A piece inside the Post looks at the Scorpions, who were originally created by the CIA to infiltrate Iraq before the war and be behind-the-scenes helpers. Things didn't go so well back then. The WP says most of the prewar missions were "delayed or canceled because of poor training or planning." After the invasion, the Scorpions found employment doing what one "intelligence official" called "dirty work." Oh, and in case you're worried that such talk might get Congress curious, the Republican chairman of the House intelligence committee said he knew all about the program and isn't interested in investigating: "We're not spending a lot of time going back and dissecting tactical programs."

i can jus hear that chairman now: "so what if they did something wrong, we're not looking backward, we're looking forward."
