The Unique Resource Available to All 2016 Candidates: VIPS | Common Dreams | Breaking News & Views for the Progressive Community

Ray McGovern and other intelligence professionals offer their services to any and all candidates.

Article includes the group's input to various administrations and officials for the last 13 years. Would that their advice had been followed.

Hope the link to Common Dreams works.

Such advice could help guide US policy, if policy makers are interested in brutal truth.

They are definitely not interested in brutal truth. The mindmerge with the NWO plan and one world gov't doesn't fit that mold.
 
It will be interesting if anybody avails themselves of these services.

I'm convinced there are good men in the CIA, whatever the number.

I dunno, they can claim they warned all kindsa things, don't recall any of that at the time. IMO the CIA is like a broken clock, maybe correct twice a day- IF you look at it at exactly the correct time. The CIA has a brutal track record of missing far more than they catch. Our Presidents are caught flat footed repeatedly. Little things like the Berlin Wall falling and the collapse of the Warsaw Pact, Missed the Arab Spring, death of Kim Jon Il. Missed Yom Kippur in '73, missed the revolution in Iran that tossed our guy, the Shah out. Russian invasion of Afghanistan in '79, Indian and Paki nuclear tests in 1998. 9/11...

I'm sure these guys would love to help- fee plus Per Diem... wadda country.... :peace

Yes, I see your point and it's valid.

That said, not being an employee of the Agency, I suspect that what we are told by the media about the CIA is rather the "final product", that meant for public consumption. Any disagreements within the agency, any conflicting assessments for example, are not made public about such events as you mentioned. We might have been told the truth about such assessments in the end, but I doubt very much we were told the whole truth.

I think that is McGovern's point.
