ex-CIA Agent on Fox News
On the runup to its 'big story' re: Valerie Plame on Sunday, Fox "News" interviewed Lindsey Moran, a CIA Agent who resigned in 2003.

I wonder if Fox did its homework and learned that Moran resigned out of disgust - the CIA had become a political arm of the administration. It was never mentioned in the interview.

Even more important, by the time I left, I felt deeply at odds with the Agency’s direction and mission. After 9/11, the primary charge of the Agency should have been clear: protecting the United States of America and its citizens from the growing threat of international terrorism, as well as predicting and preventing the next wide-scale attack. It seemed to me, and I would venture to say, to many of my colleagues, that the Agency was being almost imperceptibly co-opted in support of certain political ends. I was neither the first nor the last among my group of fellow trainees to resign. In no small part, our leaving was due to our shared disillusionment with an organization that we once had revered.

2. Anyone who engages in debate with RWers needs to be ready
for InsHannity's lies. They'll be catapulting the propaganda.

3. wonder if the man has clearance to talk about Valerie Plame
Apparently her employment is so classified that the CIA sued her to prevent her from publishing the dates of her employment.

Wonder what his clearance is or was.

4. The link doesn't work and can't tell if you are referring to last
Sunday, tomorrow, or some Sunday in 2004 - the date that appears in the URL you gave us.
