Highlights thread. First, background. Spoke with Glenn Carle. He worked at CIA for 23 years, from Reagan to George W. Bush.
<Thread> Interviewed a 23-year CIA veteran today. He had one of the most unflinching, critical assessments of PEOTUS/CIA story I've heard.
-
-
Carle retired in 2007 from CIA's Clandestine Service as deputy national intelligence officer for transnational threats.
-
He worked on four continents, and participated in the CIA/Bush admin's "enhanced interrogation" efforts in early 2000s. Later wrote a book
-
highly critical of CIA and White House "War on Terror". He did things he's not proud of. Believes CIA failed in its core mission then.
-
Carle says the current rift between PEOTUS and intelligence community is even worse. Historic crisis. Believes immediate action must be
-
taken, including declassifying the CIA Russia analysis, in a way that does not reveal methods or sources.
-
-
His greater concern is that the lack of trust between PEOTUS Trump and CIA destroys the intelligence community's very reason for being:pic.twitter.com/bkzPcledE2

Carle agrees with frmr CIA acting director Morell that this is 'political equivalent of 9/11." Carle goes further. http://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/michael-morell-russia-us-elections-232495 …pic.twitter.com/w75cT36zM2

Exactly how unusual is this moment? Carle says unprecedented. Others (Hayden) have said similar. Their point is that POTUS always has right
-
to argue with IC assessments. It happens often. Carle says he's never seen a rejection of fact going back to Eisenhower administration.pic.twitter.com/58YZ7pMMar

Rejection of analysis in Carle's view amounts to PEOTUS rejection of entire purpose of intel community.pic.twitter.com/5IuVoEQEM2

He takes it as an affront to their professionalism and service to American national security.
