• Why is the regime in Washington supporting al-Qaeda in Libya but

Isn't the CIA there to make sure that you're supporting the moderate
good guys?

That's what they _say_. In truth, we should fear the CIA and its
stringpullers far more than we should fear its adversaries.

When an entity or person works in the dark, with that much secrecy,
it should give all of us pause.

In truth, Intelligence needs to work outside the range of public
vision to be effective. But we have to trust that it works to our
benefit, and that it works within the limits of good conscience. Trouble
is, we can't know, once the shrouds of secrecy are up, whether either of
those things are true.

And History has not borne good witness.
