This could explain why Cheney's intel is stuck in a time warp.

Hell, all intel was decided when PNAC was formed!

Posted by cali4nian at April 6, 2007 09:47 PMHow many PhD's in History, Poli-Sci, Journalism and function of government are going to be awarded to students doing thesis on this administration in the coming years?
And this is just about the things that we know about currently.
Posted by Simp at April 7, 2007 12:16 AMDoesn't this have the same clacking, broken-bell ring to it that the way intelligence was handled in the months leading up to 9-11? No sense of mission, no sense of urgency, no direction, nobody at the helm of state (or State for that matter)? Just thinking.

Posted by Christopher at April 7, 2007 06:04 AMIt's hard to believe with all the corporate funded stink tanks littering the DC area, these errand boys can't find one acceptable fixer of intelligence around policier slot filler. Have the ranks of the military industrial congressional complex been so ravaged that no one minimally "qualified" leaps to slake their ambition on this bueaucratic morsel? No public service motivated ExecVP of Boeing or Lockheed? No SrFellow of AEI or Heritage?
It's not that difficult. Just find out what the WH wants to prove, then cherrypick it or make it up. What's the problem? Are the Bush/Cheney boobs so radioactive, the can't get even one true believer/techie to step forward to do their bidding?

The current regime has no intelligence and its has no desire to get any more than it already has. That might be one explanation. It now discovers that its wholesale abuse of the intelligence community - symbolized by its mistreatment of Plame, Tenet, and a whole organization - makes finding competent people to fill such spots difficult. On second thought, the question of competence has rarely slowed the regime in filling a spot. I wonder what the real problem is?
