A CIA Insider's Take on Gates
Opinion piece by Ray McGovern about Gates....
http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald...n/16158060.htm "Still, Rep. Rush Holt, D-N.J., who was an analyst in the State Department's intelligence bureau and now sits on the House Intelligence Committee, has called Gates' nomination ''deeply troubling'' and appealed for hearings that are ``thorough and probing.'' this is truly the shady aftermath |

Re: A CIA Insider's Take on Gates
I don't know much about Gates, but that dude sure don't like him. Niether does the Robert Parry guy. At the Consortiumnews.com site, every article is anti-Gates.

Re: A CIA Insider's Take on Gates
In the post-Rumsfeld Republican wasteland, Lyndon Larouche would look like a solid choice from Bush.
Gates said all the right things today. Whether it was just more sugar coating will be seen real soon.

Quote:
CIA Veteran: How Robert Gates Cooked the Intelligence By Daniel Schulman Link : http://www.motherjones.com/washingto...n_goodman.html "Intelligence cherry-picked for ideological purposes; the claims of a single, unreliable source treated as fact and stovepiped straight up to the White House; a National Intelligence Estimate riddled with dubious claims; efforts made to connect an enemy regime with international terrorism. Echoing the prelude to the Iraq War, these are, in fact, a sampling of the allegations directed at Robert Gates 15 years ago, when the Senate Intelligence Committee considered Gates' nomination to be the director of Central Intelligence." |

Diver...theres a difference. For the first time in 6 years, he will now be subject to a new thing in DC called OVERSIGHT. If he is not forthcoming, he will be forced into a very uncomfortable position. I wasn't crazy about him, but he's the best we can hope for at this stage.

Re: A CIA Insider's Take on Gates
Since the vote was 21-0, can we account blame to both sides if this guy sucks royally? I couldn't tell you didly about Gates, and I'm sure few in here could. What I do know is that a year from now, if this guy blows, it'll be GW's fault, and GW's fault only to some in this forum.
