Witnessing all the outpouring of love and protectiveness toward much adored CIA, gushing forth unstoppable for weeks and months on this board, I feel compelled to strike a counter-stance and rub the truth deep into CIA lackeys revolting mugs.

Why should CIA agent identities be secret?

Why shouldn’t I know if my neighbor works for CIA?

What country is this, US or USSR?

Now, the biggest outrage:

Above all disgusting perversions of everything sane and honest, to extol CIA for dispelling myths about Iraq state of disarmament?!

This is the same CIA that subverted and infiltrated weapons inspections teams, slipping the obtained intelligence (mostly useless) to Clinton to identify targets for “Operation Desert Fox” bombing campaign in 1998, giving Saddam the legitimate reason to expel weapons inspectors for 3 years! Without CIA interference, inspections might have ended during Clinton time!

Now, suddenly, CIA is the darling of liberals and purveyor of truth?!

Uhh, because they’re spies?

Seriously, though. Most people who work for the CIA don’t do so in secret. But field officers (a.k.a. spies) kind of depend on not blowing their cover.

If your neighbor worked for the CIA he would probably tell you. Unless he was a spy, in which case he wouldn’t. Because then he wouldn’t be able to do his job.

The USSR doesn’t exist anymore. It was in a few papers.

I have no idea what this means. Please try it again in English.

Cite?

There was no legitimate reason, and proper inspections were impossible under the Saddam regime anyway.

Unlikely.

The CIA’s been involved in some gnarly shit to be sure, but they remain an essential force for protecting the US and its interests. If you don’t like that, well, don’t become a spy.

My friend Brighton is a member of the Culinary Institute of America, and he didn’t tell me for seven years, until I found out he’d infiltrated the kitchen at the Ugandan embassy. Dangerous stuff.

Y’know, I would have thought that the OP was a pretty damn hilarious parody if **New Iskander** hadn’t already amply demonstrated he is actually idiot enough to mean it.
