Rescuing The Lone Rangers
This is from Bride of Acheron…
Will Bunch of Attytood beautifully calls foul on some silly claims from Pajamas Media (sic), that the controversy over bloody Blackwater’s license in Iraq has even caused the CIA to shut down operations outside the Green Zone:
The bizarre logic here escapes me. The surge is working so well that our own CIA agents — trained for months at “The Farm” in Virginia to learn how to kill a man with a ballpoint pen, and that sort of thing — are now afraid to walk out the front door without a bevy of allegedly trigger-happy men toting machine guns and firing indiscriminantly?
My God, what was it like in Baghdad before the awesome power of the surge?
What I took away from Richard Miniter’s rightist spinning was that if the Agency has really not been going out in the field without armed guards, then no wonder the intelligence they bring back is so bad.
