- inactive, on 07/02/2008, -15/+334In case it isn't yet totally clear to you all:
There are rogue elements within the US intelligence services, tracing back to 'Poppy' Bush, that do not represent or serve the will of the American people. - quesi, on 07/02/2008, -9/+247Straight out of the Washington Post:
The informant provided secret evidence that Tehran had halted its research into designing and building a nuclear weapon. Yet, when the operative sought to file reports on the findings, his attempts were "thwarted by CIA employees," according to court papers. Later he was told to "remove himself from any further handling" of the informant, the documents say.
I think we must prefer to rely on the always trustworthy intelligence from everyone's favorite "ally". You know - the one that doesn't spy on us, and isn't contolling our foreign policy, key appointed positions, and much of the MSM? - StingingNettle, on 07/02/2008, -12/+233Getting fired by our government = patriotic.

- inactive, on 07/02/2008, -9/+97by 'Poppy', do you mean 'George Herber Walker Opium Poppy Bush?' (aka George Shreff--nazi and thief)
- sultanica, on 07/02/2008, -8/+80After the Contra affair (still ongoing FYI) and the admission by the CIA chief that drug running helped fund black ops and research, why would anyone be surprised about this?

- inactive, on 07/02/2008, -1/+62I have limited experience with the CIA, but their intelligence tends to be pretty spotty or non-existent. In 1983, I was serving in the military and we invaded Grenada. 23 U.S. soldiers died and hundreds Grenadians were killed. The CIA had no intelligence about the island, and the military had to use tourist maps to get around. The CIA also failed to provide any intelligence when we invaded Panama, and that resulted in, among many others, Navy SEALS dying.
- WTFppl, on 07/02/2008, -12/+66OR...A suicide yet to be made?
- americangoy, on 07/02/2008, -24/+76f***k's sake...
I wanted to take a break from blogging for a day... - dagnabbit, on 07/02/2008, -8/+53This should be the top news story on every station. Not holding my breath.
- inactive, on 07/02/2008, -12/+54Now is the time to stop this war before it begins. We need to use the alternative media to get stories like this into the national mindset, because we all know the MSM aren't doing their jobs.
- digitalhair, on 07/02/2008, -9/+47If you were truly objective braynard, you wouldn't have been compelled to assume quesi's opinion was formed "solely on the uncorroborated account of a fired employee." You don't have to turn the TV on to realize we're listening to the same propaganda we heard before invading Iraq.
The last time somebody tried to warn us about false intelligence, somebody like you convinced enough people to ignore it using precisely the same rhetoric and logic you've employed here, and you're still unapologetically professing your objectivity like there's no lesson from the past.
I've learned who to trust and who not to trust by looking at who has the most to gain from invading countries, AND IT AINT THE PEOPLE IN MY TAX BRACKET. - mmmmmbiscuits, on 07/02/2008, -20/+57What ever will your 14 readers do without you?
- jlhoben, on 07/02/2008, -13/+50Sounds like the new America.
- theNazz, on 07/02/2008, -7/+43I'm sure nobody in the CIA is enjoying the bumper crops of Opium in Afghanistan that came about since Booosh decided to invade the country to find one man in a cave...
- Waiting2awake, on 07/02/2008, -6/+40And yet, people either still don't see it, or have refused to acknowledge it....
I knew a women years ago that was a little girl in Nazi Germany at the end of the war. I had many conversations with her about that time. I remember asking her once "How was it knowing about the camps, the people, etc, etc Why didn't the people stop it?" - and she said to me that they weren't even aware of them. Sure there were some reports but they were always regarded as conspiracy theories, enemy propaganda, etc. That for the average German they knew the war was one, but for the reasons and the effects of the war they were blissfully unaware.....
I thought it was a cop-out. That she didn't want to tell the truth about it. I couldn't figure out how a nation could be so blinded by patriotism that such evil could be accepted by generally good people. Now I see how it has worked in the States... small step, after small step. America has marched - blissfully unaware, covered in a cloak of patriotism right up to the very gates of fascism. - CrazedLeper, on 07/02/2008, -7/+40"CIA spokesman Paul Gimigliano declined to comment on the specifics of the case but flatly rejected the allegation that the agency had suppressed reports. "It would be wrong to suggest that agency managers direct their officers to falsify the intelligence they collect or to suppress it for political reasons," he said. "That's not our policy. That's not what we're about." "
Oh, nice try Paul but I think we all know better. - diggthis123, on 07/02/2008, -6/+38The guy's behind the Wizard of Oz curtain, exaggerating the terrorism threat, are the same ones that tried to exaggerate the Communism threat in the late 80's (that they had a web of Russian communists ready to take over) = all manufactured lies.
When you realize who actually runs America - big businesses (banks, oil, media in this country etc) - then you can understand why our interests as citizens don't matter much, or at all, when it comes to huge issues such as these. We just need to find a way to stop them - 8 years of perpetuating this charade is long enough for me - I won't believe it anymore. - TypeEE, on 07/02/2008, -2/+34I think CIA improved since 1983 as they could provide google maps to the troops now.
- inactive, on 07/02/2008, -10/+41"In the months after the conflict, the operative became the target of two internal investigations, one of them alleging an improper sexual relationship with a female informant...." Part 'A' goes into part 'B'...check. (I guess he should have made a youtube for proof that it was proper!)
- superfusion, on 07/02/2008, -6/+35Treason is a crime even an ex-President or VP can be convicted of.
- Epistaxis, on 07/02/2008, -6/+34Yes, and they run the place. Whistleblowers like this one are the rogues.
- MWeather, on 07/02/2008, -7/+34Being briefed by the CIA is like being a mushroom. They keep you in the dark and feed you *****.
- reuscel, on 07/02/2008, -12/+39C'mon, if you can't shirk the constitutional duties of your job and lie for political expediency, then you deserve to be fired.
Wow, the Bush administration has really broken America, hasn't it? - Gutterpunk, on 07/02/2008, -7/+32Yep... thats how it is now. People getting fired are more respected than people who don't.
Weird... But surely it means nothing! - inactive, on 07/02/2008, -18/+43psst...over here (shhh) "9/11 was an inside job!!!!!!!" opps, that was kinda loud, sorry.
- dizilbdog, on 07/02/2008, -9/+33You know people still won't believe the CIA are a bunch of ***** from shipping the drugs in here to putting the Shaw in Iran to helping Bin Laden and Hussein. The public I swear have some sort of mental block that they just don't believe that bad things happen. This country really is heading toward a ***** storm maybe not today or tomorrow or next month but very soon.
- mmmmmbiscuits, on 07/02/2008, -5/+26Are we talking about the same CIA which said in August 1978 that Iran was "not in a revolutionary or even a prerevolutionary situation." Those brilliant bastards!
- Zihuatanejo, on 07/02/2008, -2/+21I hope your blog is ***** uncensored.
- soroushe, on 07/02/2008, -6/+25Honestly we can sit here on comment on this article all we want and it won't change a thing. This administration has already made up it's mind about Iran and WE (The American People) sit around and do nothing about it. If the price of gas went up %100 in less than a year in any country but the U.S, people would take to the streets and protest. We only have our selves to blame. IMOP.

