THE ROBERT W. WHITAKER ARCHIVE

WHERE WERE ALL THOSE INTELLIGENCE SERVICE HEROES WHEN US "EXTREMISTS" WERE CRITICIZING THE LIBERALS? | 2002-06-01

All those Military Experts and Security Experts we are paying may look like Tough Guy Heroes when they are making conservatives crawl. But when they face real criticism, they have a torrent of excuses.

For instance, security experts are always whining about how liberals like Senator Torricelli crippled their work. But not a one of them said a single word about Torricelli or any other liberal back when we needed those Tough Guy Heroes to say something.

If anybody in Intelligence had complained about liberals crippling their work when we needed them to, their superiors would have ruined them, and we all know it. None of the Tough Guy Heroes is Tough and Heroic out in public when it counts.

When those of us who dared complain when it counted did complain, the Intelligence Experts would testify about how patriotic the wonderful liberals like Senators Church and Torricelli were.
