Meanwhile, as combat rages across Iraq and American soldiers die at a
rate of three a day, the Bush Administration is falling down on the
job when it comes to catching the guy who the "war on terror" is
supposed to be all about.
Osama bin Laden is still at large, and, barring a special Karl Rove
October Surprise, is likely to remain that way - that is, according to
experienced CIA counterterrorism officer Michael Scheuer.
Last week Scheuer sent a letter to Congress claiming that "the
headquarters unit assigned to bin Laden has fewer experienced case
officers now than on Sept. 11, 2001."
Don't worry about it!
In related news, George W. Bush has nominated Porter Goss to be the
new head of the CIA.
According to CBS News, "Last October, explaining why he did not want
to launch an investigation of a White House official's possibly
illegal leaking of a CIA officer's name to the press, Goss made
reference to the Clinton impeachment saga. 'Somebody sends me a blue
dress and some DNA, I'll have an investigation,' Goss said."
Yes, Porter Goss sure seems like a man you can trust to take national
security seriously and who will definitely not use it as some kind of
partisan weapon to hammer Democrats with.
Don't worry about it!
