, Nixon tried to put

his own people in charge. The old guard at the FBI resented it and leaked the evidence to hang Nixon to the presumably least likely source, TWP. The evidence which sunk Nixon was handed to WoodStein on a silver platter.


BTW, :hi:

[unblock]

22. definitely not on a silver platter

woodstein got rather frustrated with deep throat's lack of specifics. 'follow the money' was the famous advice, which did serve to keep them motivated and work in the right direction.

but for the most part, deep throat's main contribution was to say hey guys, look, there's something over there, look for it. i'm not saying what and i'm not saying who and you didn't hear it from me, but there's something there if you can find someone willing to talk.

'deep' background, hence the name.

woodstein were surprised that hollywood made him into more of a key component than he was.

oh and :hi:

[MajorFlaw]

27. I do not seriously consider the possibility that Felt, then the #2 at the

FBI decided on his own to leak to W/B. The convoluted meetings and deliveries of evidence to W/B required someone to be able to keep tabs on the comings and goings of W/B, including placing certain items in certain places with confidence that they would not be intercepted. The kind of stuff that only someone with the resources of an organization like the FBI could have done.

Face it, the revelation of the Watergate breakin was an inside job. Felt was only personally involved because he had a personal connection with Woodward; without that personal connection, W/B would not have been willing to trust their source and story. And, Woodward's original name for his source was "My Friend", which sort of resembles the initials of Felt and indicates his reason for trusting him. As Paul Simon wrote, "Why deny the obvious, child."

5. cuz their significant other would be 'fair game'

[ChiDem]

6. I truely believe ...

there will be some leaks coming concerning the 'fixing of intel' and DSM will be front page news again.

[mitchum]

9. Because they are just as corrupt as Bushco?

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

11. Looking for the CIA to save us?

:wtf:

The CIA is generally an Ivy League clique that bears little resemblance to Joe and Josephina American and has more in common with ChimpCo.

Come to think of it, most of the American power structure fits this model. :think:

[The2ndWheel]

14. It's the same as agreeing with Pat Buchanan sometimes

You die inside a little more each time.

[Jade Fox]

15. True, but I still think the intelligence folks.....

don't like presidents dicking with them. They tend to be around longer
than any Presidential Administration, and arguably have more power
than any President. I think their instinct is to clip any President that
gets out of control.

This doesn't mean they are good guys.

[Wapsie B]

18. I like your assessment.

[mondo joe]

24. But I'm not talking about virtue - I'm talking self-interest.

One of theirs was outted by Rove, they were scapegoated and taken over.

Our of their own pride or self interest, why aren't they doing something?

[many a good man]

10. Last summer was their big chance

before the election. In retrospect, I think they tried but the media wouldn't bite. The landscape is shifting now with the Plame investigation ramping up and leaking buckets. Maybe we'll hear from them shortly.

[cestpaspossible]

16. Because domestic counter-intelligence is the FBI's job nt

[napi21]

17. What makes you think they aren't?

I don't mean leaks from the CIA. Remember, this is an agency that operates covertly, and always behind the scenes.

I'm sure there a lot of people in the CIA that are really pi**ed that one of their own was outed, and I don't think it's going un-noticed.

I still say ShrubCo should be very concerned about making enemies at the CIA. If any agency knows where the bodies are burried, it's those guys, and I sure wouldn't want them on MY bad side!

[mondo joe]

25. Only the fact that not much has happened. But maybe CIA agents are

more patient than I am.

[DemonFighterLives]

19. Maybe we should ask Agent Mike

Agent Mike; how many have to die because of exposed CIA officers and how many of our military must die because of a war played off of cooked up intelligence. Dubya mostly gave you guys the blame for 911. Doesn't that piss you off? Cheney came to see that you guys would cook up some bogus intelligence for Colin to spew to the world.
Agent Mike, when you get a chance, could you respond here or have one of your minions do it.
We need the mess in Washington cleaned up. Thanks in advance!

[tnlefty]

21. *snort* I thought he was busy harrassing patriots who were

trying to expose election fraud. Silly me.

[bunny planet]

20. I think they are, we just aren't privy to what they are doing.

26. Checkoff and the dismantling of CIA by neocons

28. Because only E Clampus Vitus can save the 'agency' now....
