Here's why I don't trust the CIA:CIA FUNDS LIBERALS [Tim Graham]
Bill Gertz reports in today's Washington Times that the CIA's Counterterrorist Center has spent more than $15 million in the past three years "funding studies, reports and conferences produced by former Democratic administration officials and other critics of the Bush administration," for example, a $300,000 grant by the CIA to the Atlantic Council for a study co-authored by Richard Clarke.
Gertz concludes: "An investigation by The Washington Times of the CIA's funding of think tanks shows that the CTC's academic outreach program has not funded any studies or conferences at conservative organizations."
Matt's Chat
Apparently the CIA isn't interested in getting points of view that doesn't match John Kerry's.Yet another reason why the CIA should be rebuilt from the ground up, in my opinion.
Intelligence should not be partisan. It has become so. And that can be dangerous.
Mark's Remarks
Most interesting...perhaps if the CIA spent more money researching foreign terrorists instead of subverting its own government, perhaps there would be better intelligence....The CIA needs reformed. While it should not be destroyed, as John Kerry wanted to do, it needs revamped. This is a shocking study.
