Agencies with no oversight are seen as competent? That's news to me. There's a definite waste of taxpayer dollars on propaganda to try to make this point publicly but I didn't think anyone was poorly educated enough to actually believe it.
- outer_web 2y agoSorry are you claiming that the United States intelligence community is incompetent and that anyone who things otherwise is poorly educated? What are you basing this on?
- timewizard 2y agoYes. History. Are you genuinely incredulous?
- outer_web 2y agoYeah man, you sound like a 14-year old edgelord who just learned about the Bay of Pigs. How many contemporary security professionals would call them 'competent' versus 'incompetent'?
