Maybe we should begin to defund the CIA and increase the budget for the uniformed intelligence services...eventually let the CIA wither on the vine and die. Since our Army/Navy/AF intelligence folks were responsible for Able Danger, maybe they could produce better intelligence products.
There is very, very good men at the CIA, their victories are never reported and in 99.99% of the time no one alive in their life times will ever know what they accomplished. The problem is that when Carter took office, the RATz were all high from Watergate and Nam. They were all tinfoil moonbats who believed the CIA was secretly trying to take over the world. Carter appointed Turner to take down the CIA. The first thing they did was to make it illegal to deal with "questionable people" to gather intel so they never risked the media finding out that the CIA did business with drug dealers (Clinton did the same thing)as if the CIA was going to find good, honest people to betray their countries to the United States. The next thing they did was to hire more tinfoil moonbats to keep an eye on the CIA and give every moonbat's brother-in-law a government job. Reagan was able to get rid of a lot of them and then bring down the Soviet Union (make no mistake, the CIA is the unsung hero of winning the cold war). However, it only took a few years for Clinton to screw up everything Reagan had fixed. Now they got Carter hold overs and Clinton moonbats making sure that for every victory the CIA has they leak out the failures. If they can't find a failure to leak, then anything they can find to stir up the tin foil crowd will do.
That's a good idea.
