SCARY ASS THREAD!

[devilsadvocate]To be fair, the CIA has been allowed over the last few years to have a certain kind of public autonomy that has led to this rivalry between the CIA and the Administration. We want our intelligence outlets to be independent and free to develope their own policy, but we don't need them to take a political stance against the administration, IMO. If you're unhappy with the ideological slant of the current White House, then resign. Of course we don't want an administration full of yes-men, but we also don't necessarily need a CIA with political motives. This President won a majority of the popular vote in this country, the public (as wrong as they may be) have given him a green light on his foreign policy. The CIA should do their job, not serve as "the opposition" to the policy coming from the White House.[/devilsadvocate]
