COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN WASHINGTON BLOG
“CIA Stresses Loyalty
to the AGENCY Over Loyalty to the Constitution”
I don't know why this would surprise anyone.
You start a covert agency which is pretty close to
unaccountable, you fund it beyond its ability even to spend sensibly, you see
it hire armies of bright psychopathic personalities, you watch it play dirty
tricks all over the planet, and you watch it lie at every turn about what it is
doing or has done.
Clearly, a formula for disaster.
Clearly, something incompatible with democratic or human
values.
And clearly why Trump can no more drain the swamp than he
can lift the earth.
I think all the American Patriot-types are living in
cloudcuckooland.
Nothing much is going to change.
