Karl Rove is one jolly fat man. With George Carlin well on his way to being worm food, looks like Karl is angling to become America’s new funny man. I refer of course to Karl’s outrage that the “NY Times outed a CIA officer.” Appearing on Bill O’Reilly’s show yesterday, Rove and […]

For those of you tired of the political back-and-forth of the Clinton/Obama slugfest, here is a diversion. Sexscapades and the CIA.
Our story starts with Kyle “Dusty” Foggo. The former Executive Director of the CIA, who was fired and indicted more than a year ago, was hit last week with a super-ceding […]

It’s hard to post when your bloggy compatriots are doing such an able job of covering and analyzing the salient points of what’s amounting to be a debacle, but after last night I thought it was time to emerge from my bunker and have at it.
What we’re looking at here is one of the most […]

To Admiral William Fallon (USN ret.), With Respect
(Open Appeal for Straight Talk on Iran)
By Ray McGovern
May 19, 2008
Dear Admiral Fallon:
I have not been able to find out how to reach you directly, so I have drafted this letter in the hope it will come to your attention.
First, thank you for honoring the oath we commissioned […]

Overview: This is a story of big-city behind-the-scenes politics — of scratch-my-back and I’ll-scratch-yours backroom dealings. It is a story of how Bill Ayers and Barack Obama — sitting on a charitable board (for which they were paid) — aided and abetted the lucrative real estate development projects of Obama’s former law firm associate […]

Senator Obama’s ill-conceived remarks likening small town Americans to embittered guns-and-God bigots have triggered a justifiable furor. Not only are the remarks insulting, but also factually incorrect.
As it happens, at the same event in San Francisco, Senator Obama made other remarks, equally startling, insulting our Foreign Service, […]

Frontline: Too Timid, Too Little, Too Late: Frontline’s “Bush’s War” on PBS Monday and Tuesday evening was a nicely put-together rehash of the top players’ trickery that led to the attack on Iraq, together with the power-grabbing, back-stabbing, and limitless incompetence of the occupation.

Powell’s UN Fiasco: Fresh and Festering
By Ray McGovern
Yesterday was a difficult day for Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity. It was hard to celebrate the fifth anniversary of our first corporate memorandum, a same-day critique of Colin Powell’s Feb. 5, 2002 UN address, when we could not escape the reality that this speech greased […]

Imagine the climate adjustment required for that solitary Icelandic soldier stationed in Iraq. The member of the “Icelandic Crisis Response Unit” (Iceland doesn’t have a “formally constituted military”) is actually a media representative in Baghdad, but Bush used him to bolster his B.S. claim of a coalition of 36 countries in Iraq.
Thank you to everyone […]
