Time To Abolish Or Reform CIA
Tucker Carlson on Fox News this week arrived at the same conclusion we have been pushing for a couple of years now. Namely, it is time to abolish or reform the CIA.
Why? On a purely practical level, this is an agency that has an extensive track record of performing poorly and failing to predict many of the most groundshaking events of the past 50 or so years. But, on top of its abysmal predictive powers, the CIA has been a den of vile and violent characters, individuals who go so far as to make threats against elective officials who oppose the CIA.
There’s plenty to oppose. This is an agency knee-deep in drug smuggling. It’s an agency that has engaged in human trafficking. There are even signs its officers have committed gross child abuse. Now, we have ex-CIA officers like Phil Mudd going on CNN and talking about sending “shivs” up the backs of the agency’s detractors. Mudd is a disgrace. Same for John Brennan, the former CIA director. Because of derelict men like them — men who have the moral framework of demons — it’s time to either decommission the CIA or seriously reform that misguided agency.
