Of Course :: Reader comments at Daniel Pipes

Submitted by Mark Werfel (United States), Sep 15, 2014 at 10:28

Why would any thinking individual be surprised?

By the way, if one looks at the atrocious CIA record, and US military adventures of the past several decades, one will conclude that unbiased advice was worthless but costly. The US ruling elite and the political classes are in power because of their power; and not because of merit. This space falls far short of what would be needed to record examples; but we can all see results.
