05/29/2003 Entry: "William Casey's ghost"

"Another complaint that has surfaced in this connection relates to the politicization of the intelligence collection and analysis process under the present Bush administration. Such complaints were heard frequently during the presidency of Ronald Reagan when William Casey was the director of the CIA and DCI. In testimonies before the Congressional intelligence oversight committees, serving and retired officers of the CIA accused Robert Gates, then the head of the analysis division of the CIA, who subsequently became the director of the CIA, of pressurizing them to produce the kind of reports that Casey and Reagan wanted, even if they went contrary to established facts."
US looking for intelligent answers, by B Raman, Asia Times, May 27, 2003

Next time you're having those Iran/Contra flashbacks or still wondering why the CIA completely missed the disintegration of the Soviet Union....

PS. I think Donald Rumsfeld is dangerously out of control and/or possessed by William Casey's restless spirit.
