How the CIA Came Unglued (Three-Bagger Barf Alert!!!)
The Washington Post ^ | May 12, 2005 | David Ignatius (or Ignoramus, in this case)

To understand what went so badly wrong at the CIA under Porter Goss, it's worth examining the career of his executive director, the onomatopoetic Kyle "Dusty" Foggo. His rise illustrates the conservative cronyism, leak paranoia and political vendettas that undermined Goss's tenure.

-- snip --

The chronic mismanagement of the CIA under Goss and Murray has been an open secret for many months, and the real question is why it took the Bush White House so long to fix it. When I posed this question a few weeks ago to a senior administration official, he repeated the line that the agency was full of leakers and obstructionists. The political vendetta against the CIA went to the top, in other words. It did real damage to the country before President Bush finally called a halt.

...and day is night, and up is down. And David Ignatius lives on another planet, in an alternative universe, where all CIA bureaucrats are courageous public servants and brave whistleblowers and the Administration that tries to rein them in and stop them from damaging national security and losing the war against Islamofascism is running a "political vendetta." Un-freaking-believable.

you probably have many individuals working there like that egotistical robert clarke who believes that if you don't cater to his views, then you must be the enemy.

Yes, but the bad news is, right now, we're blind.

If it's in the Post and it involves national security in any manner at all, it's undoubtedly treasonous.

This Ignatius guy bothers me a lot. He's moved right to the top in the hierarchy of traitorous "posties", seemingly without anything meritorious in his background to justify this sort of promotion.

That's GREAT!
You managed to make so many statements,
in such a small space.

I love it! ;o)
