The more waves the better. When Goss took over, the CIA was a cesspool of clintonoid corruption and incompetence.
Wonderful! A great many veterans in the CIA need to leave -
Sounds like Bush nominated a crony, someone with no experience running the CIA. Conservatives should be furious!
Cleaning the commies... er.. uh.. cobwebs, outa the place. : )
Burrowcrats hate to have the spotlight on them.
Limpiando la casa! This is what I think Rumsfield and Rice are also doing in their departments.
Wichita Eagle, kansas.com. Tenet was from Kansas, wasn't he?
Changes are certainly overdue. The agency was starting to resemble a Seattle e-startup: too many guys & gals driving minivans, punching the clock.
"The CIA, it's not an adventure, it's just a job."
As usual, the Left will jump to the defense of incompetent "veterans" like Richard Clarke who want to go back to Clinton ignoring terrorism.
Looks to me like this should be creating opportunities for those who are interested in some exciting jobs.
Running crying to the AP. Goss was CIA and knows what he's doing.
It would be nice to return to the days when nobody messed with the USA, and if they did, the CIA took care of it.
This is well overdue. CIA is like most other federal agencies , in that its workforce is aging rapidly, and most workers cut their teeth during the Cold War when CIA was opposite a well-funded institutional intelligence apparatus.
Now that the game has changed, and we're trying to gain intelligence on many loosely organized groups, the CIA needs massive change.
Personally, I'd favor disbanding CIA and reconstituting it under military control like the NSA. But since that isn't politicaly feasible, what Goss is doing sounds like good medicine.
"Richard Kerr, a former CIA deputy director who led a review of the Iraq intelligence for Tenet, said he does not have the impression that Goss has inspired the organization's full confidence.
"It's a leadership issue. How do people perceive you?" Kerr said. "I am concerned about people with limited experience running large and complex organizations.""
Yeah. Let's let the people who have been failing for 30 years evaluate him.
I think Goss is great!
One of Bush's best moves.
Wish we could clone him and send Goss2 to State
Good! Now if someone can make the same thing happen at the Department of State we will really be getting somewhere!
