Legend has it that “ugg” is short for “ugly” – so, “ugg boots” apparently meant “ugly boots.” For decades, “ugg” was generic term used for sheepskin boots made in Australia.The word was so commonplace that it was found in Australian dictionaries, and ugg boots were also known as “ug” or “ugh” boots. But in the United States, when people refer to “UGG boots,” they’re usually talking about the boots made by Deckers Outdoor Corporation, the parent company of “UGG Australia.”So if you’re traveling the world and talking about footwear, it’s good to know that when the term “ugg boot” is used, it could be referring to an Australian-made sheepskin boot, or a popular brand name boot.

This is depressing, but enlightening. I find it difficult to believe the CIA hasn’t brought in a few Ed. Psych researchers to explain the serious implications of failing to ‘work in groups’ these days.

In an era when some companies put a premium on spending dollars to ‘cross train’ employees so that each has a larger perspective of the organization’s needs and constraints, this post is a stunner.

Sounds like some of my regional business leaders are way ahead of the federal government with respect to the emphasis they place on obtaining the best quality information they can gather; much of it from employees who are fluent in at least two languages.

Any interested observer can assume that people in the upper echelons of the BushCheney administration are almost incapable of cognitively processing information that conflicts with their own assumptions.

Nevertheless, it’s sad — and alarming — to read that entire government agencies operate in such narrow, restricted processes. It sounds soul-killing.

There are limits to the amount of information that people can process; that’s clearly a problem for many in the current administration, whose ‘cognitive styles’ appear to be strikingly rigid. Their cognitive limitations appear too limited to deal with the amount of complexity they’re expected to process each day.

I remember being irritated in 2000 when I heard people say that ‘it didn’t matter’ who won the presidential election. I don’t think that GW Bush is as stupid as many claim; nevertheless, as someone above noted, we need more IQ points in leadership. And in addition to IQ points, we need leaders who exhibit curiosity and a kind of intellectual fluidity that can absorb new information and adapt.

There’s no way the organization that you describe is going to hang on to ‘the best and the brightest’. Particularly if they’re in their 20s or 30s.

The low standard applied to dissent opinions is what allowed the facts to be fixed around the policy.

Downing Minutes underscore the heart of the IC failures leading to 9-11.

Ditto the Energy Task Force.

If they have nothing to be scared of, why hide the INTEL past its normal procedural clearance status?

Bushco. shaped the facts around the policy, that is why we had no urgency in his record vacation month before 9-11.

Perhaps additional views were asked for by Clinton, after things like WACO and Ok City, paired with WTC One it became evident that new ways of getting INTEL reviews were needed. The problem was that expediency diminished results and effectiveness. Paired alongside the new boss it was like giving the car keys to a drunk.

The incompetency of Bushco. still remains the heart of the matter. We didn’t want the ‘Smurking’ gun to become a mushed-room cloud.

Only one question to answer:

wtf brain farted?

Condi knows she who smelt it delt it. At least that’s what Putin’s translator told her, in English, so she could understand it, without the info perhaps going over her head.

So tell me, did Clinton play classical music in office and ignore his duty to fumble dire INTEL warnings?

Did Condi fumble and stumble before enacting the original requests Clinton’s people(Clarke) had drafted to address the new millennium?

Larry,
This has the feel of a discussion that is struggling to be born amongst some seriously concerned laypersons and a few IC professionals. It is long overdue, and should not be corrupted by revisionism in any of its ugly incarnations, on either side of the divide.
First, truth and wisdom have no age. The suggestion that the analytical departments of the IC were first compromised by the Clinton administration is a historical farce, and does not even deserve a comment. Fashioning the work product of the IC according to the whims and goals of political appointees has been a carefully managed, admittedly secret, function of IC administration from its inception. The change in procedure occurred when the skills and power of the IC’s mission was turned on the very people they were sworn to protect, specifically, the United States public. That these IC political administrators not only failed to defend Mrs. Wilson and her husband, but enlisted their underlings to further damage them both on a personal level, harkens back much further than Goss, Tenet, Deustch, or Woolsey. Granted, these four recent charlatans were ill chosen at best, but they pale in the face of Necroponte as DNI, and we all know it. It is time for all of us that know and understand the the “secret” truths that have led our country to this precipice, to be open and honest with our people, the ones we all swore an oath to protect from all enemies, “foreign or domestic!” If our personal loyalties are in conflict with this oath, than we should at least cease to be a part of the problems that such a corrupt conflict create and/or aggravate.

I commend this article by Robert Parry to you and your readers. We would all do well to model our behavior after this journalist, and trust our fellow citizens with the unvarnished and uncompromised truth.

How much say does the preznit have over CIA operations decisions? If the CIA director decides the PDB should be written by one analyst without review?

Then I’m afraid the conclusion still stands, and either Clinton or Tenet must have decided this was what they wanted. If you want accurate results, you institute a vetting process. If you want the results you want, well, you might as well just sit in the office and make it all up.
