CIA critic says agency misleads on intelligence
Former CIA officer Ralph McGehee, with 25 years in the service, argues the CIA largely provides information to fit policymakers' views, undermining accurate reporting. He cites Vietnam and Iran as examples and details a Thailand program he led that was shut down for not fitting agenda. He warns the agency risks “state of suspended animation.”

Readers debate Confederate history and Monocacy markers
A reader questions if a Civil War tombstone for Capt. F Fo Smith lies near the Monocacy Battlefield and details Virginia Cavalry units, local figures from Weston and Clarksburg, and mentions Brigadier General Jeter McCausland, Stonewall Jackson’s ties, and a 1861 battle at Rich Mountain. The letter expresses frustration with social security checks mailed to inmates and reflects local Civil War memory.
