Dear Mr. President,
After seeing your speech at CIA headquarters yesterday my
mind is swirling with thoughts and ideas.
The first is that when one stands in front of a memorial wall (of any
kind) it is discourteous to praise and boast of oneself. I believe the British call this bad
form.
While I understand that you have a "running war with
the media" (your words verbatim from the speech) it is not the media that
tweeted:
Dec 9 "...these are the same people that
said Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass
destruction."
Jan 11 "the CIA "should never have
allowed this fake news to 'leak'"
Jan 11 in response to CIA agents doing their job,
"...are we living in Nazi Germany?"
Those are your words sir.
Unfortunate and misguided words.
Sent out into the Twitter-sphere for all the world to hear. You should probably run your tweets by the
Leadership Team (that Jared Kushner seems to have a good head on his shoulders)
before you hit send because the CIA is going to be your eyes and ears around
the globe for the next 4 years. And even
though you've been really busy and hyper focused on the election, I'm sure it
didn't escape your notice that the world is a very dangerous place right now.
In short, you need these people sir. Please treat them with the respect and
dignity they deserve. And best of luck
to Mike Pompeo, newly sworn in Director of the CIA!! He'll need it.
(Just kidding Mike...you'll be fine)
