The CIA Directors' Letter

Seven former CIA directors sent a letter to Wonderboy last week imploring him to call his AG off of the CIA witch hunt.

Here's the text of the letter, posted on the RealClearPolitics website. The seven signatories are:
Michael Hayden, Porter Goss, George Tenet, John Deutch, R. James Woolsey, William Webster, and James R. Schlesinger.

Some have made much of the omission of Stan Turner and (former President) George H. Bush. I mentioned this to my friend, B, at lunch on Monday. He noted that Bush wasn't at the Kennedy funeral, and may not be entirely capable of participating in an issue of this depth. Ditto for Turner. I Googled Carter's CIA Director and learned his is 86 years old.

It's very likely that these two simply aren't in shape to join this sort of effort.

Thus, the statement, "every living CIA Director not associated with the current administration" an almost-quote of Fox News contributor Charles Krauthammer, might be more pragmatically amended to read, "every living CIA Director able to address this issue, and not associated with the current administration."

Krauthammer has taken some heat online for his technically incorrect statement. But, practically speaking, I believe he is correct.

This letter is a stunning event and clear warning to voters of the magnitude of Wonderboy's administration's stripping America of its defenses.

You don't get this type of unanimity among such a large collection of politically-appointed executives spanning over thirty years of CIA service.

We can only hope our First Rookie pays attention and responds positively to this commique. If he doesn't, and Holder proceeds, this is going to become a serious problem for US security. But, on the bright side, another piece of fuel for the movement that will drive Wonderboy from office in three years, and, hopefully, his party from control of the House next year.
