Another day, another display of the passive-aggressive relationship the Obama administration has with the CIA and the overall intelligence community. This latest threat to prosecute CIA officials is not only a threat to the those involved in the interrogations but will only serve to hamper current and future information gathering.

The CIA are not nice people. They ran a leak campaign against George W Bush which is partly how the Republican brand has got so tarnished.

That’s beyond the general incompetence of the place. I think the agency should have been overhauled and everyone important fired on 12 September 2001.

I expect the CIA will stab Obama very hard and very often in the back.

I don’t relish the thought, BTW; it’s the kind of “Obama failure” that won’t be his fault, directly, and will harm the rest of the nation worse than it will harm Obama’s agenda.
