It looks like someone had been reading Robert Baer...
Unfortunately, I think quite a few Americans will die as a result. How do you gather human intelligence if you don't have Arabic-speaking officers out in the field running agents?
This new PC attitude has spilled over into other federal agencies tasked with protecting out national security. How do we wear down an enemy when you aren't allowed to attack the source of the their supplies? How do you end a fringe religious uprising without acknowledging that it is religiously based?
We like to be the nice guys, which makes us different from everyone else. While it is a testament to the fairness, greatness, and goodness of the American people, it won't get us very far with our enemies.

You must be one of those "The ends justify the means" people.
We will never really know just how "politically correct" the CIA will be despite what they say. It is inherently a dishonest institution that is just as comfortable telling lies and half truths to the American Congress, media, and people as it is to our enemies.
How much should this country sacrifice it's principals to make sure that there is gas at the pump tomorrow morning?
I don't know how many will die as a result of the CIA's changes, but we already know how many have died in the Middle East as a direct result of the "NON-politically correct" CIA's ineptness.

well when you look at all the americans who have died as a result of the CIA's involvement in bringing cocaine into our country and selling it to the america people, you can continue to expect high casualities.
