John Miller, who did "60 Minutes" infomercial for NSA, spent 6 years as Deputy Director

http://www.cbsnews.com/team/john-miller/

John Miller was named a senior correspondent for CBS News on Oct. 17, 2011. In this capacity, Miller reports for all CBS News platforms and broadcasts, including "CBS This Morning," "CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley," and occasionally for "60 Minutes."

Beginning in 2005, Miller served in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, ending his tour as Deputy Director of the Analysis Division. John worked across the Intelligence Community with the CIA, NSA, FBI, and other agencies.

Before joining the FBI, he served from 2003 to 2005 as head of the Counterterrorism and Criminal Intelligence Bureau and the Major Crimes Division of the Los Angeles Police Department, overseeing both the LAPD's Major Crimes Division, Hazardous Materials Unit and its Bomb Squad.

In 2002, Miller, along with co-authors Michael Stone and Chris Mitchell, wrote "The Cell: Inside the 9/11 Plot" and "Why the FBI and CIA Failed to Stop It", an investigation into the September 11 attacks, which drew on relationships developed with intelligence and law enforcement officers in the many years he spent as a journalist covering Al Qaeda as it grew into a global terrorist operation.

This is such an obvious whitewash job that calling it "Reporting" is an insult to all real reporters and the important work they do for us.

Their major stakeholder, Westinghouse is a major defense contractor.

There's a good documentary running on LinkTV right now, "Shadows of Liberty", that exposes the corruption of our so called "liberal media", and CBS in particular. Many of the stories they've killed over the last several decades, reporters fired, and remember the Dan Rather fiasco?

Two NSA-CIA PR puff pieces about a month apart?
