Fun Comments Countering 'A Former CIA Officer' On ABC News Blog!
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2006/09/former_cia_offi.html#comments

Former CIA officer writes....

A former CIA officer with much counterterrorism experience writes:

"The bottom line for (ABC Entertainment's) 9/11 movie is that President Clinton and his lieutenants had 10 chances to kill or capture bin Laden and they did not take any of them. The 'drama' part of the docu- drama may not be accurate down to crossing the last 't', but that doesn't matter. The basic, indisputable fact is that Clinton and his people failed on 10 occasions to eliminate bin Laden and protect Americans. Most everything that has happened since May 1999 -- the last chance they refused to kill bin Laden -- has flowed from their deliberate decision not to protect Americans."

Discuss.

I'm a former CIA official with EVEN MORE counterterrorism experience, and I say that other CIA offical you quoted is a moron.
So there.
(I like it that ABC has replaced news with gossip!
It's SO much easier than finding facts!)

3. I'm waiting to see mine show up, too.

But since I pointed out that Disney tried to censor "Fahrenheit 9/11," mine probably won't show up either.
