CIA veterans have warned the Bush administration not to go to war against Iraq, saying that doing so would further widen the divide between the Western and Islamic worlds and increase the incidence of terrorism.

I’d feel better if the CIA knew malaria is spread by mosquitos, not flies. [I can hear their unidentified source, a mosquito, telling a CIA field officer, "Flies, I tell you. It is the flies spreading the malaria."]

And, “…swamped with swamps…”? Who’s their editor?
