They don't need your help

Um, what was up with Brooks on Saturday? Why exactly does he think the administration needs his help to do its dirty work cleaning out all of those disloyal yet oh-so-accurate analysts at the CIA who broke with Iraq policy? I mean, I think we could have all predicted that Bush would go this route after he was reelected and no one would care whether it looked like an admission of guilt (which it obviously is), but DB, what could you possibly get out of it? After you read Brooks, go read Josh Marshall on the CIA purge. Brooks' bleating about mean disloyal analysts looks even more petty in light of the real-world catastrophes that politicizing the intelligence community have caused over the past four years.
