Ex spy: Bush White House pressed CIA to dig up dirt on Iraq war critic
By Zachary Roth
Did the Bush White House press U.S. intelligence agencies to gather damaging personal information on a prominent critic of the Iraq war? That's what one former CIA official alleges, in an interview with the New York Times.
Glenn Carle, who was a top counterterrorism official during the Bush administration, charged that in 2005, the White House asked both the CIA and another intelligence agency, the National Intelligence Council (NIC), to dig up dirt on Juan Cole (pictured), a Middle East expert and University of Michigan professor. Cole writes a well-known blog, which has been sharply critical of the Iraq war.

I am going to guess Fox never reports this, and Obama WH will not do anything about this if found true.
Sad...and many republicans will not care at all...Its only useing the CIA for Politics and breaking the law made to protect the US from being a police state.
