      See also "Am I asking a question I don't really care about the answer to, since we have the most pathetically suggestible viewers in the world, as proven by our repeated use of our little 'Mark Sanford (D-SC)' trick?"

      Ms Banderas, are you saying that Fox wants to produce its programs by basically doing nothing but creating straw men?

        Yes. I noticed that Fox's description of the program is non-sensical. First of all, it would not be illegal to even "assasinate" members of Al-Qaeda - especially since we are at war with them. There would be no reason for Pinetta, Congress or the Administration to object to it based on the Fox "News" description. Considering it was a secret plan, so details are hard to find, I find the description to be subject to manipulation by people who want to downplay what it might really be about. Some have plausibly speculated that the plot may have allowed assasinations of US citizens or may have been allowed to take place on US soil. That would be a distinction that would explain the uproar from those with more access to the details of the plan.

            Horse shows or kennel clubs have beauty "pageants", too. It's called "Best of Show."

      I find it interesting how just because congress wants to find out the truth,fox somehow (mis)interprets it as the White House wants to "wipe out the CIA".


      All I can say is...COME ON,GIVE ME A FREAKIN' BREAK!!

      Honey, do yourself a favor-read a book. I can recommend one (no it not "My Pet Goat") it is "Legacy of Ashes" by Tim Weiner.It is one way you don't look like a complete idiot like the rest of Fox's & Friends, oops, sorry wrong show.

      julie banderas is nothing but eye candy for fox news and its unintelligent, low IQ viewers to spew propaganda. anything that the likes of banderas, gretchen carlson, martha maccallum, megyn kelly, monica crowley, etc, have to say, as ridiculous as it may sound, the viewers believe it because its coming from a pretty face. typical marketing gimmick by old man murdoch and his pathetic ilk.

      look at me trying to state the obvious about that network... its clear as day how they operate. and its good to know that some of us in the world have fox news figured out. the ones watching and buying their BS obviously have at least a couple of screws loose up there.

        Megyn Kelly has a JD and Crowley has a Ph.D.

        What degrees do you have and from where?

          Just because you have a higher advanced degree, doesn't make you automatically smart. Case in point, Kelly and Crowley. Both have proved their stupidity time and again. Sure, they might be good at school and have these degrees, and they are smart on some levels, but as far as their current job, they stink at it, and don't use very smart rhetorical devices, and or facts to back their arguments.

          And what is Crowley's PhD in?

      How come these folks didn't seem to have an issue when George W. Bush told the entire nation that he received bad intelligence from the CIA in the lead up to Iraq?

      Anyway, I believe that a vast majority of people working for and in the CIA are patriotic Americans who want to do their duty for their country, and to protect it as best as they can within the confines of the laws of the United States. Are there some folks working there that we could probably do without? Most likely.
