CIA chief quits after 'Hookergate'

Same old, same old. The disinformation is quickly spread across the Atlantic.

I guess I don't have to point out "former senior CIA operative", "Larry Johnson, a former CIA operative and a Bush administration critic", and "former high-ranking CIA official".

It gives me a warm feeling that all these people are "former" and not "present". Whatever the reasons for Goss's retirement, he must have done something good!

[ScaniaBoy]

Ping!

London Times on "Hookergate".
The Dezinformatsia is spreading.

[Laverne]

I skimmed the article, not a single word about the big leaker he caught -- Mary O. McCarthy? The big dem donor, pal of Val and Joe. Yet they quote the discredited Larry Johnson. This kind of garbage is why old media is/has gone downhill and is ignored by most sane people. This is not news, its just the old standard smear campaign that the dems are so well known for.

"Inside the CIA Goss quickly became unpopular after he drove out some of the agency’s most experienced hands — more than a dozen senior leftist officials." left."

There, fixed it.

So what's the big deal if they play poker???

Prostitutes and kickbacks are another issue...

[beyond the sea]

What a bunch of garganzola ..... ad I don't mean the cheese.

Yoi and double yoi.

[gondramB]

<> Of course it has. So basically, all they have at the moment is that that somebody appointed at Goss' suggestion played poker with somebody under investigation over bottled water in a hotel suite that at some other time may have contained hookers and the conclusion they draw is "CIA chief quits after 'Hookergate'"

Is it any wonder so many good people dont want to serve in government?

[starbase]

This is disgusting.

Who would play Poker when you can play Blackjack?

[madconserv]

the CIA is buzzing with rumours

Ah yes, the MSM just loves the rumors mill. What a bunch of crapy, crap, crap.

[Always Right]

Larry Johnson is the f-ing intelligence genius who wrote a New York Times editorial 2 monthw prior to 911 that terrorism is not a threat to the US. Real smart.

[Erik Latranyi]

Ah yes, the MSM just loves the rumors mill.

Except when it is aimed at liberals. Then those rumors must be investigated and triple-substantiated prior to being reported....then, once substantiated, it is downplayed as a "private matter" or the product of "sensational jounalism".

[gondramB]

>>I'm sure there was a good reason the White House didn't discuss WHY he "resigned."<<

So you signed up with a CIA official's name to post that?

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

I wonder if these disgruntled "patriots" noticed that the last several books written for leftists have been tanking lately.

Welcome to Free Republic. I have see visions of viking kitties for the rest of the short time you spend here.

[madconserv]

Here's one for ya:

One thing all those gloom and doom articles contain is the idea that "the Repubs fear a "disaster" on Election Day.
I don't think the election is going to be anti-Repub as much as anti-incumbent.

In Ohio and VA recently the incumbent Repubs were tossed and replaced by fresh blood.

Repub voters DID NOT opt to vote third party or Democrat.

Things are better than many think. Also Fox New's poll shows improvement for Bush.

Like everything else the MSM reports I will hold back making any remarks about anyone of Bushes appointees until I hear the real truth..These people are like vultures..

I will remark on one thing though,where is all the news on the senators and congressman when it come to sleazy stuff that happened in the democrat watch during Clinton..You won't hear about them since they would be democrats.

"Dusty" and "Duke". If only I liked poker and cigars and hookers, I could have a nickname too.

All your poles belong to ours MSM.
