CIA May Taint Iraqi Elections

The Bush administration has been entertaining the idea of having the CIA support the election of Iraqi candidates. This is, of course, the best way to encourage an Iraqi democracy: take an agency synonymous with coups and assassinations, and put them in charge of getting your guy elected. For examples of how successful the CIA is at this kind of work, see Iran, Vietnam, Cambodia, Chile.

In any other administration, this would be the scandal. For the Bush administration, this is small potatoes.
