The Ninth Amendment to the Constitution is the strongest statement therein that powers not expressly granted the State are retained as rights of the People. The State has misconstrued, misrepresented, ignored, and denied the People's rights by elimination of protections reserved alone to them, not recognized by the Supreme Court, the Legislative, and worst the Executive Branch in the illegitimate exercise of draconian powers which unlawfully disparage the inalienable rights of the People.
That CIA sure has spent the years giving the term "war is peace" a run for its money. Meanwhile the "Center for Counter-Terrorism no doubt must have had a run for its money as to where to begin giving out its pallets of $100 bills (Dick "Pigheart" Cheney's favorite method of payment, especially when he was serving as, say Vice-President of the United States, a wonderful opportunity for personal growth). Well, whoever is out there keeping us safe sure is doing a bang-up job.
It did slightly concern the editorial staff and some of the more vulnerable Ninth Amendment global bureaus (that would be just about all of them now, thus the extra "hazard-duty" recognition for all but those actually in the company of a bona fide member of the Bush family or one of its bin Laden business colleagues.) that the Times we could not so help but notice rather hastily pulled the focus on the "much worse than first expected" loss of Libya intelligence line of reporting. Quickly it has been becoming rather more of a challenge to find. A quick call in New York on the redline "batphone" from Washington, D.C. no doubt nipped that one in the bud.
After all why scream in their faces our now nearly daily recital ("losses much worse than first expected" as in the, say, recent Taliban stroll into the most fortified southern Afghanistan base and ensuing destruction of more present-day dollar value of jet fighters sitting parked their neatly no doubt on the ground, where they sadly are not very effective and at least eighteen of them even less so after the Taliban has blown them up. In other words dear readers, what pray tell do you suppose are the chances that in Benghazi and most likely the rest of Libya as well we are as they say in the C.I.A. we are flying blind. Except of course for the legions of pilots warehoused in northern Virginia flying non-existent drones all over the globe. Excuse us if you would that would now be we understand "unmanned aerial vehicles". How creative. Just waiting for murderer Obama to give them the "go"
So now the C.I.A. special talent for assassinations gone awry is not quite so personal, taking quite a few more innocents along on their journey to death. Any votes for re-doing the gift shop and renovating the George Herbert Walker Bush Center for National Intelligence to enlarge the nearby "petting zoo" so clearly shown in the Google aerial photographs. So much the nicer way to spend the day. Of just back in the gated community with the babysitter watching some light television in what no doubt was and is still the far better "safe house", at least for now. Should readers find themselves right there were the action is we understand that the State Department offers some of the CHEAPEST AIRFARES, LOWCOST SEATS,BEST PLANE SERVICE AROUND,GET THOSE SEATS NOW IN TIME FOR THE HOLIDAYS.
The following comments to the New York Times when the "far greater loss" of Benghazi and Libyan intelligence than first feared was still giving the militants their pat on the back were published verbatim in the Times digital edition within the past couple days. Hit the time/date link on either comment and that should jump loyal readers right to the original Times article where the truth does exist.
