I have been unhappy with the CIA for some time. This article from 2005 explains the reasons better than I can. The issue is raised once again because Michael Scheuer, the CIA’s former bin Laden hunter, has another book coming out. Anyone who wants to know where this began and why we are here, should read anything they can find from Lawrence Wright. Scheuer is a waste of time but understanding why might help to see why we were so unprepared.
