How else do you pass the blame for your own incompetance
To: kattracks
I wonder how possible it would be for DC area FREEPERS AND TOURISTS to appear at the joker's office with mirrors. or on the streets where his car pulls out or maybe mailing him small children's mirrors. . . with a note on the back about what it means for his thick head.

This is all BS! For crying out loud look at the damn source...oh wait a minute, this is about a Democrat.
Never mind.

2 weeks ago, Toricelli was on the Imus radio program and said the same thing.
Guess NewsMax don't listen to Imus.

Insight Magazine has an excellent article with the entire scenario of what has happened to our intelligence gathering at the CIA. Jimmy Carter was at the forefront of handcuffing our CIA.....and it continued on with Toricelli more recently.

New Jersey Senator Robert Torricelli is a certified a$$hole.

Was toricelli interviewed from his prison cell? Last I heard he was supposed to be one step away from going up the river.
To: kattracks
When will he be going off to levenworth? He is disgusting. I heard him on O'Reilly defending his actions in tieing the hands of the CIA, so that they can't really get the job done. This dork thinks he is really a misunderstood hero.
To: kattracks
I believe that is what they call CYA. Torriceli needs all the cover he can get.
To: NewLand
Yup Church of Idaho......the list is long of those who would have us vulnerable. What Toricelli could be thinking is beyond me, but for the most part, the commie/libs in the media have given him a free pass as has Mary Jo White.
To: wingnuts'nbolts
Toricelli was a hero to Bianca Jagger, his lover of the moment who convinced him to help the bad guys in Nicaragua
To: OldFriend
One short, ill-tempered senator, all by himself, negated the entire CIA's intelligence gathering efforts? Wow.
I guess this conclusively proves that there is no need for the CIA.
If a single senator can, all by himself, overturn all the careful efforts of our spy network, then our spy network is not worth preserving.

He is a traitor....no other word for it. His personal life is a disgrace as well. He was named as a 'correspondent' in a divorce case years ago. He was messing with Patricia Duff of the notorious Ron Perlman (Revlon) infamy. He has a long history of abberent behaviour that seems to fit the dems just perfectly.
To: Hidy
No, Hidy dear, the elimination or casterating of the CIA began many years ago. Even before the communist wall came down between the east and the west. The very intense effort to eliminate the CIA became evident during the conflict in Nicaragua, when some of the democRATS wanted the sandinistas (communists) to win over the country and eliminate the democratic form of government.
During the 90s a fervent effort began in earnest to do the same to the FBI. X42's administration began sending FBI people to Russia to train Russians in the ways of the FBI.
If my memory is correct, I think the CIA was to operate and investigate for us outside the borders of the US and the FBI inside our borders. There has been something about the FBI, during WWII, whereby the FBI was unoficially investigating in So. America.

If a single senator can, all by himself, overturn all the careful efforts of our spy network, then our spy network is not worth preserving. He had lots of help evidently. They were over there making 'diversity quilts'!
I very much respect your work as CIA Director(George Tenet), and the concerns expressed in this letter are certainly not a reflection on your distinguished leadership or that of your predecessors. By word and by deed, you have demonstrated a welcome commitment to fighting bias within the CIA, including your initiative to institute a program of sensitivity training for CIA employees. If a problem exists anywhere within the CIA, I am confident you will take the necessary steps to address it. (letter by Mr. Abraham Foxman, Anti-Defamation League of Bnai Brith, 13 April 1999)
Mr. Foxman has recognized these failings in the agency only because the CIA is now willing to pay the ADL for the organization's "sensitivity training."
According to Mr. Sher, the people at the CIA who "ruined the career in government of a promising attorney" don't need sensitivity training. "They need to learn to follow the law," said Mr. Sher. "Until Tenet resolves the Ciralsky case, everything else is window dressing." Change the Environment
While Mr. Foxman acknowledged that the ADL will receive funds from the CIA for the training program, he said the agency's participation in the program would help change the environment that permitted anti-Semitism to fester.
At CIA, Gay Pride Comes In From the Cold
Washington Post, June 9, 2000
By Vernon Loeb, Washington Post Staff Writer
While the terrorists and their sponsors were plotting to hijack airliners and crash them into Manhattan skyscrapers and the Pentagon, senior CIA officials were compelling analysts and operations officers to attend sensitivity-training classes and sew diversity quilts. That is a fact.
A current CIA manager, who requested anonymity, tells Insight that intelligence professionals are forced to attend sensitivity-training classes and do role-playing skits to conform to politically correct social themes. Another CIA official adds, The management wasted countless thousands of hours by making all of us sit through workshops to make politically correct diversity quilts. Pieces of fabric were distributed to CIA employees on which they were instructed to sew, draw or glue art, photographs and slogans reflecting diversity themes dictated during mandatory sensitivity seminars. Can you imagine being a manager and having your staff say, Sorry, I need to take off an hour to work on my diversity quilt? It just scalds me. He estimates that the quilting workshops and seminars cost the CIA more than 20,000 hours of employee time. The diversity quilts are on display inside CIA headquarters.
