    Went sour? Those are the CIA at the height of their successes. If you want to look into their failures, as Congress has done maybe once or twice or perhaps thrice, you’ll find things you might rather you’d didn’t know. Certainly so if you’d prefer to believe secrecy somehow fosters honor, sacrifice and nobility of spirit. Something akin to believing that warm, dark, moist conditions foster, not fungus and bugs and gelatinous menaces, but disease cures and beautiful people. Or like believing the emporer’s new clothes must really be grand indeed, or why would the tailors’ve needed to be paid so handsomely for them?

    So don’t turn the rock over unless you’re ready for what you’ll see.

    Me, I think the giveaway that this latest “slam dunk” is perhaps less important than they’d have you believe, is that their explanations for why [Gasp, shock, horror!] someone might seek to influence foreign elections are typically asinine.
