Sabotage

Conservative author Rowan Scarborough never conclusively proves his point that the CIA is a left-wing organization that has purposely been sabotaging the Bush administration since 9/11. He sees the Valerie Plame incident as a case in point. Tom Weiner's reading is as fluent as Scarborough's words are groundless. Obviously, the CIA, like any government agency, is not perfect, but in Scarborough's opinion their transgressions--many of which occurred during the era when the author was a fervent apologist for the White House--have gone far beyond incompetence, almost to the level of treason. Through his confident enunciation, Weiner makes the text sound like more of a certainty than the biased statement it really is. J.S.H. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
