Feinstein Critical of Middle East Intelligence, Cautions Obama on Intervention in Libya
On Tuesday, Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) criticized the CIA and the intelligence community for failing to predict the uprising in the Middle East. She stated that U.S. intelligence failed to warn about growing instability in Egypt, Yemen, and Bahrain and blamed their inadequacy on the lack of “the right ‘human assets’” gathering information on the ground. She also cautioned the Obama Administration against intervening in Libya without international support as it may lead to U.S. involvement in the Libya on a similar scale to our involvement in Afghanistan.
