Ex-Spy, Duane R. Clarridge, Runs His Own Private C.I.A. – NYTimes.com

an odd little story from the voive of the CIA.
It’s hard to tell what the motivation is for telling this tale and including the specific facts that the articles goes over but then again with the state of intelligence gathering in this country the CIA is probably more than a little confused itself.

Arlington cemetery urns turn up on auction block

Arlington cemetery urns turn up on auction block, but how’d they get there?

Dear God…

First they lose bodies, no parts of a monument? What exactly is the US Army not capable of finding new ways to utterly and completely fuck up?

This mess brought to you by those in charge of the lost cause war in Iraq.

No wonder we are getting our asses handed to us, the army can’t even keep track of dead soldiers who stay in one place, let alone lives ones on a mission.

Again, the words criminal negligence come to mind.

I hope the ACLU nails the Feds to the wall. I hope it is a bloody, painful and public crucifixion. this kind of shit is just ridiculous and makes it impossible to ignore how bloated and incompetent our intelligence community is.

The no fly list is a national embarrassment.

If this is how we treat (or have our lackeys treat) our own citizens then why would any other country give them treatment any more humane than we dish out.

The shining beacon of justice is near irreparably tarnished from being pissed and shit all over for the last forty years.

With all of our vaunted and super expensive defense and intelligence gathering powers display for all to see in actions like these is it any wonder we, the richest nation on the earth, are getting our asses kicked by a bunch of rag tag guerrilla fighters in not one but two wars?

I would like to see those in charge of such failed iniative be held criminally liable and held in the modern version of stocks in the town square.

Manning might make the US angry but what they are doing to him and other endangers US soldiers and citizens who are captured and justifies andything that might happen to them.

I think the members of the military who OK these typoes of detenion should be brought up on treason charges for willfully endangering US military service people.
