In each case it is because the organization is full of liberals.

Correct. Give me a room with two or more liberals and I will show you a plan to burn the room down. I would go as far as to say that liberals always have a burr under their saddle about something but jack__ses don't often wear saddles.

When I think of the CIA, I think of some truly scary mothers.
I don't think of buraucrats and analysts.
Give us some Jason Bournes. Lots of 'em.

Liberal used to describe people who stood for something, people like Hubert Humphrey. Since 1968, it describes those who give individualism a bad connotation.

There's a bit too much vindictiveness and outright hatred in liberals for me anymore. The liberals I have personally known seem to be seeking a utopia on earth and cannot fathom that others may not agree with them. Not that we don't see some of that inability to cooperate here on FR from rigid conservatives. The American liberal movement has drifted a bit too close to socialism and communism for my tastes. They hate religion, they want to redistribute wealth, they despise individualism and entrepreneurship and they seem to want government to become a huge, but dangerous, elite ruling class.
To: Muleteam1
The difference between them and the communists is a difference of degree rather than kind.

This has "Negroponte" written all over it... He's cleaning house, kicking ass, and taking names...
But we all will have to wait and see what comes down the river... I have a bad feeling about this...
To: RobbyS
I suppose degrees are all that separate any government form.
To: SierraWasp
Sorry if I offended you with my rigid conservative comment. I can be pretty rigid in my beliefs as well and I don't disagree with true conservatism. My comparison beween liberals and conservatives was not in regard to their beliefs but in regard to an inability to compromise. Experience has taught me when liberals are laying a trap for me in a supposed compromise, and age and experience have taught me that cooperation is sometimes needed to get a smile from a prune-eating liberal. Never assume that as a conservative we are too dumb to take on a liberal in a game of wits.

"Negroponte"You mean the idiot that is still calling himself "Ambassador," and expecting everyone around him to do the same? He still thinks he's in the State Department!!!
You mean the idiot that last week said Iran was at least 10 years away from having a nuclear bomb? He's the one that should have been asked to resign immediately!!!
He's the one that has been encouraging that Iranian punk President to keep rattling his sabre, thus keeping the price of oil where it's been!!!
I have been having bad feelings about Negropointyheadedidiot!!!

All is well that ends well. But we both know there's sometimes a fine line between some compromises and near capitulation that just puts off the inevitable confrontation. That then only helps the one that has the most patience, which usually isn't the conservative!!!
The old practice of compromising 50%, then 50% of that, then 50% of whatever remains is totally self-destructive and NOT recommended for conservatives, it would seem... but what do I know? I'm old school and traditional.
When they tell me... "bend or break, change or die," I'm too old to bend and don't give a hoot about changing from the fabulous life I've lived in such a fabulous nation. I'm not the slightest bit interested in compromising with those who simply want change for the sake of change. This is simply a young person's trick, knowing that ANY change inurs to their benefit!
What us old guys have lost in physical prowess, strength and endurance, we more than make up for in shrewdness, cunning and shear treachery! You youngsters shouldn't "start" with us if you value your dignity as much as we value what little we have left!!! (grin)(we don't have any time to recover anything we lose, you see)

>>>
Close the agency down... they are turning into the KGB.<<< I just wish they were they were as good at collecting intelligence as the old KGB...but without the aaahh... harsh methods!
One of the best comments I saw elsewhere was: "the CIA used to get in trouble for attempting to overthrow foreign governments, now, (since Clinton) they are attempting to overthrow the US government"!!
Pretty much right on!

There is no DCI ! That position was replaced by DNI. The Dir of CIA is now just that, director of a single agency CIA. The Dir/CIA no longer head the intelligence community. (Not that in practical terms he had any real authority over the IC even though he was supposed to!) The DNI heads the IC now thats what all the legislation was about. Goss probably realized it was a position shrinking in importance, maybe senator is better hence the resignation.
