My "sources" tell me that Stratfor's sources are their former comrade's in the Pentagon and the intelligence agencies. Given the attempt to unload the bombing fiasco on the CIA, this should make from some interesting leaks in the coming days. Don't you agree? The CIA has been roundly blaming the failures of war on the State Dept. and Richard Holbrooke. Meanwhile, Albright and Holbrooke hate each other and have been had their minions diss each other to the press. Personally, I hope a share of the blame can be parceled out to the B-2, which apparently flew the mission. Of course, the debacle will probably be used as justification for another $10 billion dollar appropriation to update those old global positioning satellite maps, right? As they say in the New Physics: the map isn't the territory.
