The Examiner has an excerpt from Rowan Scarborough's new book, Sabotage, about the CIA's war with the Pentagon. It is interesting stuff.

One of the many issues on which John McCain is hiding his plans from the American people in is regards to Social Security. It's an important issue to a lot of people.... a lot of Americans are counting on Social Security being there for them when they retire.

Seems that the McCain campaign folks never bothered to license the music they were illegally exploiting for free featuring in the videos. Updated and Bumped: They did it again - the second time in two weeks. Apparently copyright laws are among the laws easily ignored by the McCain camp. Third Update: They did it again and now they're being sued.

Fascinating read. I wish there were some way to fry the cowards in the CIA who got way too lazy in their cushy jobs. They fight for their own survival which will eventually be their undoing.

Broom the organization and rebuild banning current employees from future employment. I don't think we'll miss the loss.

Turf battles aren't anything new - the Navy and the Army were at each other's metaphorical throats in the '30s, fighting hard for the little funding available. Then the Air Corps/Air Force came in, and there was a third contender for the pie - and with aircraft and ballistic missiles it was pretty sexy.
But USUALLY when faced with a threat the Navy and Army and AF worked together to fight it. They've learned the hard way that none of them can go it alone, and working together they're a hell of a lot stronger than on their own.
The CIA apparently wanted to own all intel and decisionmaking regarding 9/11. I agree with jpm100 - there's time for gameplaying and time to be serious. They decided that only they knew what was important - and only they were going to release what they thought was important. It didn't matter what the customer wanted, what the hell did the customer know, anyway?
Yeah, I can understand in slow times a desire to 'preserve' their territory, and there's a lot of bureaucrats to whom the amassing of people-power and the building of little kingdoms is more important than getting the job done or even being ready to do the job when the bell rings.
But the CIA dropped the ball, then tried to deflate it to keep others from using it. That just doesn't cut it.

Maybe the whole damn outfit has been marginalized with a copacetic babysitter. Better than being sandbagged again, as have Presidents who've depended upon the CIA since it quit being an office of special services. For good or bad, the DIA pretty much has it all now, anyway.
