The Washington Post's David Ignatius, a Leading Apologist

 The Washington Post’s senior national security columnist, David Ignatius, is the mainstream media’s leading apologist for the Central intelligence Agency, American foreign policy, and Israel.  Last week, Ignatius described the politicization of U.S. intelligence  by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.  In the same column, however, he praised  former acting CIA director John McLaughlin, who was responsible for the most costly intelligence failure in CIA’s history—the phony intelligence on Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction used to justify the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003. McLaughlin’s role in this debacle is public knowledge, but Igatius chooses to ignore or forget.
