Thanks for the link. Too bad that story doesn't involve Michael Jackson, the media at large will not spotlight it.

And, of course, the unifying link between that story and the one linked to in the original post (besides the obvious, of course). Cynical liberals such as myself were proved right again. Conservative Bush defenders? Notsomuch (http://mediamatters.org/research/200907090025).

Good that I'm not the only one who saw this news coming. When reading any declassified documents from security agencies, you should always assume things are worse than they're letting on.

Exactly.

For good or for bad, the CIA's job is to lie. Literally. Why are people shocked that they lied to Congress? I'm shocked if they tell the truth!
