Jeremy Scahill: CIA Disinformation?

Posted by majestic on February 6, 2010

Douglas Valentine sent this message to his email list today:

Jeremy Scahill at the Nation as posted at AntiWar.com says “the CIA was the darkest of the dark, now it is JSOC.” He says, “The CIA used to have the ultimate freedom–now that freedom is in JSOC’s hands.” And he says, “JSOC/Special Mission Units [have] more freedom to expand or absorb traditionally CIA missions,” because they don’t report to Congress.

Is Scahill telling the truth? Or is this CIA disinformation?

Thoughts, anyone?
