If its good for the CIA, it's good for me.
Really? Despite their motivations to distort reality and after all the incompetence they displayed over the decades, you still consider CIA a credible source? You're not even reading their internal reports, these are just some leaks and statements to the press.
- akhilcacharya 9y agoYes, really, because the alternative is abandoning all reason and believing a hostile pariah state.
- sievebrain 9y agoIsn't that circular? Part of the reason you believe Russia is a hostile pariah state is because the CIA tells you it is. As for "If don't believe US intelligence agencies I've abandoned all reason" ... just laughable, really
- akhilcacharya 9y agoI saw the pictures of the bodies in Donetsk after MH17 and the propaganda war that followed, at this point it is self-evident.
- emodendroket 9y agoWhat does Ukrainian separatists (who, yes, enjoy Russian backing) mistakenly shooting down a passenger plane have to do with Russians supposedly hacking the DNC? It's like saying the US must be making it up because look at the pictures of Abu Ghraib.
- vim_wannabe 9y agoEh... You are not supposed to believe everything CIA says is true. The most basic application of 'Critical reading' and evaluation of their past statements disproves that. If you want to 'believe in' CIA (as opposed to the 'hostile state'), what you should believe is that whatever CIA tells you to believe is beneficial to you and the States, regardless of if it is true. Now of course you might be thinking, are you and the States really millions of Afghan, Iraqi, Libyan and Syrian lives more safe?
