Bush Wants CIA to Offer Up 'Diverse Views'

Bush Wants CIA to Offer Up 'Diverse Views'



CRAWFORD, Texas -- President Bush has ordered up new measures to bolster the CIA in combating weapons of mass destruction and other threats, directing an agency that lawmakers have accused of engaging in "group think" to present "diverse views" to policy-makers.

The new steps came as part of a response to the Sept. 11 commission's report, presented last summer. In measures he approved last Thursday and announced late Tuesday, Bush elaborated on how he will respond to two recommendations he had previously embraced.

He directed Attorney General John Ashcroft to press ahead with a "specialized and integrated national security work force" within the FBI. This group includes agents, analysts, linguists and surveillance experts who seek to cultivate "an institutional culture imbued with a deep expertise in intelligence and national security."

Bush also ordered Ashcroft to improve intelligence information-sharing throughout the government.

2. Why does the AP publish this crap?
Say one thing, do another. That's all we've gotten for the last four years, and the press still laps it up.

5. Flip-flop!!!!!
First he wants the CIA purged of those who aren't loyal, toe-sucking, tail-wagging W supporters, now he says he wants "diverse views."

Yeah, that makes sense.

9. This coming from the guy who
wants to "reach out" to others who share his goals? Maybe that word "diverse" doesn't mean what he thinks it means.

10. What a cruel hoax. In face of the recent CIA purge of anyone
who doesn't support the President's political views, only Bush could
make one of those reverse universe statements. That is whatever he says, he actually means the opposite. He does that continually.

11. example of diverse views
Analyst 1: Tehran has 50 tons of enriched uranium and is actively developing a missile program to deliver nuclear weapons on major population centers in Israel and the United States. This could happen as early as next July. We need to invade Iran today.

Analyst 2: I disagree, I think it is closer to 51 tons but I think the attacks will come in August. We need to invade Iran tomorrow.

15. Bwahahaaaaaaaaaaa!
Oh YEA? I'm the farkin QUEEN too. He's having his lackey Goss gut the place of any DIVERSE views all the while saying he wants 'em?

George W. Bush is SATAN, that's all I can say. He speaks with a forked tongue (when he isn't choking on pretzels, that is - imagine trying to eat pretzels with a forked tongue - see, that was the problem...). Says A, does B, says A, does B, says 1, does 3. Anyone notice a pattern here - a preponderance of evidence, so to speak?

Stupid, lying SOB...
