Notice: The 
The Spook Revolution is Over
The Spook Revolution is Over. When the Bush administration wanted to go to war with Iraq, the CIA wouldn't tell the neoconservatives what they wanted to hear. So, Rumsfeld relied on his own spy ring instead. When that pretext turned out to be more fiction than fact, the CIA was blamed for gross incompetence. Many agents bristled at that, and so began a clandestine "war" between Bush and the CIA. The Spook Revolution has gone on for a year or more now, in the same way spooks always do such things--quietly. Now, with his "mandate" and "political capital," Bush is cracking down hard with a "purge" of CIA agents "disloyal" to his administration.
COMMENTS
Well, if the CIA spooks were quietly working against Bush for the last year, THEY FAILED MISERABLY. The moral of this story: career CIA insiders uncover facts (a practice that is not appreciated by a non-fact-based Administration), but for Covert Action, nobody can outdo Karl Rove.
Now, maybe some of the rich anti-Bushers (I'm thnking George
Soros or Michael Moore) could give these spooks jobs...
CIA stands for Central Intelligence Agency. Gathering the facts is what they do. Acting on those facts, well, that's what the administration is supposed to do.
They kept us fed with a constant stream of embarrassing facts, and that is a resounding success. Now, they're going to pay for it, because a non-fact-based administration has been re-elected by non-fact-based electorate.
