Former US National Security Advisor Brent Scowcroft has confirmed that the US government has spies on the ground in Iran.Hey, Douchebag! The proper answer is "I can neither confirm nor deny that the US Government has spies on the ground in Iran." A simple "I cannot talk about that" or "that's classified" also works.

Dear Miss Fit:
ReplyDeleteWhile you are, of course, correct I would propose that we cut Gen. Scowcroft a bit of slack.
First, there is little to be gained by implausible denial of that which everyone knows to be true.
Further, he has been one of the guys with the white hats on MANY issues (including his present support of Pres. Obama's handling of the Iran situation.
He's a good man, in my book.
