CIA/POLITICS/MIKE POMPEO: “Mike Pompeo, director of the Central Intelligence Agency, slammed WikiLeaks and its founder Julian Assange in a full-throated public denunciation Thursday before an audience for foreign policy specialists in Washington, D.C.
‘WikiLeaks walks like a hostile intelligence service and talks like a hostile intelligence service,’ he said in prepared remarks at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
‘Assange is a narcissist who has created nothing of value,’ Pompeo said. ‘He relies on the dirty work of other to make himself famous. He is a fraud — a coward hiding behind a screen.’
‘And in Kansas, we know something about false Wizards,’ said the former Kansas congressman in his first public remarks as CIA director.”
