Conservative Book List

A Couple of Books About the Central Intelligence Agency




This is former CIA Director George Tenet's memoir of his time leading the CIA.  He discusses his views on the 9/11 attacks,War in Iraq and Afghanistan and the War on Terror.  Although he doesn't answer it,he asks the biggest question of all.

Was war with Iraq inevitable from the moment Bush the Younger became president?




There is a section towards the end  of this book that I find especially interesting.  It refers to the CIA as a type of "Yale Men's Club" and discusses heavy recruiting of personnel from that institution and a culture of Yale superiority.  Given the number of people who have recently been either the POTUS or runner-up for that position that come from Yale and it's Ivy League cohorts, Harvard and Columbia, I must wonder.  Is there some type of psyops operation?  Maybe certain elements within the CIA operate a little closer to home than we may like?
