Cooking Up a Storm<\/a> An Interview with Former CIA Official Ray McGovern, By Steven Robert Allen,
\nalibi . november 27 – december 3, 2003<\/p>\n

Former CIA analyst Ray McGovern–co-founder of the group Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS), which seeks to heighten public awareness about the administration’s more blatant intelligence abuses<\/b>–has been as vocal as anyone.<\/p>\n

Right-wing Radicals <\/p>\n

McGovern currently believes that the country is in the hands of right-wing radicals whose judgment has become clouded by their extremist geopolitical ideologies<\/b>. According to McGovern, this has created a very dangerous situation for our nation.<\/p>\n

”These guys were known in the ’80s, when I briefed the President’s father every morning, as The Crazies<\/b>.’ If you referred to ‘The Crazies,’ everyone knew who you meant. So for us to watch these guys come back into power just a couple years ago is frightening. And this time, they’re not down in the bowels of the Pentagon, they’re running the country!<\/b> Our worst fears were well-founded.” …<\/p>\n

”I’ve been in this town watching things really, really closely for decades and never have I seen our country at such a perilous stage<\/b>. And never have I been so frustrated by the American people’s lack of knowledge that this is the case, that their current government is a very dangerous one.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
