Why are so many CIA guys testifying that Bush told them to falsify intelligence??? I thought they were loyal?

Question

One after another has testified before the Senate saying they altered reports to fit the Bush plan.

In the movies the spys are loyal to the death. Who are they loyal to if they are exposing Bush. America???

Answer 1

in the movies the spys are loyal to the death.

Says it all

Answer 2

If you knew the true history of espionage, you'd know that loyalty isn't always these guys' best traits. That said, I don't think any CIA men have testified that Bush asked them to falsify intelligence. Intel was distorted, but by the Pentagon. The rank and file CIA (and I'm not one to defend them usually) seems to have tried to resist the war fervor, if anything.

In short, there was plenty of intel to go around. What was packaged for Congress to look at wasn't the whole story, obviously. There were elements within CIA who reported the possibility that Iraq did not have a working WMD program.

Answer 3

Buuuut isnt being loyal to Bush being loyal to America? He is the "decider" after all. He knows everything.

Im sure our wonderful honorable fearless President would never ever ever tell the CIA to falsify intelligence. He probably doesnt have that much contact with them anyway, was probably Cheney.

Answer 4

Because the Bush Administration needed false information to start a war in Iraq, they lied to the American people. Bush lied to the young men and women in the military service. These people put their lives on the line to ensure our freedom.
Over 3,000 soldiers have died because of this falsification. Presidents can and will be impeached for such things.
Now take Hillary Clinton; she was loyal to her husband after he lied-now that says something don't it?

Answer 5

All you Bush haters ought to locate something on your life to love. All this power wasted on hate. What has this worldwide consistently carried out to great adult adult males who're attempting to make the worldwide a greater desirable place?--killed them (Christ & his Disciples, Lincoln, Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Sadat, Gandhi, greater). people who tore those adult adult males down have been techniques of devil. Are you too? answer for your self. And for you silly people who save calling the Republicans "Nazi's", get a grip. interior the subsequent breath you declare that the U.S. is being commanded by ability of Israel or a minimum of in some way aligned with Israel. in the event that they have been Nazi's, do no longer you think of the Jews may be the final people they could be pals with? you frequently choose for each little thing the two techniques. Get a grip. Twist, wriggle, contort...merely like a working laptop or malicious software attempting to get off the hook.

Answer 6

Not a single CIA operative has ever told anyone that Bush told them to falsify anything. In fact, its just the opposite. After investigations after investigation it has been shown that noone was ever asked to falsify or change or exxagerate any intelligence. In fact, the rest of the world had and agreed upon the exact same intelligence.

I think you need to get YOUR sources correct before you ask such a distorted, false and loaded question.

Answer 7

Saying it does not make it true...where are the FACTS.....OH ...YOU HAVE NONE...if there were CIA agents testifying that the Pres ordered false info to give to congress it would be all over the press....I guess the short bus is going to fantasy land...it knows not of reality...

Answer 8

It's hard to remain loyal to a lying, corrupt, war mongering egomaniac

Answer 9

I would hope they are loyal to the real rulers of America,
The American People. Something the neocons don't have any concept of.

Answer 10

Mainly due to the way that the Bush administration has treated the CIA throughout the last six years.

Outing a covert agent, blaming them for not being able to find a connection between 9/11 and saddam, and not being able to find any proof of (non-existant) WMD's.

Some of them took it for a while, now they are being true to themselves, and it's going to be funny as hell to watch this administration degrade into cannibalism when its every man for himself.
