WAPO Strikes Again
Michale Gerson, one more Washington Post writer who seems to be dedicated to obscuring the truth at any cost:
"In a little over 100 days, the Obama administration and the Democratic Congress have delivered a series of blows to the pride and morale of the Central Intelligence Agency."
Are you kidding us, Michael? What does the CIA have to be proud of? Its fifty year history of being wrong about everything important? Its willingness to serve as the tool of whoever is the farthest right on any issue?
Here's my advice to the CIA: When you do a good job, then you will have something to be proud of.
And, while we are on the subject, Michael, where were you when Bush and Cheney were blaming the CIA for all of the Bush Administration's own misbegotten actions and self-generated lies? Do you think that hurt CIA pride, to have the President of the United States blaming them for his own failures? Why didn't we hear from you then?
A few years ago, I worked in the Washington area for a while. As a long-time subscriber to the New York Times, I looked forward to having a chance to read, on a daily basis, the paper most often listed as being in the Times' class, the Washington Post. Boy, was I disappointed. What a combination of shallow reporting and smug self-satisfaction. I guess nothing that's happened in the last few years has been enough to wake them up.
