Anyone know how long Peter Goss has to wait to write his book about the CIA and lack of Intel...? He may have to wait for awhile, because his will be a bombshell, I feel positive!

There’s a report from the Defense Intelligence Agency that Saddam Hussein's regime may have contacted Niger to buy some 'yellowcake,' which is low-level processed uranium, and is used to make bomb-grade uranium. Without having read the report, let me suggest that there might be definite cause to accept the legitimacy of that statement. (I have to exersize some measure of verbal restraint here). But suffice it say, with regard to Joe Wilson and his wife, there is more to the story that has not been revealed. But let me remind folks that we recovered a TREMENDOUS quantity of documents from Saddam's regime and it's quite "possible" that some of those dealt with Niger. Overall, the real problem is inter-agency rivalry. Just as State and DOD fight amongst one another, so do the CIA and DIA. Sharing of information does not always occur with the expediency that it should. And the internal bureaucracy within BOTH agencies, as well as the NSA, create even more problems. People are just not rewarded for being "team-players", or at least that's not been my experience. It's more an instance of "watch who you p*ss off because they may stab you in the back professionally". That's why I enjoyed being a contractor. I didn't really have a long-term career to be concerned about. I could focus on the mission and using whatever means at hand to accomplish it. Hawk
