Useful Idiots
It wasn't until I read David Horowitz' Radical Son several years ago, that I finally got my mind wrapped around the fact that the forces of the Left that were organizing, funding and promoting antiwar demonstrations in America in the 60's and 70's were the very same forces that were organizing and funding the Viet Cong troops we were fighting in the jungles of Vietnam. As a high school and college student during those years, I wasn't anything close to politically engaged, but even then I wasn't unaware of the ideological connection. Still that book and others I read around the same time in the 90's really brought home to me the extent to which Soviet money and propaganda had directly driven the U.S. anti-Vietnam war movement. That the CPUSA took both money and marching orders from Moscow is no longer seriously questioned, and since much of the leadership of the radical Left in America was sympathetic to Soviet-style communism, there was no shortage of willing footsoldiers here at home to spread the word.

Here's a radical idea. Actually doing something to fix the SS problems instead of just talking about it and throwing more money into the black hole. Smash can never run for political office now. The opposition would dredge up this post!

Intelligence
| Hewitt: ...Dr. Rice, over the weekend the Washington Post ran a story about some less than victories in the 90’s vis-à-vis Al Qaeda and the CIA. Your reaction to that story and to the rebuilding of the capabilities of the agency, and is it on course to where you want it to be?
Rice: Yes, well we have had to rebuild the intelligence capabilities of the United States. They went through a very difficult period of time after the collapse of the Soviet Union where a number of people were not foresightful enough to see that we were going to continue to need really strong intelligence services, even if the Soviet Union had been defeated. There were important cuts in the infrastructure of the Central Intelligence Agency in their activities that they are still trying to rebuild. |
