Fuck CIA!

Are you drunk?

Jack Tripper was sleeping with Israli agents?

[Peter Griffon, when he thought he was Jack from three’s COmpany]

Ohmigod, ohmigod, ohmigod, Brian, twins! Hot Israeli Twins!

[Peter Griffon]

Three’s Company - I remember that show. Jack Tripper was Agent Three, the spy for the “Company” sent to work “undercover” with two sexy Israeli spies - so he ended up moving in with them! And then to avoid being killed by Colonel Furlov, the KGB agent upstairs, he had to pretend to be a Communist! Wackiness ensued every week!

<whispering> Shhh, will you shut up about that?

This morning bring news of more CIA activities.

CIA Holds Terror Suspects in Secret Prisons

Would you like to know the names? You can’t, it’s against the law!

Would you like to know that officer’s name? You can’t, it’s against the law!

So, my dear sneering clowns, what do you stand for in relation to CIA: complete secrecy or complete disclosure?

Neither.

Is your life really so empty that you need to dream up fictional Evvvvile Libruls![sup]tm[/sup] to rail against? Does it register on your neuron that in order to feel smug and superior, and yes, be a snearing clown, you need to invent these ludricous positions which five seconds of thought would show to be intellectually bankrupt?

Can we pound it through your neutron density skull that your idiotic world of black-white dichotomies and reified ‘enemies’ is just about as false to facts and idiotic as beliefs get?

You do realize that most people would answer your question by saying “Somewhere between total secrety and total transparency?”

Moron.

I thought your answer in the other thread was better. This one has reasonableness in it, ruining the crunchy goodness.

I only wonder how often New Iskander reads the news, if he is only noticing this today. Do you suppose he read it three days ago, and it took that long for the information to make the long and hazardous trek from his eyeballs to his brain?

This is true.
I am ashamed and dishonored.

Well… not that ashamed.
And perhaps not all that dishonored.

But definitely guilty of stylistic rigidity.

Who do you think enforces the law in this country? Batman?

We have a legal system. It’s run by judges and prosecutors and defense lawyers and police officers and jurors and a bunch of other people. And some of these people know what that CIA officer’s name is.

So why do you need to know? If you knew his name what would you be doing any differently right now? Flying to Afghanistan with a gavel and forming your own court of justice?

Most of us DSCs favor a rational system of reasonable oversight, but hey, you have fun storming the castle.
