William Arkin’s Cynicism Filter Filters Out Everything

Early Warning by William M. Arkin - washingtonpost.com

Do we really believe that the U.S. military thinks that Russia had a spy in the middle of American war planning for Iraq or that Russia broke some American code and listened in on U.S. war preparations in 2003?

And do we really think that Secretary of State and former national security advisor Condoleezza Rice first heard of this on Friday, as she made believe she did yesterday in television interviews?

The answer to both questions is no.

Welcome to the self-perpetuating world of spy vs. spy.

The nutshell summary of William H. Arkin’s article about the Russia spying disclosures is that Arkin’s mental filters are so finely tuned that they screen out all new information.
