The GAO just released a report that said 22 percent of federal programs fail to meet their objectives. The truth is we don't know how taxpayer money is spent in Washington D.C. which is why I think we ought to put every agency budget up on the Internet for everyone to see.
Men often oppose a thing merely because they have had no agency in planning it or because it may have been planned by those whom they dislike.

When I came to the CIA in the mid-'90s our graduating class of case officers was unbelievably low. Now after years of rebuilding our training programs and putting our best efforts to recruit the most talented men and women we are graduating more clandestine officers than at any time in the history of the Central Intelligence Agency.
How can faceless bureaucrats in an intelligence agency deny brave soldiers a chance to tell the truth?
George Tenet has been the director of central intelligence since 1997 time enough to have changed the Agency's culture. He has failed. He should go.
