    My favorite was the one where a “former” member of Al-Qaeda was invited to kick his feet back in NYC and play a nice relaxing game of basketball with US generals at the White House. Really building bridges, you know?

    I don’t think someone should set every member of the CIA on fire. But I wouldn’t be upset if they did.

    I’m not an expert, but I was under the impression the CIA was against the Iraq invasion and cooking up the evidence was all pentagon and executive branch?

      Were they? I’ve never heard this. Do you have any sources for that I can check out? It’s not that I don’t believe you, but that seems wildly out of character for them.

      I think it was more that Bush and Cheney were leaning hard on the CIA to find anything that could be considered evidence of Saddam making WMD’s, no matter how flimsy, but the CIA still couldn’t manage to find anything believable.
