Re: House Intel Committee Chair: US Is At ‘The Highest Threat Level We Have Ever Face
No, he said they can have an impulse to do that. But they don't. They analyze intelligence. You will find no statement by Gates that the analysts criticize policy.
He did not say it was they are analyzing intel, he is saying they assess the policy, determine it is misguided (a criticism), directly tell the policymaker it is failing. This is all about direct dealings with current policy, with the responsible policymaker.
But keep digging Jack, the molten core awaits.
