Pentagon Planning To Cut Its Support For Most CIA Counter-Terrorism Missions On January 5

ABC News: Pentagon plans to cut most of its support to CIA's counterterrorism missions 

The majority of the U.S. military's support could end on Jan. 5. 

In a surprising move, the Pentagon has told the Central Intelligence Agency that it plans to end the majority of the military support it provides to the agency's counterterrorism missions by Jan. 5, according to a former senior administration intelligence official.

It is unclear how the decision would impact the spy agency's worldwide counterterrorism missions that often rely on the U.S. military for logistical support and personnel. 

Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller sent a letter to CIA Director Gina Haspel outlining the decision, according to the former official, who characterized the action as both surprising and unprecedented. 


WNU Editor: If true, this looks like a rush decision.

On one hand there have been a lot of fake stories concerning Trump.

On the other hand why support a corrupt agency that gets its agents rolled up by opponents and is more adept at domestic spying than spying on American enemies?

You can say Brennan is bad and move on. But when Gina Haspel digs in her heels on declassifying the Russia Hoax documents after being directly ordered to do so, maybe the corruption is much, much bigger than that turd Brennan?!

The CIA might be so bad at running agents overseas that the DoD has to protect it people and assets by cutting ties with Les Incompétents.

Maybe there is some truth to story about a fight between CIA Special Branch and the US Army's Team Delta in Stuttgart on election night.

I forgot about it. Good Catch.

Maybe Brennan and a few other people need to be brought up on charges of treason.

The CIA should be abolished and the land it occupies in Langley salted heavily to render it useless forevermore,
