I will tell u why,Because as much as the Anti patriotic, Communist and Left wingers hate the CIA , it is not the devil, it is an institution that made mistakes as all human do, but it is one of the many reasons For a Great, Free,Moral, SuperPower Democracy's existence. and most of CIA members are patriots that do their job or risk their life's for your safety. Without them might be today we would be living in the Great World Communist Union. Personally I applaud Bush for taking off a bit of those silk gloves the CIA had to use in the past years

RE>> Why ? << , It's in the nature of power, be it the CIA or any other clandestine operation of "any" country..they always tend to extend their reach, & they always think they have to. ------- I've said more times than I can remember," Justice is for sale to the highest bidder." I say it in hopes to get people to remove their blinders, or at least peep at reality. Now The U.S. doesn't have a exclusive when it comes to taht, it's a universals tendency and can be found all over the world ( with very few exceptions) ----- About me. Over the years I've been called to do Jury duty about 10 times. Each time I went I never was selected , the question never got past my occupation , the last time I went after the Selection process I managed to tell one of Lawyers involved about never being selected and mentioned I never got past my occupation, and asked did he have any idea why ? He was nice about it but made no bones that "Mariners" are almost never selected.. Mariners tend to see things from outside their framework and are too difficult to deal with. If given a chance we tend to ask the juries in the back room questions neither side really want's to risk being asked. I looked over at the other Lawyer and he nodded taht it was true. Mariners just don't normally get picked for Jury Duty. Since then I've always gotten myself excused from Jury Selection when I could. --- Licensed Mariners know that while they might have the right away , it does not give them the right to run over someone, and to not do all they can to avoid a collision will likely put them at Fault, even if they have the Right-away. ------ Take the main stream News taht often SAYS how organized criminals corrupt politicians, We don't buy into taht..it's like saying the Kids corrupt the parents.
