@Mame,

I agree.
These people, the entire cast of characters, all seem very untrustworthy and motivated mainly by self-interest, and what they can get from each other--and that's
not true of most people. It's also why they've managed to ensnare each other in such an unsavory web of alliances--judgment, and consideration of consequences, seems to have taken a backseat with all of them.
The exposure of this crap, particularly on the part of a CIA director, and another 4 star General, was probably for the good. These men were seriously compromising their other obligations, and it's better that has been revealed.
