I disagree...in this political climate...intelligence information is
`infecting' the opposition's agenda, and being used for political 
purposes, as a
legitimate source of information. Such intelligence agents, either wittingly or
unwittingly who expose such "unbiased" information should be fired as they are
endangering the interests of the United States and other agents. Far too often,
such agents and politicians do not give the entire picture...and thus are
agents of `smear' campaigns, especially when such agents know that the entire
background cannot be told as it will endanger ongoing operations, or 
endanger the
lives of individuals still living in harms' way.
