Fred Fleitz: CIA's 'woke' video -- here's how we get liberal leaning agency back on track
Fox News
The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has issued a new recruitment video that has caused a great deal of controversy.
Liberal bias in the CIA goes back many years. During the Cold War, conservatives complained CIA analysts were slanting their analysis of the Vietnam War, playing down the threat from the Soviet Union, and arguing there was a moral equivalency between American and Soviet foreign policies. When Robert Gates was first nominated to be CIA Director in 1987, a group of liberal CIA analysts testified against him. (Gates withdrew this nomination but was nominated again and confirmed as CIA Director in 1991). In the 90s, the CIA politicized its analysis to support President Clinton’s disastrous "Assertive Multilateralism" national security strategy that sent lightly armed UN peacekeepers to Haiti, Bosnia and Somalia with tragic results.More Related News
