Make Sense of This If You Can

The CIA’s European Division has halted its operations in Western Europe in response to several spying scandals in Germany and the continent’s negative reaction to the revelations of spying by the National Security Agency on European leaders and citizens.

The stand-down order has been in effect for two months. It was designed to give CIA officers time to examine whether they were being careful enough and to evaluate whether spying on allies is worth running the risk of discovery, a US official who has been briefed on the situation told the Associated Press.

The spying stand-down comes at an inopportune time, AP reported, citing worries over Western extremists heading to Syria and Iraq to join with the Islamic State, as well as the standoff with Russia over influence on Ukraine and the independence movement in the eastern part of the country.

The “spying” objections, in fact, have not been about legitimate spying for national security reasons. Therefore, you have to wonder why the CIA stand down order. Leaving a hole for the next 9/11 to walk through to bolster support for Obama’s new war in Syria?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
