[Goss' aides are] too busy settling scores with some senior employees who have stood up to them in the past. They’re moving pals into plum positions and promoting those who appear to be malleable. The CIA meritocracy is in jeopardy.... I am not sure that the current DCI can recover from the wrong foot his partisan staff has put him on. But I can tell you one thing: He forced out the wrong fellows.

If they manage to get rid of the people who leaked classified data in order to hurt the President, then I really don't care how "arrogant" they seem.

I disagree. The CIA has always been political and Porter Goss is well aware that he has only a limited time to clean the deadwood out.

Good. Let us all hope that the CIA gets thoroughly purged, cleansed, refined-by-fire--or lots of firings, in this case.
