Charles Pierce who, when not busy writing letters to Eric Alterman, working his day job for Boston Globe Sunday Magazine, or appearing on Adam Felber's radio show Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me, is a top national security analyst for the CIA. He has this to report regarding the Iraq reaction to news that Republican Congressman Tom Tancredo's decision to renege on his term limit pledge because his nation needs him in this time of ongoing threats:


"Tom Tancredo is....STAYING IN CONGRESS!!! WE GIVE! WE GIVE!"
-- Text of a CIA intercept from Presidential Palace, Baghdad. 27 September 2002. 0950A


Well, I think it was that Charles Pierce anyway.
