And it is pretty big. Both because it is happening and because Gates is talking about it in public.

The Bush admin has been at odds with the CIA, FBI and the services. The recent firing of the Centcom leader for not towing the Iraq line was just the most recent. They may be losing control of at least some of the Joint Chiefs, which is incredible when you think about it for the "Commander in Chief".

And to talk about it publicly... very weird. Imagine what's being said behind closed doors. Good thing we have an election coming up. If there was a terrorist attack, and they decided to postpone the election... a military coup? Just thinking out loud. That could NEVER happen in this country. The military ALWAYS bows to their civilian leadership.

But enough of this paranoia................
