Reply #7: Now I wonder about all of the other intel [View All]

Clinton was getting. How accurate was it? Was it deliberately falsified to make Clinton look incompetent?


I understand that Poppy was recieving daily reports from the CIA all through the '90s, which was considered very unusual, but OK legally for ex-Presidents. I dont' have any links for this; it was something I read a while ago and have never found any corroboration.

If true it sure would be nice to know what Poppy's role was during this time. If I were to venture a guess I would say that he worked very hard to turn Iraq into a demon as well as undermine Clinton's foreign policy.

This lies at the root of the problem with our intelligence "failures". There were the honest people in the intelligence community that supplied good intel, but the "cowboys"/Christians in Action crowd politicized the environment.
