That was my first thought about Goss, but there may be more resignations tomorrow. We are therefore losing a lot of experienced leadership. However, the CIA may have become an entity where the primary objective is to protect itself with a "good ole boy" type mindset. In addition, Goss wants to empower the field officers, which may have prevented 9-11 if done earlier. I’m still uncertain.
My argument is a bit incomplete. On the other side, I think the CIA is more like the US military than other government bureaucracies, so promotions are based on qualifications and the system is competent and closed. And remember the saying, “when you put on the second star, you become a politician”. Just think if someone tried to perform housecleaning within the military.
