Holy Shit!

It looks like Tyler Drumheller's appearance on 60 Minutes last Sunday was the straw that broke the camel's back for the Bolsheviks in the Bush Regime.

As you may remember, Drumheller, the CIA's top man in Europe during the run-up to the Iraq Catastrophe, revealed that Bush, Cheney, and Rice knew a year before the U.S. invasion that Iraq had no active WMD programs. Here's BushCo's apparent response to Drumheller's accusation (from The National Journal):

The CIA has imposed new and tighter restrictions on the books, articles, and opinion pieces published by former employees who are still contractors with the intelligence agency. According to several former CIA officials affected by the new policy, the rules are intended to suppress criticism of the Bush administration and of the CIA. The officials say the restrictions amount to an unprecedented political "appropriateness" test at odds with earlier CIA policies on outside publishing.

The move is a significant departure from the CIA's longtime practice of allowing ex-employees to take critical or contrary positions in public, particularly when they are contractors paid to advise the CIA on important topics and to publish their assessments.
