Failure to Communicate<\/p>\n
Author’s note: I was bemused yesterday when I heard the former DHS Director remark in an aside that the FBI Director (and those of National Intelligence, the CIA and the NSA) didn’t share with him or his intelligence folks for months during the summer of 2016 the facts behind the Russian hacking of the nation’s voting machinery infrastructure and the DNC.<\/p>\n

\nWhen this former Obama administration DHS chief said there were “glitches in communication” between the FBI and DHS, I stifled a wry smile at yet another US intelligence community failure to share. It was reminiscent of the FBI’s failure to share key pre 9-11 information regarding 9-11 plotters aircraft simulator training with the rest of the IC. This then cued my inner Strother Martin’s Cool Hand Luke character Captain.<\/p>\n

What we’ve got here is failure to communicate
\nSome departments like DHS they just couldn’t reach
\nSo, we get what we heard here yesterday
\nWhich is the way FBI wanted it
\nWell, it still doesn’t get it
\nSixteen years after 9-11
\nI don’t like it any more than DHS
\nBut everyone else couldn’t care less<\/p>\n
Look, our voting machinery was under attack
\nBut for months DHS was not told jack
\nWere Comey’s hands tied
\nOr was he just playing both sides<\/p>\n
And the cable news war drones on with undiminished snide
\nFor the love of country, hooray for our side
\nNews cycle swept last week’s horror aside
\nBut bloody hands, time won’t hide
\nThey’ll be revealed after a surprise mass homicide
\nAnd history says time is not on our side<\/p>\n
We’ll likely wear black armbands
\nWhen they attack our country, man
\nThen everybody’ll be fightin’
\nFor our promised land<\/p>\n
Meanwhile while we wait, cable news will be selling soldier stories like produce in a human grocery store. These tales ain’t that fresh, just recycled tropes of past glories.<\/p>\n
