27-Year CIA Veteran Ray McGovern On George Tenet's Surprise Resignation:

"I am more frightened now than at any time over the last three and a half years, that this administration will resort to extra-legal methods to do something to ensure that there are four more years for George Bush. And Ashcroft's statement last week, gratuitous statement,... his warning that there is bound to be a terrorist strike before the US elections. That ... can be reasonably viewed as the opening salvo... "

How shocking is that? A man with 27 years experience in the CIA, a man who served George Bush Snr, warning that the Bush administration might resort to faking a terrorist strike - presumably with all the death of innocents that would entail - in order to win 4 more years in power (and avoid War Crimes tribunals, perhaps). What has the USA come to?
