He wouldn't be CIA if he is trying to defend Bush. Bush threw the CIA under the bus for his acts. stevenleser Mar 2013 #22
He ''covers'' CIA for TIME. As for what TIME Inc and the Media do on behalf of CIA... Octafish Mar 2013 #35
None of that means anything in this context. The CIA probably hates Bush. They would not cover for stevenleser Mar 2013 #37
It absolutely does. The real bosses stay in power, no matter who sits in the Oval Office. Octafish Mar 2013 #39
I disagree. I've never seen evidence of any such influence. stevenleser Mar 2013 #40

That's pretty milquetoast. I thought you said the CIA was pro-Bush and pro-Republican. stevenleser Mar 2013 #44
You stated you never see CIA influence in the media. I showed it to you. Octafish Mar 2013 #49
It's milquetoast because it doesnt rise to the level of what I thought you were suggesting stevenleser Mar 2013 #50
The CIA had actual 'reporters' planted in the media. Were you around during the Bush years btw? sabrina 1 Mar 2013 #56
In what way did he throw them under the bus? He awarded Tenet the medal of freedom. nm rhett o rick Mar 2013 #54
Bush 'cleansed' the CIA and remolded it to his liking. He made sure to replace any dissenters sabrina 1 Mar 2013 #53
I think he got some help from Cheney, but I guess that goes without saying. rhett o rick Mar 2013 #55
Lol, well as we all know, Cheney was the real president. Bush probably just did as he was told. sabrina 1 Mar 2013 #57
I know this may sound weird but I feel a little sorry for him. rhett o rick Mar 2013 #68
