Knew that the Bush administration's treatment of the CIA as a tool and doormat would bite us in the butt:

Deep policy divisions within the Bush administration and CIA opened the door for Al-Qaida to pose as great a threat as ever, intelligence officials say.

Making the professionals in the intelligence look like fools in the run-up to the Iraq magical adventure and the outing of Valerie Plame was due to take its toll in low morale, resentment and the eye being taking off the ball, not to mention the generation of articles such as these.

In the meantime McCain has lashed himself to this mast as he attempts to sail into the presidency.
