The New York Times "leak" that was published a year after they had the story: is it just an accident that it was published the day after the Iraq elections thus relegating the reporting of same to page six? I mentioned here several weeks ago that the CIA is now an agency that is waging war against the president and should be shut down.

Daniel Patrick Moynahan, when he was in the Senate said, look this institution is a creature of the Cold War. It was created to fight the Cold War. It did a so-so job. He was critical even of the way it did that. But it is now so ingrained in the culture of the Cold War that the best thing to do is shut it down. Hive off the different functions to different intelligence agencies but shut the CIA down and start again. Greg?
This is not a spy agency, it's a CYA keep your job agency and should be shut down.
