This was an intense focus that in the 70s most of this came to light in the church committees and this was a real revelation what the cia had been doing. A really wrenching experience for people who had been in the cia and not accustomed to much congressional oversight. All of a sudden on television, all of the dirty laundry of the first three decades of its existence was being aired. And this had an effect according to both memoirs and documents and number of people ive spoken to from this period of of the generation that came in after the church committee, that those who came in in the late 70s, came under this period when the cia was trying to reorient itself back to being a traditional Espionage Service, not only the covert actions of the 70s early 50s and 60s but also the ....

The full soviet period but are predominantly about the 70s and early 80s. There is relatively little there about the stalin period. There are a few very interesting things, but much less about the stalin period than i had thought there might be. There is also a good deal less about the 50s and early 60s. As you move into the 60s, it increases, but particularly as in the the large majority of it deals with the 70s and early 80s. So you can find very important things there.

Single qualified arabic speaking officer of a middle eastern background who can believe a believable muslim sharing his life, for christs sake, most case officers lived in the suburbs of virginia. We dont do that kind of thing. Right . Thats a great quote. Another quote this time from an active cia case officer, operations that include diarrhea as a way of life dont happen. While were on the subject i would add to this operations that include lack of toilet paper as a way of life dont happen either.

Its difficu ....
extended war. and with job creation, that is a sticking point. and i m not sure president obama, great speech maker that he is can explain to the american public why we need to be doing that. that s what they face. there was reference made by senator levin to the republicans. can you inform our audience about what the republican reaction is going to be if senator levin has the president s message right? i guess the most most republicans have stressed the need to have an iraq-type surge in afghanistan, which means a significant amount of troops, about 40,000. they probably would support more. and senator levin was referencing the fact that if president obama doesn t do that, anything below that would prompt criticism from the republican party. if he wants to sends 40,000 troops, that means that some of his biggest supporters in congress would be the republican party because you aren t going to see that level of strong support from the democrats. he wasn t saying ....
