Reply #12: It wouldn't accomplish anything

How many Watergates has this administration had? The Plame affair, the "Bin Laden Determined to Attack US" memo, 9/11 itself, Abu Ghraib, the Gonzales memo . . . I've lost count. And most of the country doesn't know or doesn't care, as a result of the government's spin machine.

I thought the CIA would spill something in the week before the election, but now I get why they didn't. They knew the fix was in on the election, so turning the electorate against Bush wouldn't do any good. They weren't going to damage their position by revealing something that wouldn't do them any good and might come back to bite them later.

Say what you will about the CIA; the one thing they are is smart.
