I never imagined I'd see the day when Republicans are muttering about a CIA dirty tricks campaign to undermine the administration and Democrats are talking about the agency's operatives' selfless devotion to the country. A friend of mine who comes from what is roughly the Sandinista wing of American politics sees no malevolence in anything done by anyone in the CIA in this whole affair while those (like me) who reside on the 'God and country' end of the political spectrum believe something about the CIA's part in this just stinks.
I keep hoping to read that Oliver Stone is going to make a movie about the CIA plot to undermine the elected government in 2003. At least that would offer some reassurance that the whole world hasn't been turned upside down.
