CIA terminates Dr. K with extreme iciness (Kissinger)

When Porter Goss means "clean house", he means CLEAN HOUSE!

This is probably a smart move, the biggest drawback being these jilted academics (especially Bob "Interrogate Condi like she is a criminal" Kerry) will now rush like maniacs to every camera on the continent claiming the CIA is "bungling" the job. You know the press sycophants will only be too eager to parade them ad infinitum.

Kissinger will no doubt pop up as a pundit...then in four yrs

He'll be Bach

[Bahbah]

Eliminating Bob Kerrey from the inner circle cannot be a bad thing.

[MKM1960]

If he is still alive, in 4 years he will be 85.

[traviskicks]

I don't think much of Kissinger.

He stood for appeasing the Soviets, Proping up arab dictatorships and appeasing the vietnameese.

Good to see him go, he has a failed worldview (IMO).

[mystery-ak]

He's already a pundit..Greta has him on her show all the time.

[Elle Bee]

William H. Webster has been and empty suit of epic proportions ..... even for DC ... sleepy,bumbling and inept, and most recently when appointed by Bush (on a recommendation no doubt from his father) now shown to be hopelessly conflicted (read: corrupt)

.

Looks like a roomfull of leaks have been plugged.

[DainBramage]

If there was ever a member of a hidden government or behind the scenes cabal

running all sorts of self serving scams it was Kissinger.

He most likely IMO should be in jail.

[HMFIC]

Agreed. Kissassinger is a nasty pile of cow flop.

[BTCM]

Christopher Hitchens insists Dr. K should be tried as a war criminal.

[SubMareener]

Bob Kerrey didn't actually interogate Dr. Condi Rice, he interrogated a woman he called "Dr. Clark." Couldn't even get her name right.

It is entirely possible that this group was the source or encouragement for the recent anti-Bush leaking from the CIA.

[Casloy]

William Crowe??? What the hell was he doing on there in the first place. He was just one of Bill Clinton's sycophants.

[daybreakcoming]

I hope this doesn't mean he will be there and other shows more often now. I can only understand every 8th word he says.

[Ranger]

While I'm not in love with Dr. Strangelove, I wonder what the political purges at CIA do to increase our protection from al-Qaeda.

[IronJack]

The council of wise men recently sacked by the new CIA honcho includes 9/11 Commissioner and ex-Sen. Bob Kerrey (D-Neb.), who heads New School University in New York; former Sen. Sam Nunn (D-Ga.)

Wow! A bureaucrat who doesn't feel the need to carry the empty luggage from the former regime! And who feels perfectly justified in purging enemy combatants from within his own ranks!

How refreshing.

"Good to see him go, he has a failed worldview (IMO)."

Yes, Kissinger is a part of the NWO establishment, and all that is wrong with that aspect of things. Not to say others are not, but it is still good to see that he has lost influence.

[Williams]

Kissinger and Nixon preserved and extended American power at a time when America appeared to be in decline as a superpower. Their greatest move was opening China as a counter to the soviets. They also achieved a Vietnam military victory and peace that was only undone by the democrats in Congress AFTER Nixon's impeachment. They stood up to the Soviets and saved Israel by putting NATO on a nuclear war alert in 1973. Nixon was a staunch anti communist and was able to negotiate with them only because everyone trusted him to do it. They also, by the way, were able to keep secrets when they wanted to.

I think many of the comments here about Kissinger belonging in jail, etc. are ill informed. Kissinger helped save this country at a critical time in history.

This is GOOD NEWS!!!

Peter Goss has risen even further in my estimation. for what it's worth
