Spooks in the Room

So, the GOP are holding the CIA up as the sayers of absolute truth and moral superiority? The CIA are supposed to be the guys that sneak about spying, upsetting dictators, bugging rooms, and doing all kinds of underhanded things that aren't discussed in polite society.

Besides, such support is despite former Senator Graham's note-taking of all things minutia and large indicating the CIA's briefing reports were wrong 3 out of 4 times and Director Panetta's own seeming inability to state unequivocally the reports were absolutely correct. (What a rock and a hard place that man lives between.)

The CIA are supposed to be the guys that do the dirty work for us, no matter what it is or why. Their's is but to do or die, right? They're supposed to be the spooks in the room. If that's their job, but they can't even get accurate briefing notes together, I have a hard time trusting anything they say.

Another thought...unless those briefing summaries (SUMMARIES, remember) are date and time stamped by some sort of nuclear, unalterable clock, who's to say they weren't written last week? Just saying.
