Reply #24: Gabi, this is my gut reaction, without having further information:

[The Backlash Cometh]

Yes, he could be a Bush shill, but that doesn't mean that everything that he says that is negative about the CIA is wrong or false. Sometimes, the only way that we peons can see what really goes on in the backroom, is when there is a mayor conflict in the backroom -- a Clash of the Titans between two opposing powerful forces. Then, each side will try to weaken the other side by revealing the other side's secrets to the public.

The CIA has already done this. Remember the CIA already revealed information about the Bush Administration in order to discredit them, and that information turned out to be true. Now, maybe with the Bush Administration's green light, this CIA guy retaliates by spilling information to discredit the CIA. WE in turn, must separate the chaff from the wheat. Now that he has our attention, he might think he has our confidence to plug the Bush Administration, but if we're wise, we'll just milk the information we find useful, and then use it to mount a scorched earth scenario between the dark side of the CIA and the White House.

Sometimes these inner fights are the closest thing to the truth that we peons will ever get. That is the only way that the "shadow government" will be seen -- when it begins to implode. So, don't think in polar terms. I think this guy brings information that we need to hear, but he is obviously not 100% saint according to the information you bring to the table.
