Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Porter Goss have a questionable reputation re the CIA. Didn't he hurt the agency in some way?
New York Times = Terrorist Rag and Owner of Judges (Marshall-Lewis, voice of the Forced-Homosexual Lobby)
The NYTimes thinks this is a leak? Sounds more like common sense, something the CIA has been lacking.
This is getting interesting. Good for Goss. That john needed flushing.
Do you mean to say that the CIA was NOT established as an opposition organization that is supposed to openly challenge, resist and and embarrass the executive branch of government?
Those who leaked this memo have signalled to Goss who they are.
The fact that this memo got leaked is rock-solid proof that major changes need to be made at the CIA. Probably we'll see all the same shenanigans when it's time to clean out State, as well.
No, he has a sterling reputation.
He has been quite critical of the agency's lapses in the past while in Congress, especially the Aldrich Ames fiasco.
Actually the Carteristas embedded in the farm may be the most dangerous Asps.
Fire the bast!@#
In fact, going beyond that, anyone found guilty of leaking that memo should hang.
The news SHOULD BE that such a memo was even NECESSARY! The NYT, WAPO, et al, can't be thinkink!(sic)..........
Whoever leaked that memo needs to be fired!
Take them all out.
I feel that the Carteristas have been messing up the CIA for decades. The Clintoonistas have only had a decade to cause problems.
Too many Clinton holdovers still in the government. That's why we're in the mess we're in. Time to clean house.
And, of course, a 'primer' for newbies, or those confused on this issue:
THE 'GOOD GUYS':
Director Goss. Conservatives. Goss's new senior staff at CIA. President Bush. Condi Rice. Lots of career analyst and ops people at CIA who are frustrated. Washington Times. Dick Cheney. Bill Gertz.
THE 'BAD GUYS':
Leakers. Clintonites. Bureaucrats too comfortable with their position presiding over a silly annual performance system based on 'just getting scalps' (i.e. quantitative figures for peripheral assets, no matter how poor, signed up to meet annual numbers, as opposed to REAL RISK TAKING, i.e. quality, and, for example, recruiting top agents within the Saddam Regime or close to Kim Jong-il.) Washington Post. George Tenet. Stephen Kappes. Nancy Pelosi. Joe Wilson. Recently resigned three or four top anti-Bush senior managers. Michael Slusik. Michael Scheur. Tens of fired (or about to be fired) career types who sided with Clinton destruction of the Agency. CBS. NBC. ABC. AP. NPR. New York Times.
Looks like Goss hasn't fired nearly enough of them yet...
