tinfoil
First, the non-tinfoil: the CIA is influencing upcoming elections in Iraq. So I guess the word "elections" should be put in scare quotes.
I'll also just save the right-wing media the time: Jimmy Carter is a failed president who should look out for attacking rabbits rather than busying himself with elections in Iraq or Florida. We're taking the fight against terrorism to the source. America has to have the stomach for the fight against "Islamofascism".
Fuck.
Then there's always the ironic prospect of Saddam being on the ballot.
Begin extreme tinfoil:
So if the CIA is willing to meddle in an Iraqi election, why not here?
All the hallmarks are there: the incompetence at keeping skulduggery under the radar, the talking points disseminated through the Pravda media, the whispering campaigns, the shenanigans with electronic vote machines...
...but the simplest explanation is: why go to the trouble of getting the CIA involved when the clearly corrupt Supreme Court will do just fine?
