Just a note to remind you that papa Bush was the CIA director and his son is no fool in that department. Maybe you know that it is impossible to fire a bad teacher. Multiply that by ten and you have the degree of difficulty of firing civil service employees. Fortunately, Porter Goss made some mad enough to quit.

The most shocking failure of the government has been the failure of the CIA to catch al Quaeda and know Iraq's capabilities. Much more serious, imho, than Abu Gharib.

"Fortunately, Porter Goss made some mad enough to quit."

Great. I will light a candle in the hope that Goss makes some more mad.

"Senior" White House Offical? That would be a hoot.
