All Things Considered, July 11, 2009 · The CIA last week launched a review of how it briefs key members of Congress after House Democrats complained that the agency has been misleading Congress for the past eight years.

Build thyself to such great height                          that thee thyself thy destiny write.
                                                                                                                                                       —Iqbal

87:14 But (only) those will prosper who purif y themselves  (i.e. self-improve).

It is never too late to begin.
