The RNC has compiled some juicy stuff on John Kerry’s repeated attempts to weaken our intelligence agencies. Go read the whole thing. Here are some excerpts:

1997: Kerry Questioned Growth Of Intelligence Community After Cold War. “Now that that [Cold War] struggle is over, why is it that our vast intelligence apparatus continues to grow even as Government resources for new and essential priorities fall far short of what is necessary? …” (Senator John Kerry Agreeing That Critic’s Concerns Be Addressed, Congressional Record, 5/1/97, p. S3891)

1970: Even As Early As His Unsuccessful 1970 Congressional Bid, Kerry Declared Desire To “Almost Eliminate” CIA. “[Kerry] was quoted in The Harvard Crimson as saying he would like to ‘almost eliminate CIA activity’ …” (Michael Kranish, “With Antiwar Role, High Visibility,” The Boston Globe, 6/17/03)
