(25 posts)To your point yes..but it goes a little further then that.

The CIA didn't stop the use of or misrepresentation of thier report to the point of letting an illegal war take shape.
Point of fact: once again..now..like then, they only come clean after the fact.
All I'm saying (in IMO not trying to say your wrong I'm right) we shouldn't kill the messenger, but we definitely need to remind ourselves of the messengers credibility and capacity to help spin false narratives.
We need to remember how the messenger has a proven capacity to come clean only after damage has been done...and rewarding that doesn't help prevent the next they could have rigged but zagged crisis.
We're progressives, not the tinfoil Bubba group..we verify, then trust before blindly parroting things because it fits OUR suspicions.
