The murderer who shot the six police officers, killing three of them, in Baton Rouge is an ex-Marine sergeant. Another 30 I.Q., mentally-deranged animal trained to kill by the U.S. military. The law of averages suggests we should expect many more to do the same in the future.

The most important lesson from all of this is that the CIA is ready and willing to censor and doctor its own reports in order to make them suit the foreign policy agenda of the given presidential administration. What we learn from the reports is that the CIA tells its government clients what they want to hear about given geopolitical issues or foreign leaders, and not what it should do as the impartial, non-partisan intelligence agency: tell it the way it is and stick to the facts.
