I really curious as to how "liberal bias" exists in the White House and
upper levels of the CIA when we've had a neo-con administration for 6
years.

 

Neo-con may translate into "new" conservation - I think the true definition is conservative with a liberal streak.

One problem is that the Bush administration did not house clean.  For example, George Tenet (CIA) and Louis Freeh (FBI) both Clintonoids and liberal Democrats - both stayed into the Bush administration.  The same goes for loads of policy wonks at the lower levels.  Many liberal officials were never moved out - instead they have used the bureaucracy to move up. 

 

Another problem is that Bush elected to try to compromise - please or appease the liberals.  The result was he did not please anyone.  Bush left his conservative politics behind after the campaign was over and adopted a "Wilsonian" style administration.  This has allowed a number of liberals to acquire positions and move into the NSC at the White House.

 

Finally, I noted that there was in many cases no difference in certain policies between Bill Clinton and George Bush (both Bushes).  I have more than one case where they share the same policy and the same policy advisors.
