Quote of the Day

The late William Odom, former director of the National Security Agency, in a recently released interview given in 2003, long after he left office:
The CIA currently doesn't work for anyone. It thinks it works for the president, but it doesn't and it's out of control.
AOL News is the source of this quote. It isn't clear whether he was referring to 1988 when he last was NSA Director or 2003 when he was interviewed, I presume the latter. Admiral Odom was generous with his criticism.
