In The Dark, Ctd
ByA reader points to a recent NPR piece and writes:
Eli's
article only tells half the story. Our inability to discern what is going on in
Iran stems more from the fact intel is hard if not impossible to gather if you
have no diplomatic relations with a country, making it virtually impossible for
the CIA to actually do its job and collect intel on the ground.
This is why bluster and bellicosity is costly in terms of America's national
security, since the neocon tendency to discard diplomacy basically severs a
crucial appendage when diplomatic relations are cast asunder.
