I have to say that in the 15 years since I left Washington, things have only gotten more political and more corrupt. Yes, there were always a few that did the bidding of a particular Administration, but they were usually policy weenies and not intelligence community. I was sick to my stomach when I saw what they did with Bush to justify invading Iraq, and I honestly thought that would pass with Cheney and his particular band of Merrymen. Instead, I've watched it become more entrenched and it sickens me. What has happened to personal integrity and ethics? That political nonsense used to stay on Hill and not find its way into the staff. Some political appointees would try it and were generally slow rolled until they left. Not anymore. I'm very glad I am retired.
