Rick:
A slight counterpoint to your comments.
First, I gave up on Ludlum about 15 years ago. His style is cumbersome at best, turgid at its worst, and his later novels were threatening to turn into parodies of his earlier novels. That said, I fully agree that the movies bear little resemblance to the books; however, I think that's an improvement. :-)
Second, while watching TBU, I realized that I didn't really care that the CIA was painted as 'the bad guys'. I chuckled at the realization that the CIA no long has any supporters anywhere. For years (starting with the Church Committee) the Left demonized the CIA; now with (as you noted) the CIA's constant undermining of the White House over the past 6 years, the Right has no use for them, either. Heh.
Third, ignore the trolls. I'm a lifelong registered Democrat, and _I_ think they're idiots. ..bruce..
