Get rid of all the Clinton holdovers. A Soviet-style purge is just what the doctor ordered.

Good. Accountability is our friend.

Glad it was made public, too.

It is good to see someone having to take responsibility for failure within government. As bureaucratic failure goes, not knowing Saddam's fall-back strategy was pretty huge. The WMD I can forgive, for I think they're in Syria or the sand.

Note that she's an economist. A perfect fit -- considering our current enemy as a GDP of squat damn! For that matter, the CIA was godawful at estimating the size of the USSR's economy.

I'm sure this is all a good idea, but what I don't understand is why didn't Bush strike while the iron was hot, on 9/12/01? Why leave the whole gang in place for 3 years and then start the heads rolling? Now he is open to all the second guessing of the liberals, everyone's mouth was shut back in 'o1 and NOBODY would have said "tenent should stay" then. Did it really take my beloved W THREE years to figure out we had a bunch of losers at the CIA?

Well, in a holiday spirit the pink slips could wait till Jan 3. One shouldn't be a crocodile.

It's difficult to tolerate the NYTimes's contrived writing style.

Good ! The end of the year is the right time to do this. I would've done it earlier, but now's as good a time as any.

not at all, in the modern US corporation, Friday afternoons and holiday periods are the times when they make announcements to clean the place out. the executives get off on giving the employees that extra "kick in the a**".

Ms. Miscik has headed analysis at the agency since 2002,...

Ms. Miscik, an economist who rose through the ranks of the intelligence directorate over a 21-year career at the agency,..

I'm not sure she is a Clintonite, but she blew it on pre-war intel.

New broom sweeps clean. CIA, NSA and DIA has to be ahead of the game.
