Just read an interesting article about the resignation of Bush's counterterrorism adviser, who has subsequently gone to work for one of his principle Democratic opponents. (see: http://globalsecurity.com/ article titled friendly fire) While that in itself is interesting, a particular portion of the interview it contains is of particular attention grabbing content:
quote: Part of that stemmed from his frustration with the culture of the White House. He was loath to discuss it. His wife, Bonnie, a school administrator, was not: "It's a very closed, small, controlled group. This is an administration that determines what it thinks and then sets about to prove it. There's almost a religious kind of certainty. There's no curiosity about opposing points of view. It's very scary. There's kind of a ghost agenda."
Now, I recognize that this quote is from Bonnie Beers, not Rand Beers himself. The culture of security and classified information is such that he is not likely to say such things publicly. I would not be surprised at his sharing such an evaluation with his wife.
My question is simply this: How accurate do you see this appraisal of a "ghost agenda" as being?
He's (Obama) the President of Hate. He has magically allowed the blue monkeys to embrace hatred, to feel proud of it, to murder, to conquer. They never would have been able to take this step without him.

I couldn't really comment on the whether there is a 'ghost agenda'. But I do agree that this guy is likely to have shared things with his wife so her comment will have 'som,e' validity at least, although I doubt he shared 'everything'. Just out of curiousity what is Bonnie Beers employment history? Is she like her husband in that they both work in the same area of the intelligence community? If the answer is 'yes' then I would say her comment is probably more accurate, if not then not.

it's early I should have read it more clearly. In that case I think the comment is likely to be 'some' part turth but more part her personal political bias.
