| Ckmlb1 said: Like the article says Morrell objected. It doesn't say why he did that. I hadn't read the part about Patraeus before you posted the link so I only knew about Morrell objecting as deputy director and that was the CIA objection I was talking about before. But there's no information on why he objected so saying he was just following the State Department would be jumping to conclusions. |
Admittedly, I am making an assumption that if he was deferring to State on the part about the warnings then he was also conceding any mention of al-Qaeda. It seems a reasonable assumption, though, when State had the only concerns we've seen expressed about mentioning al-Qaeda. Where did you see that the CIA was unsure about terrorist involvement? It doesn't sound like that was at all the case.
