Sounds like "Dilbert:CIA".

[pacpam]

The CIA Director knew the Agency would fall under Negtroponte from the gitgo. Why is it so hard for reporters to gather facts from real sources instead of repeating the buzz.

[BoBToMatoE]

According to the Post, Goss' staff used to ask about the party affiliations of analysts who made negative assessments of the Iraq situation.

Um, you know, after the past few elections and all we hear from the DNC lately - how could you blame them? I dont. EVERYTHING you hear from a democrat concerning Iraq is nothing but negative gloom and doom so they can undermine or force Bush out of office - especially in the CIA.

[ex-snook]

Of interest is why the absence of prior reporting for justify this termination. Many accounts now mention problems that the agency was having. Obviously problems never achieved the critical mass now every reporter seems to have discovered. Weird.

MISSION ACCOMPLISH...GOSS COMPLETED THE CLEAN UP OF THE CIA ANYTHING ELSE IS THE LEFT SPINNING...cause there's a storm comin' and it's headed right squarely at the DEMS

According to the Post, Goss' staff used to ask about the party affiliations of analysts who made negative assessments of the Iraq situation.

As you say, this is completely understandable. Especially since clinton took political operatives like Mary McCarthy and "bureaucratized" them by stuffing them into key posts before he left office.

[BARLF]

Doncha just love the media? They know squat about what President Bush hired Peter Goss to do. They know squat what Peter Goss and president talked about.

If Peter Goss is the man I believe him to be he will never blab it in a book.

JMHO

Oh man,....now that is GOOD!!!

Got to have this:

**********************************

Point of clarity that will be coming out in the days and weeks to come, Mary (Loose Lips) McCarthy wasn't just "a" leaker - she was in fact the Queen Bee leaker from which all the little worker bees delivered their 'honey'.

So do you get it now? Goss killed the Queen - mission accompished. By the way, while Priest laments on an "agency in turmoil", I actually hear that far more in the agency are happy that Goss came to town and killed off the hive.

"I liked his leadership. .....The tired lifers that couldn't keep their puss off a phone receiver to the media.....we're a intelligence agency, not the Democratic National Committee...."

[shield]

And why was Porter Goss's resignation so surprising to everyone...because Porter Goss had the LEAKERS SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. LOL Eveyone is trying to spin this by saying this was sudden....NO IT WASN'T ... it was sudden to them cause NO ONE was around to leak it!!! If I was to take a guess...this resignation had been planned for sometime...;o)

[Hildy]

We'll see. But you have to admit, if you're right, the timing was terrible.

[Marine_Uncle]

"Goss killed the Queen - mission accompished."
It probably is that simple. And the L/MSM continue to just spin like a centrifuge with in this case, no input, therefore, no output is produced.
The queen bee, is no more. And the drones now understand the ramifications of playing with the L/MSM. The L/MSM are in a rampage, foaming at the mouth realizing the gig just may be up. Every other Intel and Security Agency will follow suit. Rules will be inforced. You leak you loss your job and perhaps will end up behind bars. Now if 2008 will find a reasonable choice to replace the POTUS with another republican willing to continue to insist things do not change backward, who knows. For the first time in some thirty years we may start to be able to purge the damn commies out of the CIA and other organizations.

Clinton didn't ask about CIA political affiliations when he took over - he just fired everyone and staffed to whole place with card carrying go-along-to-get-along lefties.

[Grampa Dave]

The Queen Leaker Bee is dead!

The Queen Leaker Bee is dead!

[Grampa Dave]

Goss was asking the right question to root out the traitors.

Are you a democrat?

[floriduh voter]

From Drudge. GOSS was cattin' around big time if you believe this.

[txrangerette]

Not from the ***NY Daily News***, I don't (believe it).

[Sacajaweau]

Considering that Berger appointed Mary and Berger is attached by the hip to the Clinton's, and Mary would certainly have known about Valerie and Joe, everything makes sense.

Then add the fact that Cooper is married to Hillary's best friend, Mandy and it was Cooper's FIRST WEEK AS CHIEF WHITEHOUSE CORRESPONDENT, and he made the calls to Rove and Libby...gee...How many da** dots do you need.

[Laverne]

I think the folks who are speculating that Goss did his job and it was time to move on are correct. He got the key leaker; that is what he went in to do -- clean out the scum. He succeeded and will now retire, with mission accomplished under his belt.
