Just such a shame that Anthony Lake put Baer on the hotseat... Lake was(is) a weenie..

I still remember a buddy of mine with State who was involved in the Haiti fiasco... He was disgusted with Lake's policies...

I also watched that History Channel expose.. Funny thing is that Bob Baer definitely reminded me of this guy I knew who worked for Diplomatic Security.. Very straight up, down to earth, and introspective... Hardly the "cowboy image" that everyone else saw them as..

The CIA has really gained a reputation for bureaucratic lethargy... The real action (if we can call it that) is with DIA, where they have access to military units..
