So, what is the penalty for Treason?

Public praise.

Movie deals.

FYI, just this morning, Lindsey Graham said, in favor of the administration, it has been previously determined that these specific individuals (al queda terrorists) do not have Geneva Convention rights (accessible for interviews and inspections) but basic American values for detention will apply. In other words, these are the worse or the worse.

Those posters are GREAT.

Things certainly have changed.

Porter Goss needs a fire hose.

The communists in our universities are the real problem.

My father rode with Pershing when he was down in Mexico chasing Poncho Villa and on to France with him in WWI.

Really? Do you have pictures or stories? I would love to read them!

[Calpernia]

I will ping you to the one I just posted at the Canteen :)

"And we here in the Heartland all say, SO WHAT if the CIA has prisons for these terrorist criminals!"

It could be worse. The WP could be reporting "Bush administration wastes money on network of secret prisons with no one in them." At least this way we know we're getting something for our tax dollars.

"Would I run a page one story on Dec. 5, 1944 that the allies are invading Normandy tomorrow?"

Reminds me of Bluto Blutarsky's rhetorical question -- "Did we quit when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?"

[kellynla]

I'd have to do some digging.
But I don't have any pictures in California.
I do have a picture drawn of my father by one of his fellow Soldiers from WWI which hangs in my office.

and as for stories, like most of the Doughboys, may father didn't talk about the war.

[Calpernia]

That is a shame. I like finding MIL pages and reading stories when they are posted. I learn more from them then I ever did in history classes.

Debate grows within agency about legality, morality of approach

Note to CIA: These people want to KILL us!!!

[CaptRon]

Would I run a page one story on Dec. 5, 1944 that the allies are invading Normandy tomorrow? I think not.

You'd have been off by 6 months anyway.

. If he thinks WWII was in some way a 'Clean' War, warranting his cooperation and approval because of this impression, he is way out to lunch. WWII (And every other War) was a War and inherently unclean.

The Left supported WWII only because it was to save Stalin. If Pearl Harbor had occured before Barbarossa, there would have been no Normandy invasion, Hitler would have been "Uncle Adolf" and the european war would have been compartmentalized despite the inconvenient Axis treaty between Tokyo and Berlin or the Left, including Vice President and communist Henry Wallace, would have torn our "unity" competely apart and Roosevelt's life wouldn't have been worth a plugged wooden nickel.

Porter Goss and his counterintelligence people should re-polygraph EVERY CIA staff member, to plug this and future leaks. All leakers should be tried for treason.

[SevenMinusOne]

Why does anyone think the entire CIA is composed ONLY of traitors and double agents?

I don't think anyone thinks the CIA is composed of "only" traitors and Lib's - But the fact remains are large segment of the CIA certainly is composed of just that! - The CIA in the late 80's and 90's became completely risk adverse. It also became extremely political (especially so for an agency where politics should be left at the door).

Mr. Goss is most likely (hopefully) doing what he can to remove many of these types - Though it will definitely take time. As I said, outside of the SAD, the CIA is not a reliable agency at this time. That is the bottom line. Way too many within the CIA are willing to leak to the MSM, still risk adverse and looking to conduct their own foreign policy.
