CIA's Brennan complacent about independent intelligence gathering in Egypt & Saudi Arabia

New Law Shifts Fight on Claims for 9/11 Victims and Saudis Warn of Risks is a headline that reflects CIA Director Brennan's erroneous view that Saudi Arabia is a key intelligence source for our fight against terrorism rather than that their extreme Wahabbi vision of Islam is the source of terrorism. Another problem is that Authoritarian regimes are opaque to the CIA but with the reassurance it's getting the really good stuff from official sources. The Agency ought to remember its experience with the Shah of Iran's authoritarian regime where it was caught flat footed when he had to flee. Brennan appears to be complacent about the need for independent intelligence gathering in Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
