I'm gald that you and Larry Johnson decided to blog here at BT. Your contributions really are invaluable. Thank you for all of your hard work!

If you want two people to keep Americans safe, Pat and Larry are a good place to start.  They've been doing it for years.  

Their outrage at this administration is a good indication at just how badly the Bushites have alienated the intelligence community.  

And think about the incalculable loss of people like Soj, who left our government and our country after trying to lend her brain to our security.  

No one can lend their services to this administration without feeling dirty.  Most people will ultimately feel betrayed.  But the positive thing is that more and more people are becoming dedicated to making changes.  All we need is some leadership, because we have more talent on our side than ever.

Catnip, you may know this but just in case -- Patrick is publishing his own novel of intelligence work during the Civil War, one chapter at a time, at his blog -- linked above.

I've printed out the first chapter + the foreward.  It's great reading.  My daughter Darcy loved it too, and wants me to print more.

Thanks. I'm so not into Civil War stuff, but I'm sure it will be a great book. :)
