That kind of honest, fact-based analysis is exactly what we should want from our intelligence agencies, regardless of whether it flatters the White House narrative.
If analysts believe their careers will be destroyed for offering inconvenient assessments, then we will only get the intelligence the White House wants.
General Kruse is a career military officer with decades of distinguished, non-partisan service to our nation, making this ouster all the more troubling.
If we let politics dictate what intelligence is acceptable, we are effectively flying blind.
