It seems like only yesterday that members of Congress bitterly determined that the CIA didn’t sufficiently or accurately brief themabout various important secret activities. That’s because it was! But today is a new day, and *no one *on the Hill wants to talk about whether they’ve been briefed on the small matter of the CIA paying Ahmed Wali Karzai, the powerful Kandahar rainmaker/druglord/Roger Clinton.
I hope other reporters have better luck. But I’ve been in contact with a number of congressional offices that work on intelligence matters, and I have gotten an affirmative response from exactly none. I’ve gotten off the recordresponses that there won’t be any comment or any clarification. Why aren’t I identifying these offices? Because I’ve got to deal with them down the road. Life is unfair.
As I say, I hope other reporters have better luck. I’ll link to you!
