Anyone really believe what the CIA says?
I don't. And I get tired of the incessant whining on their part that they have to do "the dirty work" for administrations. No, they need to follow the law. Period.

I don't trust these people. They have no interest in having the truth be known ever.

4. The agency can't refuse and an order that falls outside the law?
That's BS.

6. No -- on the other hand, there are apparently factions. Plame was one of the good ones, for example
But I view these selective leaks with skepticism.

8. CIA - founded by the Bush Crime Family, and their fellow Hitler loving criminals
What couldn't be accomplished through a direct coup in the 30s and 40s was carried out by the CIA ever since. They are beyond merely corrupt, they are the embodiment of evil.

9. Yes. Completely. Implicitly. Without question. If they say it, it must be so.
We're talking about the online CIA World Fact Book, right?
