Limbaugh caller claims to be ex-CIA, casts doubt on NIE report
Of all the spin I've heard so far, this one takes the cake. This guy claiming that he used to serve in the CIA calls up Slimeball's program to talk about the NIE report. He claimed that the NIE report can only source "lower level" intel, and that higher level intelligence, not available to the writers of the NIE report, would show that Iran was still developing nuclear weapons.

Sorry guys, not this time.

1. It was probably Dick or Rummy or some other neo-con hack
wouldn't put it past them.

2. Scooter has a lot of free time on his hands these days.
No doubt he would be available for such things.

3. I get so tired of the insult to our intelligence--these morans must think we are all as
braindead as the sheeples.

4. Limbaugh's butt pimples must have been popping like champagne corks in celebration
Of course Limbaugh doesn't have to back it up, it's just one of his anonymous callers.

33. no, CT scans prove that those are

6. I'm sure that Rush checked his credentials and did a thorough search on the caller
before using him ... :sarcasm:

Lord knows he doesn't want to use the word of a "phoney agent" ...

8. Seems to me that all the "ex CIA" people who talk to the media at all
have all been opposed to the Chimpministration's agenda. I doubt that they would use Mush Limpdick as a channel for communicating.

10. as believable as the "we have new information"
and the buthole not asking what the new information is or McConnel not forwarding it, until last week that is. really, low level, high level, we get it you neo-nuts, you've built this Iran monster construct to galvanize the wing nut base who believe war is the answer to everything. Now that Iraq turned out to be a dud, you got to go delusional on Iran

16. I bet it's the former CIA op that Fox News uses all the time
Wayne somebody....

Little pissant's take is always the opposite of whatever anyone from the armed forces or current intelligence may have to say.

Call me a doubter, but somehow I have a feeling that intelligence agencies don't make a normal habit of feeding information that contradicts the official line to former operatives.

25. Ah yes, the "higher level intelligence"...
Now the useful tool Freeptards have been assuaged and thusly put back on track. Yes, the mysterious ex-CIA; that's the ticket!!

32. seriously?
can you IMAGINE how rush would react if the same guy called up a left-wing radio host? he'd be calling for the show to be pulled from the air for 'LEAKING secret intel' at the very least. i'd love to see a transcript of this call.
