also, here is the link to CBS' story re: 60 Minutes tonite:

He forgot "and sell books". There'll soon be enough CIA leakers on the street for the DNC to have their own shadow CIA (...wait...they already did.)
"Anonymous" wrote a book where he argued that we should abandon Israel and open negotiations with Islamofascists so they stop being mean to us. He's one of the old school blueblood anti-Semites, the same types who wanted to appease Hitler in the 30's.
It's very good that he's left the CIA; he's exactly the sort of person who has been undermining our country for decades. Lately many in the CIA have been undermining President Bush, frankly trying to derail his re-election. Good riddance. His 15 minutes will soon be over.
Don't people involved with national security take national security anymore? When I left the service with what little knowledge I had, I figured I'd be shot if I ever went on national TV and spilled my guts about Soviet missile systems. If he releases so much as one secret he should be taken in for treason. If he isn't, the message will be sent that secrets are not really serious. Sandy Burger should be doing hard time already. You deminish the secret keeping ability of our people when you let these clowns get away with this.
WASHINGTON: A CIA analyst who wrote a book criticising the US war on terror resigned from the spy agency after it banned him from publicly discussing his views, his publicist said on Thursday.
So this is another left winger blowing the lid off of the left wing screw up!! Is this all for the embarressment of Georg Bush to point out his MISMANAGEMENT of the gobernment??
The CIA needs cleand out of the liberals left over from all of the liberal administrations, Clinton, Carter whoever. Get them out and make sure that we have loyal Americans in these positions, no Socialists.
I hope he gets charged with something...
No surprise that CBS would give a platform to this extreme creep.
Of course his meeting with senior CIA officials was "cordial". They are the ones sending him forth to do their dirty work by trashing Bush. I hope Bush puts every one of their heads on a pike and lines them up along the drive into CIA headquarters.
I wouldn't trust much of anything coming out of the CIA or the State Department for that matter. Both are infested with leftists and arabists.
Says will now serve the national interest by talking publicly about Bin Laden and 9/11-Commission Report
You mean we haven't? Could of fooled me.
If it's on 60 minutes, It'll probably make Bush look bad, and contain somewhat less than a grain of truth, if it contains any truth at all. All the story needs now is the Dan Rather seal of approval.

Goss Reportedly Rebuffed Senior Officials at CIA -- Four Fear New Chief Is Isolating Himself

The fact that it is sponsored by cbs indicates that it can not be taken seriously.
Goss has been running off tons of veterans. Veteran CIA guys just like this one who have ax's to grind.

If this is going to be on CBS, there's no way this is going to be anything that's helpful to the country. This guy has resigned, but I hope Goss is rooting out the rest of this nest of turncoats as quickly as possible.
CIA employees are prohibited from having unreported discussions with anyone from the media, or from publishing anything not previously cleared by the CIA. It is part of the employment agreement and meant to protect the nation's secrets. This jerk's ego and self interest was apparently more important than out nations security and he should have been prosecuted for publishing his book, if it he did indeed publish it without approval. When did it become ok for anyone in the CIA to spout off whenever they don't agree with their organization?
There are reports in the Washington Times that "anonymous" was a ringleader in the band that was trying to undermine President Bush on Iraq through stories about WMD, dispersal of security forces, and numerous other pieces of bad news that embarrassed the White House. He quit. I would have fired him!
They monitored OBL's public statements really, really well?
His whines about the invasion of Iraq are equally bizarre. Apparently the geniuses like him in our intelligence services had Iraq totally under control! Which is an odd thing to believe given that we KNOW that either (1) Saddam was cheating on the sanctions OR (2) the CIA's intelligence on him sucked or (3) some combination.
As near as I can figure, he's the equivalent of a regulatory bureaucrat who's upset that his apple cart's been shaken up by deregulation.
His way, he WASN'T ACTUALLY SOLVING ANYTHING (and was never going to!) but at least they had an Ongoing Problem to point to which guaranteed an indefinite steady stream of funds and a role for him to play as an "expert" on such Ongoing Problems.
