If the CIA and Department of State closed tomorrow, we would be a more secure and better informed country. . . DOS has always been a vipers nest of careerists who care not a whit for the country, only their own perks.

Both CIA and State seem to be filled with people who "go native" to copy all the wrong people—namely, the Communists, the Arab terrorists, academics, and reporters. (Am I being redundant?)

It's a matter of national survival that these organizations, which operate like parasitic city-states, be destroyed from the ground up and get rebuilt using entirely different people. Reading about the track record of CIA and DOS makes you think that the best minds there know a lot about things that don't matter, and nothing about the things that do.
