Former Spy With Agenda Operates Own Private CIA by Mark Mazzetti, New York Times. BLUF: “… it is a startling demonstration of how private citizens can exploit the chaos of combat zones and rivalries inside the American government to carry out their own agenda.”
Just what we need – more “true believers” like North and this idiot who thinks America can do no wrong (all the while doing wrong, compromising and delaying actual intelligence operations), all the while sullying our reputation both inside the country and across the world, doing idiotic things that are actually hurting our national/homeland security.
They need to shut this clown down. The last thing we need is morons running around out there, possibly interfering with actual intelligence operations, possibly compromising them.
Matt:
It’s ironic that you condemn Clarridge’s perfectly legal but biased international information gathering operation while reading the information from another legal but biased international information gathering organization.
I’m not sure what this is meant to imply — that because Obama is working with Karzai, that Karzai is good to go? Or that Clarridge’s efforts are futile?
This is old news. Wasn’t his operation already shut down before?
No, this is a follow on story. This “operation” lost it’s government funding before…
What is your guesstimate of the net worth of AWK? Around 100 million?
Given the CIA track record on weapons of mass destruction, I think we can use all the help we can get. If this guy has a good network, why waste it?
This is not the only firm doing this kind of business, I think he is being singled out for no good reason.
