"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." --C.S. Lewis

Huh?

"So the CIA established policies that it knew would be controversial and would damage American interests if revealed, and then leaked the existence of those policies to the Washington Post for the purpose of damaging the Bush administration. And now the administration is trying to defend the CIA. Why, I wonder?"

-John Hinderaker, Powerline

At first glance this looks like a complicated movie-plot that has the CIA wresting foreign policy control from a sitting President. On closer examination it simply looks like a typical, bloated, unaccountable US Government agency where the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing - possibly a more dangerous situation where this agency is concerned. Hey Porter, who's running the ship over there?
