It seems that imagination is in short supply for the writer. The reason he is so angry is that Stansfield Turner gutted the CIA. It was part of Carter's hatred for them, and his belief that we were the problem in dealing with the Soviets. He should have learned how bad his judgement was when they invaded Afghanistan and the Iranian Mullahs crapped on him. But Carter and Turner go on today believing that they could make piece with our enemies if they could only sit down with them. They never met a dictator or religous fanatic they didn't like.

if the neutralizing of a single "agent" is so newsworthy as to dominate the papers and the evening news for months, how about firing one-quarter of all the CIA agents--the really covert ones, I mean--in the world? Wouldn't that compromise our security to an almost unimaginable extent? >>>It seems that imagination is in short supply for the writer.<<< Maurice, Seems you may not be aware that Clinton did exactly that when he was Pres. The writer nailed it. No imagination involved...just a hard fact. uw
