current and also the past administration. These people are quite a bit less smarter than the folks around here and a lot more venal. Remember W.C. Fields you cant cheat an honest man. Intel gets swagged, ignored and filtered by policy wonks with agendas as opposed to collecting humint or elintas opposed to the old verification and rated before being sent to analysts without agendas. This product would then be presented by people with agendas but with access to the datastream. Classic example was Gore being duped by the Russians because of filters imposed by the top down.
thanx,
