Is the CIA on our side?

I found a piece off the blog Red State written by Jose Kimbrell. The authors intended audience is aimed at conservatives. Kimbrell has formal education as he studied economics at North Greenville University in South Carolina, which makes him more credible. He currently hosts his own radio program in South Carolina as called, “Common Cents.” He seems to have validity amongst the political community at least for conservatives. As for his argument, it is blatantly stated in the title, “Conservatives Should not Consider the CIA the Enemy of the American People.” He argues that due to the presidential election and people like Sean Hannity a Fox News reporter, people are now starting to hold controversial figures like Julian Asssange as heroes. He argues that back when September 11 happened the NSA, CIA, and FBI all came together to defend us from Islamic terrorism and we should respect them.  That we shouldn’t be giving the respect to these made up heroe’s who are just bringing about a cyber war. He goes on to talk about the recent release on Wikileaks over the CIA and their ability to tap into our devices. He fully supports this decision. He also makes a point that by Wikileaks releasing this information that they have tipped off the terrorist and given them vital information. I agree that the CIA was one of the best lines of defense after 911, and it was also a new perspective to think about Wikileaks possibly overexposing to terrorist but I still don’t think that he makes a solid case. His article has no references and was purely opinionated. In order to make a solid case he should have brought in statistics of election fluctuations or something that could help us visualize these allegations he is making. I don’t agree with what he is saying because of this. Also because I believe that we should have the access to this information especially if we are getting spied on. Overall this was a good one-sided blog commentary that allowed me to see another perspective but did very little at swaying my opinion.
