Une tribune de Robert Novak sur la CIA, \u00e0 partir de sources parlementaires r\u00e9publicaines, confirme que l’agence de renseignement a proclam\u00e9 unilat\u00e9ralement son ind\u00e9pendance. La publication de la NIE 2007 montrait effectivement cette tendance et le commentaire de Novak du 24 d\u00e9cembre<\/a> dans le Washington Post<\/em> confirme le propos en l’\u00e9largissant \u00e0 d’autres affaires. Dans la pol\u00e9mique sur la destruction de bandes vid\u00e9o d’enregistrement d’interrogatoires de prisonniers, le cas est similaire; comme il l’est \u00e9galement \u00e0 propos de l’attaque isra\u00e9lienne contre un objectif syrien en septembre. Dans tous ces cas, la CIA agit ind\u00e9pendamment, dit ce qu’elle veut \u00e0 qui elle veut. Selon l’expression employ\u00e9e, la CIA is flying solo<\/em>\u00bb.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abOutrage over the CIA’s destruction of interrogation tapes is but one element of the distress Republican intelligence watchdogs in Congress feel about the agency. It is acting as though it is autonomous, not accountable to anyone, Rep. Peter Hoekstra, ranking Republican on the House intelligence committee, told me. That is his mildest language about the CIA. In carefully selected adjectives, Hoekstra calls it incompetent, arrogant and political.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbChairman Silvestre Reyes and other Democrats on the intelligence committee join Hoekstra in demanding investigation into the tape destruction in the face of the administration’s resistance, but the Republicans stand alone in protesting the CIA’s defiant undermining of President Bush. In its clean bill of health for Iran on nuclear weapons development, the agency acted as an independent policymaker rather than an adviser. It has withheld from nearly all members of Congress information on the Israeli bombing of Syria in September. The U.S. intelligence community is deciding on its own what information the public shall learn.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t()<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbRepublicans also complain that the National Intelligence Estimate concluding that Iran has shut down its nuclear weapons program was a case of the CIA flying solo, not part of the administration team. Donald M. Kerr, principal deputy director of national intelligence, said on Dec. 3 that the intelligence community took responsibility for what portions of the NIE Key Judgments were to be declassified. In a Dec. 10 column for the Wall Street Journal, Hoekstra and Democratic Rep. Jane Harman, a senior member of the intelligence committee, wrote that the new NIE does not explain why the 2005 NIE came to the opposite conclusion or what factors could drive Iran to restart’ its nuclear-weapons program. (Six days later on Fox News Sunday, Harman called the NIE the best work product they’ve produced\u00a0\u00bb)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbIn a June 21 address to the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations, Hayden unveiled the CIA’s social contract with the American people. Hoekstra’s explanation: The CIA is rejecting accountability to the administration or Congress, saying it can go straight to the people.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tRobert Novak est tr\u00e8s bien inform\u00e9, essentiellement dans les milieux r\u00e9publicains dont il est proche. On constate sans surprise que cette attitude de la CIA est essentiellement d\u00e9nonc\u00e9e par les r\u00e9publicains, nullement par les d\u00e9mocrates qui ont au contraire appr\u00e9ci\u00e9 et soutenu<\/a> l’affaire de la NIE 2007 et qui voient dans la CIA un alli\u00e9 de poids pour contrer l’aventurisme de Bush sans avoir eux-m\u00eames \u00e0 se mouiller. Il s’agit d’une situation byzantine, o\u00f9 les pouvoirs s’affrontent selon leurs int\u00e9r\u00eats, sans aucune r\u00e9f\u00e9rence de service public. C’est une atmosph\u00e8re un peu semblable \u00e0 celle qui existait dans les ann\u00e9es-Watergate, de 1973 \u00e0 1975, mais avec la diff\u00e9rence essentielle que l’existence de ce qui \u00e9tait per\u00e7u comme la menace sovi\u00e9tique \u00e9tait capable de ressouder certaines solidarit\u00e9s et emp\u00eachait des oppositions et des d\u00e9fections s\u00e9rieuses dans les r\u00e9seaux ext\u00e9rieurs d’alliance US. D’autre part, l’ex\u00e9cutif, m\u00eame du temps du Watergate, ne s’\u00e9tait pas aussi compl\u00e8tement discr\u00e9dit\u00e9 qu’il l’est aujourd’hui.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tDans ce cas, la dissidence actuelle de la CIA repr\u00e9sente un facteur particuli\u00e8rement important de la situation washingtonienne. Elle l’est d’autant plus qu’elle se combine \u00e0 une dissidence de facto<\/em> de pans importants de l’appareil militaire. Elle donne dans tous les cas une image saisissante de la situation du pouvoir washingtonien.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
