“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

CIA calls on psychic friends network

This is just a ridiculous waste of taxpayers money:
Having failed to find banned weapons in Iraq, the CIA is preparing a final report on its search that will speculate on what the deposed regime's capabilities might have looked like years from now if left unchecked, according to congressional and intelligence officials.

The CIA plans for the report, due next month, to project as far as 2008 what Iraq might have achieved in its illegal weapons programs if the United States had not invaded the country last year, the officials said.

I would not be as upset as I am if the article made reference to someone who could actually see into the future. But it could be a fun exercise. My prediction would have to do with an alien alliance and a battle much like the movie Independence Day. Or Mars Attacks!

Or, maybe by 2008 the Iraqi people would have developed gills and be able to hide in the oceans around America and attack quickly before returning to the sea. Oh, what about death ray eye lasers...
