Secret Unit Expands Rumsfeld's Domain

Secret Unit Expands Rumsfeld's Domain (washingtonpost.com)

This is pretty scary, but not unexpected. After all, the Bush administration has made the CIA a whipping boy and scapegoat for its own lies and incompetencies, and downgraded it to the status of public relations arm, "facilitators" of White House policy. So someone has to do the actual espionage.

Under Rumsfeld, don't look for objective, apolitical "intelligence coming from this new espionage agency--look for partisan, politically acceptable excuses for undertaking whatever is the latest dangerous gambit the PNAC has cooked up.

Where is the outrage in America?
