Oh yeah, The Guardian... of socialist/liberal ideas. I'd trust the US branch of al-Jazeera = MSNBC more than the Guardian.

Tell you what though - I read websites and publications that don't agree with my mindset as closely as those that I agree with. Problem with the 24hr news cycle and single viewpoint choices is that people are never exposed to the other point of view. Know your enemies and that type of thing...

Fun article. Do you really think the CIA would be as stupid as alleged in the article?

Sounds nice though - lots of neat resorts and interesting flying!

I read and watch many newscasts I don’t agree with. I speak a couple other languages and frequently watch the news in those languages as well just to see other perspectives (the internet is a beautiful thing – thank you Al Gore! )

So basically I’m agreeing with you; I just think that The Guardian is about as reliable as The Enquirer is here...

...and to answer your question, yes I do believe the CIA could be that stupid, I just don't believe it in this particular case...

Excellent! What languages and what foreign news sources are you into?

Well, don’t want to get too personal on a forum but besides the British sources (FT, BBC, ITN, etc), I enjoy Deutsche Welle, Novosti, Vesti, Aftonbladet, Verdens Gang, and few others…

Apply. Wait. If selected, you will know. If not, you will hear nothing. Good luck.

And yes, many subcontractors support the global ops. And there are even subcontractors of those contractors. Paper trail...
