Michael Scheuer, who has written a book critical of the war on terror, is featured in a Washington Post article today by Dana Priest. Buried in the last paragraph is the following revelation:

Scheuer said he believes that the agency silenced him after CIA officials realized he was blaming the CIA, not the administration, for mishandling terrorism. "As long as the book was being used to bash the president, they gave me carte blanche to talk to the media," he said. "But this is a story about the failure of the bureaucracy to support policymakers."
