Spy Game Dame

Must-read from the WaPo.

Fired Officer Believed CIA Lied to Congress

Recently canned CIA bigwig (Inspector General,) Mary McCarthy is, through her "friends," revealing that she thinks, well, that CIA lied to Congress, as the headline indicates. No point putting pull quotes here, it's all equally important if you care, unimportant if you don't.

The important thing to remember is that this is all tied to Goss/Foggo and Hookergate, which in turn is all tied to the White House's paranoid delusion that the CIA is out to get them. (Yet at the same time, it's not hard to see why they might think that.)

And all too creepily reminiscent, at least in our imagination, of
what we know to have been going on in the embittered, embattled Nixon Oval Office.
