And this is a perfect example of the leaky CIA..One wrote a book for heavens sake.
Exactly. Anything the administration tries to do within the CIA, there are those who will try to undermine it.
It was certainly easier being a CIA agent during Clinton's tenure. They must have hoped for a Kerry presidency.
Under Clinton, and presumably a Kerry presidency (shudder), there would be no accountability. Neither of those guys was going to war no matter what, so agents didn't have to offer rock solid evidence of anything. And of course, rock solid evidence in the intelligence world is nearly impossible unless they are lucky enough to catch someone on videotape.
Good point!
This very story itself must have been leaked by one or all of these "four former deputy directors of operations"! I'm glad Goss told them to take a hike. It definitely sounds like Goss has some understanding of where the bodies are buried, and who the bad guys are, and who the good guys are.
PURGE THEM ALL
(CNN) -- A book written by a top CIA counterterrorism official alleges that the Bush administration has bungled the war on terror, and because of poor decisions the United States faces a choice in Iraq and Afghanistan "between war and endless war."
Written by a high-level counterterrorism expert and published under the name "Anonymous," the book "Imperial Hubris: Why the West is Losing the War on Terror" is unique in that it was written by an official still working for the CIA.
And with the book slated to be released next week, the author has already appeared -- in shadow -- on a Sunday political talk show to defend his work.
On ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopolous," the author accused some senior officials in the U.S. intelligence community of "a great deal of moral or bureaucratic cowardice" in dealing with the war on terror.
Exactly! Four leaks identified!
