Things must be terribly wrong at the CIA, for McCain to come out so strongly in favor of a real cleaning.

I am glad that Goss is not allowing himself to be intimidated and goes on with the plan to turn the CIA into what it is supposed to be: an intelligence organization.

McCain is a pompous blowhard. But he has this situation pegged but it isn't anything the administration isn't well aware of.

dedicated career intelligence officers have been replaced by Capitol Hill hacks.

What have the dedicated career intelligence officers done to stop terrorism? Nothing that I know of. Even if there are Capitol Hill hacks replacing them I feel a whole lot safer than before.

No kidding. I, an American housewife, could see that from my home in Tucson, Arizona for at least two years now. I have posted often about it.

I must say, we got so used to wrong-doing being ignored or shrugged over, I do find it thrilling to see pro-active measures being aggressively taken to address it.

Check out Novak on the CIA.

He should know. He watched how the CIA supported the Wilson/Plame "version" (lie) about Wilson's journey to Niger and he watched how they pushed the tall tale about the Bush administration "leaking" Plame's "name" when they did no such thing.

Interesting.

I love how all of a sudden the "mainstream" press is all concerned about the wonderful CIA; back in the old days not so long ago they hated the CIA's guts. I wonder what changed exactly? Oh yeah, they started attacking a President the press didn't like.
