CIA officer asked to lie to justify Iraq invasion

A CIA employee has, for the first time in US history, filed a lawsuit against the CIA for asking him to falsify intelligene reports, and for then punishing him when he refused to do so.

The spy who wouldn't lie

While I find the notion of an ethical spy comical, perhaps men that have risked so much for the freedom we all enjoy really do take their commitment to the ideals of America to heart instead of for granted. Maybe they think about their own children and how they really do want them growing up in a land of liberty and justice for all. Maybe they can't look into those trusting little eyes and be anything less than a hero unto themselves.

I'll bet the Bush twins don't look to their daddy with trusting little eyes anymore; not if they're smart, anyway.
