re: #177 Zimriel

The CIA is not monolithic. There are Republicans, Democrats and Independents in the agency. A few activist Democrats managed to leak a lot of information and thereby scuttle Bush. Obama’s good cop/bad cop approach may well be aimed at “depoliticizing” the CIA, by which I mean, getting rid of Republicans in the agency. He’s telling the Democrats in the CIA, give up the bad guys, and we all know who they are, wink, wink… and the rest of you will be fine.

Expect a flood of resignations, retirements and layoffs from Langley.