- CrazedLeper, on 07/02/2008, -7/+25America has been broken long before Bush. He's just really brazen about flaunting it since he knows he's untouchable.
- inactive, on 07/02/2008, -8/+24You're being VERY generous there. Unless you are counting the bots.
- thedogfatherx, on 07/02/2008, -3/+19Hmmm. I'm not going to rush to judgement on this one. I'm curious as to what we will all find out during these court hearings.
- noahhoward, on 07/02/2008, -5/+22Okay... didn't the CIA just come out and say that Iran had halted weapons production? Yet this guy is trying to say he was fired when he tried to suggest that they had halted production... what am I missing here? Why would be fired for stating intelligence that the agency then publishes?
- inactive, on 07/02/2008, -10/+25Truly sad.
- BlacklabelSAR, on 07/02/2008, -2/+17Interesting that at least 4 people dugg you down, yet didn't leave a response. What does *that* say?
- Tyrghast, on 07/02/2008, -0/+15Oh they go a lot farther back than the Bush dynasty...
- Memitim, on 07/02/2008, -4/+18We're a nation born from rebellion, despite how much those who stockpile our nation's wealth try to forget. Turning on the government for the sake of the people still resonates with many of us.
- bsl4doc, on 07/02/2008, -1/+15The CIA put a 20th century Irish playwright in power as the leader of Iran?
Wow, they really are ballsy. - bosssmiley, on 07/02/2008, -6/+20First shoe dropped. Just waiting for the other now...
- slug007, on 07/02/2008, -8/+21Why lie? So a war can be started against Iran??? WTF?
- sultanica, on 07/02/2008, -0/+12new? It's been like this for at least 20-30 years, only now more people than usual are waking up to the fact.
- Verfel, on 07/02/2008, -7/+19Given the current record of the Bush administration (WMDs everywhere, we swear.), shouldn't we at least look at the documents in question in hopes of avoiding another Iraq?
- evilgourmet, on 07/02/2008, -1/+13One persons account is called WHISTLE-BLOWING.
We have to take it seriously, and there are many other instances of hiding evidence in this POTUS's admin, from bottom to top. -
