McCain Blasts CIA as 'Rogue Agency'

Sen. John McCain blasted the Central Intelligence Agency on Sunday for its intelligence failures in the war on terror, adding that the nation's premier intelligence service has "in some ways" become a "rogue agency" that has betrayed President Bush.
Commenting on reports that a shake up by newly installed director Porter Goss has prompted a wave of resignations of top CIA brass, McCain told ABC's "This Week": "This is a dysfunctional agency and in some ways a rogue agency. This is the agency that gave the president of the United States - when he asked for information about weapons of mass destruction - said, 'It's a slam dunk.'"
The Arizona Republican accused disloyal elements within the CIA of working to undermine President Bush, complaining that they had engaged in "leaking information that could be damaging to the president prior to the election - using a compliant media, if I may say so."
McCain said that the CIA has also failed in its attempts to gather intelligence on North Korea and Iran, complaining that the U.S. knows little more about those two countries that it did ten years ago.
Addressing reform efforts by Director Goss, McCain said he's "on the right track. He is being savaged by these people who want the status quo and the status quo is not acceptable."
When each of these Carter or Clintoon hate America/GW a$$holes are forced out, they need to sign the secrecy agreement which is standard that any exposure/revelation of what went on in the agencys would be a severe criminal action.
Then when these anti Americans are pushed out and go whining to the Washington Post or NY Slimes, they and the person they whined to get the full impact of this law.
At least it's good to see McCain backing our president (for a change)!
what more than a few stories leave out is that PG was a member of the CIA - he knows plenty and so does his staff.
Roughly mid-Clinton, it would have been exceptionally tough to develop HUMINT assets in either fairly closed society. Clinton was too busy selling high tech to the Chinese.
Also, keep in mind that the Agency, like other Federal agencies, is somewhat at the mercy of the Administration.
I'm sure that between the Gorelick Memo stovepiping data and the Clintons wanting to cover their shady dealings, a lot went relatively unprobed.
I make no claim to any knowledge of agency workings, but if it is like elsewhere, failure to comply with administration policies at the time, no matter how altruistic or patriotic your intent, could lead to a new appointee filling your slot.
I'm not sure I trust McCain to determine who is a 'keeper' and who isn't. In fact, if he isn't complaining, that tends to raise a flag with me.
