Sigh... one last time:


I wrote: "We now have a brand-new intelligence agency that reports
directly to the White House called the HIG. *Three letters, as in KGB.
Coincidence?"


You wrote: "your contention is that all 3 letter intelligence groups
are evil"


Then I pondered: "Wow... you took my comparison of the HIG to the KGB
as an assertion that *all* 3 letter intelligence groups are evil?!?"


Then you accused me of moving the goalposts? *I'll type slowly... I
compared the HIG to the KGB. *Not to any other agency. *Not to "all"
three letter agencies. *Just the KGB. *"The KGB maintained the one-
party Soviet State by suppressing "ideological subversion" (political
dissent) and anti-Soviet public figures (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn,
Andrei Sakharov, et al.)." *That KGB.


Got it, nudnick?


I agree it is a mistake is falling for the little known "Three Letter
Directive."
This has been propagated by SMERSH and CHAOS to direct attention away
from them by misdirecting attention to three letter operations.
Some of us aren't fooled by this.
Even the "fact"http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1918298,00.html

that the HIG will be administered by the FBI and be provided
"strategic policy guidance" by the NSC should be considered
in context of "Three Letter Directive."
Note the usual sleight of hand in tossing out three letter agencies.
Good to see you are on your toes.

Humorous Vic, but even your own reference states: "allowing the NSC
(which is essentially a White House arm) to have oversight of the HIG
might give Obama and future Presidents too much control..."

Why create more bureaucracy when we already have plenty in place? And
then place it under the control of the White House?
