| That is a total crock. Are you trying to say that throughout the period of influence of people like Henry the K, Alexander Haig, Rumsfeld, Scowcroft, Bush, Reagan, Nixon that somehow the intelligence community has been shortchanged, shackled, hamstrung? Nay, dude, despite the fact that appropriations are secret, the intelligence community gets pretty much whatever they want because they are if nothing else adept at raising bugaboos that may not even exist for the sake of filling their coffers even though time after time they are proven to be incorrect if not inept. To blame that on your "left" is pure BS. And your rhetoric is damn close to advocating the suppression of dissent. The rest of us live with people who disagree with us every day. If you can't do it, tough shit. |
