Au contraire, I personally know many CIA personnel. Most of them are S&T types. And they are good folk. And I think that the SAD types are great. But I remind you that Valerie Plame was CIA. The CIA analysis people recruit from the same places that the State Dept. does. And I can tell you that there are some leftists inside the Intelligence Community. I don’t know how they can continue to be so if they actually read the products, but they are there.

The CIA was originally very liberal, and old-time conservatives opposed it (McCarthy was going to investigate it but he was "condemned" before he got around to them). They claimed the purpose of the CIA was to oppose Communism by supporting the non-Communist Left around the world.
