Vanni?
You may not have been watching this guy, Kean, for the 30 years I've seen him in politics, nor probably have you watched Lee Hamilton over such a span, and there is more to them than the quick label, the quick google, as there is more to anyone you may want to get the quick line on.
And oh crappers, I do know you know that, after observing a lot of your posts.
Perhaps we need to discuss the ironic and contradictory nature of conflict of interest, a concept not much analyzed in the popular zeitgeist. It's the kind of thing about life lived over a long long long time.
More to this.
And as far as errors or omissions, if you actually start reading it I find it amazingly rational, candid and well written.
It is very up front that it does not analyze several culprits, mainly the policy makers.
It's focus was mainly on the CIA and its structure, it's myriad rules preventing anyone from even wanting to stick their neck out to do the right thing, the turf warfare, the carreerists, the handling of whistle blowers, and all of the mechanics of a stifling bureaucracy with so many rules written by well wishers such as you or I that little of the consequences of such was ever analyzed thoroughly.
On top of all those problems, you had the policy makers make their wishes known to their employees. In every job I've ever had, I've always paid attention to what the Boss said outright and even when he implied it, I divined what to infer what was best for my survival and goodwill.
And so it is with every bureaucracy. The banality of ineptitude far outweighs nefarious conspiracy by a country mile, everytime.
