Interesting piece.
Do you think Porter Goss is up to the job? I am reading mixed reviews on Steve Kappes- the deputy director of operations. From what I've learned so far- it's difficult as an outsider to discern whether people inside the agency are just PO'ed that there's housecleaning- or if Goss is really going about this wrong.
One thing we surely do NOT need are any more Church/Toricelli types making changes.
Goss may or may not be the perfect candidate. If the Senate meddles to obnoxiously, we will never find out. A lot of CIA careerists will reflexively fight change. They'll see it as killing the goose that lays their golden egg.
