...But Clinton, the ever clever bastard, was more
insidious. Little, systematic changes were undertaken to destroy
America's intelligence agencies.
Let me explain. A regular NewsMax reader, "Roger," was
a CIA spy in the Mideast.
I met him almost two years ago. Roger wanted to tell
me why a gung-ho American quit the CIA in disgust.
Roger said the CIA was not interested in recruiting
spies.
Clinton and company knew they could not just tell the
CIA to stop recruiting spies. That would look stupid and embarrassing.
So they just changed the rules of how spies are
recruited, raising the bar on requirements to such a high degree that the
most valuable spies could never meet CIA standards and couldn't work for
us.
Previously, I wrote how Clinton effectively stopped
the recruitment of Chinese nationals by demanding that only high-ranking
embassy officials could be recruited – knowing this is almost impossible.
Roger told me that. Roger reminded me again of this today.
He noted that Clinton policies reached their zenith
under CIA Director John Deutch and his top assistant, Nora Slatkin. The
pair ran Clinton's CIA in the mid-1990s and implemented a "human rights
scrub" policy.
Here's how Roger described it in an e-mail Tuesday
evening: "Deutch and Nora, Clinton's anti-intelligence plants,
implemented a universal 'human rights scrub' of all assets, virtually
shutting down operations for 6 months to a year. This was after something
happened in Central America (there was an American woman involved who was
the common law wife of a commie who went missing there) that got a lot of
bad press for the agency.
"After that, each asset had to be certified as being
'clean for human rights violations.'
"What this did was to put off limits, in effect, terrorists,
criminals, and anyone else who would have info on these kinds of people."
Roger says the CIA, even under new leadership, has
never recovered from the "Human Rights Scrub" policy.
Perhaps that was the intention.
But we, the American people, Congress, and honest
media need to examine all of these issues, now and quickly. If we don't,
we risk even more grave dangers than those that we just lived through.
