a good reminder, as we vent our outrage over the "outing" of Valerie Plame, that the CIA is really a despicable institution to begin with. someone in another thread asked if 10 years and a fine was sufficient punishment for "outing" a CIA agent. i say that under some circumstances, outing a CIA agent is a good thing. let's remember that most CIA agents are up to no good.

murderers, torturers, kidnappers, betrayers, propagandists, coup plotters, snitches, provocateurs, you name it.
