CIA Agent Details Nuclear Terror Threat

[johnfunk]

One of the Central Intelligence Agency's foremost experts on Osama bin Laden has stepped out of the shadows and joined the public debate over past mistakes and future strategy in the war on terror.

Opinions are nothing new for Michael Scheuer - who created and advised a secret CIA unit for tracking and eliminating bin Laden, and who has been at the center of a battle between the CIA and the White House over the best policies to pursue in the Mideast and the Arab world.

What is new for Scheuer - who resigned from the intelligence agency on Friday - is commenting by name.

1. I saw the '60 Minutes' segment last night

and I don't think I care anymore if they nuke us or not. I'm suffering from terror fatigue.

Anyone else feeling contempt and betrayed by our government?

The last four years have reminded me of that 60's song, 'Eve of Destruction'.

2. That is...

Exactly the response they are looking for. Both the terrorists and the government.

It is hell whe your own government manipulates this for their own benefit. Just crap.

3. I know how you feel

After 9/11, which occurred a few hundred feet from my office, I used contacts all over the world to assist the US Government in any way I could and I asked nothing in return. I thought it was my duty as a citizen of the Republic, even though I despised Bush then and now. Frankly, I now feel used and betrayed.

I won't help any more. I don't even feel like a citizen of the United States.
