What a day.
While you were sleeping, President Obama decided to take
over turned his attention to the disposition
of classified documents.
More than 400 million pages of Cold War-era documents could be declassified as the federal government responds to President Barack Obama's order to rethink the way it protects the nation's secrets.
(…)
Obama also reversed a decision by President George W. Bush that had allowed the intelligence community to block the release of a specific document, even if an interagency panel decided the information wouldn't harm national security.
And Former Vice President Cheney thinks that the president is trying to
pretend that the United States is not at war. Gee, I
can’t imagine how the former vice president would come to that conclusion!
Larry
Johnson says that the Obama Administration is trying to defame
and defang the CIA. Again.
It is not the job or mission of a CIA field office to comb through intelligence reports and do analysis or piece together puzzles. They are first and foremost information gatherers. The Bush Administration and the Congress removed the CIA from the job of “piecing” together disparate pieces of information. That job was passed to NCTC [the National Counter Terrorism Center], which is under the control of the Director of National Intelligence [DNI], Admiral Dennis Blair.
Even more basic, the Panty Bomber bought a one-way ticket
with cash. It’s not the CIA’s
responsibility to monitor that either. And doesn't the DNI have a direct line to the president?
Boarding at a Mogadishu airport, a Somalian tried to blow up himself and an aircraft airliner last month. Hey black African men! Haven’t you figured out yet that Arab Muslims are afraid of you and want you dead? I guess that the castration of millions of black male slaves in the last 500 years were not enough of a clue. Stop helping them.
“[President Obama’s] agenda does not seem to include a serious take on national security; it’s all about remaking the country in his Marxist image. He’s more concerned about taking over the health care system and bringing the capitalist system to its knees. The jihadists know it. After all, this is a guy who has no problem sending hardened jihadists to a prison in Illinois and sending other “detainees” back to the hotbed of jihad in Yemen.”
The intentional destruction of the capitalist system by the
Obama Administration and its ho-hum
attitude about the renewed Jihad are two sides of the same coin.
And, no, I'm still not afraid.
UPDATE: Hearing a report that the NCTC never got the information. It's looking like a bureaucracy layer overload.
