Militarization of the CIA
The "real" Patraeus scandal is the increased militarization of the CIA. Very good article. Hat tip, Chuck.
It's as if the CIA started acting how they were depicted in the movies. Which, by the way, would be completely unsurprising given the times we live. After all, the imagination behind 9/11 was straight out of a Bruckheimer film.

A commend from my brother:
Yes, the CIA has transitioned from a spy agency to a paramilitary outfit. Put another way, it's a sort of global death squad operated remotely from office buildings in Northern Virginia. No way that can backfire.
