CIA's James Angleton Would Be Proud

The single most paranoid counterintelligence leader we have ever endured (who, thankfully, died 20 years ago) would be proud of Bush and Company today if he knew what just happened. James Angleton was a paranoic who made J. Edgar Hoover look like a prissy little Sunday school teacher! The irony is that this nation's worst espionage actions against us took place during Angleton's watch, as head of the CIA's counterintelligence division. If we don't learn from history, I guess we truly are doomed to repeat it...
