I especially like this 1999 quotation from Robert Gates, Dubya’s nominee to replace Rumsfeld: “CIA had important successes in covert action. Perhaps the most consequential of all was Afghanistan where CIA, with its management, funnelled billions of dollars in supplies and weapons to the mujahideen, and the resistance was thus able to fight the vaunted Soviet army to a standoff and eventually force a political decision to withdraw.”
Yep — that’s the kind of bold, far-sighted thinking the USA needs!

Well, yeah. After all, they consider their reporting “fair and balanced.” I bet tomorrow they do a report on how Ann Coulter isn’t a criminal.

Media like this (and people like Coulter, Bush and Rumsfeld) make me really embarassed to be American.
