Good!
That cesspool is overdue for a good cleaning.
When he's done, can he go over to the state department and start cleaning up there, too???
I thought this kind of housecleaning was done at the beginning of an asministration.
"Only 90, baby?"
(I'm trying to come up with a good Austin Powers-type line...help!)
This is payback for the way the Clinton Intelligence Agency (oxymoron) keeps stabbing the President in the back trying to secure a Kerry win. Maybe the "New Tone/Uniter, not a Divider" stuff wasn't such a good idea after all.
That cesspool is overdue for a good cleaning.
And the State Department.
Works for me!
After State, he can move on to the TSA, HUD, HHS, etc. ad nauseam.
Sack-a-delic?
It's wise to leave your enemies close sometimes, if only to be in a position to receive when you redirect the inevitable political mud to where it rightfully belongs.
Sounds like the adults are now in charge!
WAY TO GO!!!!! Throw out all the Clintonistas!
This is fantastic, encouraging news.
Maybe I was wrong about Goss-we'll see.
The CIA 'old guard' goes to war with Bush
Jim Pavitt, a 31-year CIA veteran who retired as a departmental chief in August, said that he cannot recall a time of such "viciousness and vindictiveness" in a battle between the White House and the agency.
[SNIP]
Bill Harlow, the former CIA spokesman who left with the former director George Tenet in July, acknowledged that there had been leaks from within the agency. "The intelligence community has been made the scapegoat for all the failings over Iraq," he said. "It deserves some of the blame, but not all of it. People are chafing at that, and that's the background to these leaks."
Goss sounds like the man to do the job.
I've read quite a bit about the liberal bias at the CIA.
Clean 'em out!
I have to agree. The klintoon appointees of the CIA should have been terminated when President Bush took office. Make America safer fire all the klintoon appointees now. Bush/cheney 2004
You are assuming that the problems within the CIA, and the State Department are solely the result of the "political" appointees left over from the Clinton Administration. This is not, nor ever has been, the case. The majority of these 90 people, I hope, are long time, "career" people, with covert, and sometimes not so covert, Arabophile tendencies. People like this have been infiltrating both "branches" of the State Department for many decades, and have been subverting the national interest for their own parcohial interests all along.
They belong to what I've been calling "the Foggy Bottom" crowd, and are fairly easy to spot, once you know their game. They are usually "sophisiticated urbanites", who have one or more degrees from "the right schools" (read an Ivy League college "center of indoctrination"), and are quite vocal at sneering at average Americans, should you be able to engage them in conversation in an unguarded moment...

Uh huh.
That is my single biggest gripe with GW; he left too many people in a position to stick a knife in his (and our) back. Alot of those people are directly responsible for the mess we found (and find) ourselves in.
