How Bush-hating CIA Bureaucrats Are Sabotaging the War on Terror
Since the attacks on September 11, 2001, intelligence collection has become the number-one weapon in the effort to defeat al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden. A plot penetrated is an attack stopped. And to the outside observer, the CIA has performed well as a key partner in the Bush administration's War on Terror. But as Rowan Scarborough reveals in this groundbreaking new book, significant elements within the CIA are undermining both the president and national security through leaks, false allegations, and outright sabotage.

Using his first-rate sources in all levels of national security--from field officers to high-ranking analysts to former intelligence heads--Scarborough paints a disturbing picture of partisan politics endangering the success of our campaigns abroad and the very lives of our soldiers and agents.

In Sabotage, you'll learn:

* How CIA analysts repeatedly leak details about classified intelligence programs with the dual intent of ending them and damaging the president
* How, on at least eight occasions, intelligence officials have made serious allegations of wrongdoing against the president's men--which turned out to be false
* Why, contrary to popular belief, the CIA has become predominantly liberal
* How a CIA turf battle prevented special operators from pursuing and capturing a notorious Taliban leader
* How current and former CIA officers fueled conspiracy theories that President Bush orchestrated the 9/11 attacks on America
* How a CIA leak to the New York Times deprived the U.S. of critical information in the War on Terror
* How press leaks by the CIA have damaged relations with our foreign allies in the War on Terror
* How a CIA analyst worked with Democrats to sabotage the nomination of John Bolton to the UN
* How Clinton's downsizing of the CIA led to the closing of stations in scores of jihadist breeding grounds--including Hamburg, Germany, where the 9/11 plot was hatched

The CIA's job is to collect facts and let the White House, the Pentagon, and the State Department make national security policy. But, as Scarborough conclusively demonstrates, an agency that is supposed to be scrupulously nonpartisan has become increasingly political--during a time of war--against America's elected commander in chief.

It Certainly Seems That The CIA Has Turned Into A Rogue Agency

Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2009

Verified Purchase

This book definitively points out how some CIA leaders and employees have worked against the best interests of the United States. Reading this will make your blood boil. The facts are presented in excruciating detail. A strong case is built as to how elements of the CIA pulled out all the stops to bring down President Bush. The names of many of the guilty are given. Hopefully in 2012 we will elect a new President who will really clean house from top to bottom. Particularly since we have an attorney general in office who seems to be moving quickly to purge and seek revenge against the better remaining people.

A good work.

Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2007

Rowen Scarborough's "Sabotage: America's enemies withing the C.I.A." is a good work.

It tells the grim facts of many leading people in a government agency (indeed the general atmosphere within that agency) being more concerned with domestic politics (specifically undermining the Bush Administration, and more generally attacking people who hold that the Iranian government, and other radical powers both Islamic and non Islamic, have hostile intentions towards the United States and deals can not be made with them) than with doing their jobs.

One can think that many of the policy judgements of the Bush Administration were wrong (for example I believe the judgement to go into Iraq in 2003 was a bad judgement), and one can even hold a bad opinion of President Bush himself - BUT executive branch employees, especially in the defence and intelligence area, are not there to undermine Presidents, they are there to carry out their policies (or resign).

As for the opinion of senior C.I.A. people (and people they are linked to) that deals can be made with the Iranian government, or that the Cuban government is not acting against the United States, or.......

Well if these were private political opinions it could be argued that they do not matter. However, Mr Scarborough makes clear that these opinions directly influence how key people do their jobs, and that these people use smear tactics (via the media) to undermine their opponents and to undermine the Administration.

Such activity is not acceptable.

However, the fact that President Bush has done so little about these matters over the last six years also shows what a weak manager (indeed weak man) President Bush must be - a conclusion Mr Scarborough might not be happy with, but which the very facts he brings to light lead me to.

A fair Question: Is the CIA a Traitorous Institution?

Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2007

Verified Purchase

Rowan Scarborough demolishes the stereotype of the CIA as a bastion of reactionary conservatism. It is instead, he convincingly argues, a politically correct leftist institution similar to the professoriate of our "elite" universities. Many of the CIA's employees are contemptuous toward the U.S. Constitution. They even maliciously and arbitrarily betray our elected leaders. The CIA is, to be brutally frank, turning out to be the weak link in our fight against Islamic nihilism. It is literally endangering our lives and those of our loved ones. Sabotage is not too strong a description of the CIA's overall behavior. Might a case even be made that many of its operatives and bureaucrats are traitors? The author may not wish to go that far. I personally have no hesitation in doing so. You can make up your own mind.

Can the CIA even be saved? Would someone like the management specialist Peter Drucker conclude the situation is beyond hope? Was the Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan right on target when suggesting that the CIA be disbanded some two decades ago? Has it outlived its original usefulness? Such questions will unavoidably cross your mind while reading "Sabotage: America's Enemies Within the CIA." You should obtain a copy immediately. It is truly that important of a book.

It's funny how the Democrats, who vilified the CIA in the '70s, are now the agency's biggest defenders. This book explains why.

Although I knew the basic story, the scope and extent of undermining took my breath away. This is a very readable and well written page turner I read in an afternoon. Highly recommend.

This book tells what I have thought all along. The CIA needs a good house cleaning. They need to get rid of career people and hire people who are wanting to protect America!!

demands of counter-insurgency self-glorifying the beast of Babylon

Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2016

I bought this book to discover how political thinking seeks stone age mission creep. I was willing to go to Vietnam for a year to have an exposure to a rich, advanced technological society trying to be better than other people in the parts of the world where most people aren't Americans, and what governments do has a kill factor. The appendix published in this book was prepared for deep thinkers in the military way of picturing what is required:

The Problem: Old Think vs. Demands for Coin

The real mind tricks game is global. Experts of faking friendships by sharing total cluelessness become obvious to writers familiar with the most common plot literary suicide rituals.
