2. Doesn't it feel a little strange to be rooting for the CIA?

5. What an apt way to put the feeling i've had about it too.

Feels strange but kind of good in a way, finally looking to rely on our CIA than being suspicious of everything it does.

3. That's interesting! I didn't realize

Bush SR campaigned for the Intelligence Identity Protection Act and also had a history with the Anti-Agee Act - the very 2 laws that could end up bringing down his idiot son. How ironic!
