C.I.A. Multi-tasking?
It isn't working

Hey, what's with the C.I.A.?
    Who's letting them freelance?
Instead of checking undies
    they're moonlighting in finance.

Why ignore the Christmas bomber
    to indulge in Wall Street spying?
Do its gamblers need more clues
    to know when customers are lying?

Doesn't it take one to know one?
    How much help can Wall Street need,
Selling short what they've told buyers
    they were pretty sure'd succeed?

Republicans have been so prescient,
    "terrorists will strike again",
And sure enough they are on Wall Street.
    The question wasn't if, but when.

These terrorists need more protection?
    Don't they have the Fed's Bernanke?
And in a pinch they've got Blackwater,
    the firm D.A.s now know as Xe.

But, admit it, you'd feel safer
    if they all were overseas.
Let's extradite Wall Street and Langley
    as well as all the X Y Zs.
