May 24, 2006 - As controversial CIA Director Porter Goss exits the agency, NEWSWEEK has discovered new details about a purge of top agency operatives shortly after Goss's arrival in 2004. A bitter secret feud over a Clinton-era counterintelligence case was apparently a major motivation behind the loss of those seasoned intelligence veterans, sources say. Gen. Michael Hayden, President Bush's nominee to replace Goss as CIA chief, has signaled that when he is confirmed by the Senate, probably later this week, he intends to appoint one of the principal victims of the feud, former CIA operations chief Stephen Kappes, as deputy CIA director—a move that is regarded inside the intelligence world as a final insult to Goss and his inner circle.

During Clinton War against Christian Serbs in 1999, CIA agents left behind in abandoned Belgrade embassy top secret documents, Newsweek reports.
Look at the terrible news guys. The idiot Clark is still trying to sell his victory to the public.
Kosovo to be independent in months: ex-NATO general Thu May 25, 12:25 PM ET
PRISTINA, Serbia-Montenegro (AFP) - The former US general who commanded NATO's 1999 air war against Serbia predicted its southern province of Kosovo would become independent within months.

Wesley Clark told Kosovo Albanian leaders in Pristina he had confidence in their "strong, positive and visionary proposals" to find a solution for Kosovo, which has been run by the United Nations and NATO since 1999.
"I am confident that this issue will be solved very soon, and probably in few months, Kosovo will become independent and will respect the rights of all citizens," said Clark.
"I believe that Kosovo will be welcomed into the family of the nations and that there will be many opportunities for the citizens of this country to prosper, raise big families and make their dreams come true."
Clark, who is on a three-day visit to the disputed province, met Kosovo's President Fatmir Sejdiu and Prime Minister Agim Ceku, who said Clark was a great friend of Kosovo, who stood by it in its most difficult times.
"He is and will always be honored by the people of Kosovo," he said.
Clark commanded the 1999 NATO air strikes that drove Serbian forces loyal to former Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic out of Kosovo because of their brutal crackdown on ethnic Albanian separatists.
In good old days, failed officers would use their pistols...
on themselves.
Nowdays, they join Democrates!
Basicaly, same thing.
Do you recall CIA's "John Neighbor" blunder in Belgrade?
I had to buy some waist high boots...the crap was getting so deep.....can you believe it. A Mafia state supported by the international community, invaded by pre-fab claims of 10,000 dead plus....www.savekosovo.org
What do you think?
Of course they took the necessary documents.....gave it to the Russians.....
John Naighbor..
hhehehe..
Guy was arrested in public and put paper bag on his head!
That was humilliating.
The raticle sais that at least THREE sacret services got hold of the documents, Russian, and Serbian..
What is third? Chinees?
good guess....who else is the Serbs friendly with? Remember the Chinese Embassy during the bombing....Oppppss....laser guided bombs, precision bombing....:)))
Didn't go to school when they taught how to use plural form of "is?" Hint: if you have more than one of anything, the is becomes are.
And then lying about and playing stupid.
uh relly, I be comin from da Mountins, of nrth Karolina, and we jest had uh litle bit of scholing in the one room clasroom.....:))
lolol.....
Sure did. Word is that a younger agent brought that up in the planning meeting and was ignored or words to that effect......
No, they lied about their maps being "outdated." I mean, they can't even come up with a "credible lie." Then they basically blamed a junior (not younger) agent for having planned, implemented and executed the whole thing without anyone in the chain of command being involved.Let' be real. Someone didn't like the guy so he took the fall.
Hey, I understand it's a dirty business, but if they're going to lie they need to do a better job. Wy are the taxpayers paying them billions of dollars? The only difference is that when they lied about that incident, the Chinese got killed. Last time they lied, Americans are getting killed over some weapons that never existed. But, then, it's good for oil profits.
The CIA has been involved since 1948.....they entered Albanian and that's when it started.
In any case..you are right thanks for the insight. The only thing about the oil goes beyond the profits and wealth. We must have access to oil for the main purpose of "fueling" the war machine which is what I agree with as I'm a former Marine. However, I don't approve of the methods, specifically in the Balkans by lying about the attrocities. A Bosnian Serb commander gets 20 years and Ceku who did exactly what he did and more than likely more than he did.....in addition to Ramush and Tachi, who are Mafia kingpins. Most of the witnesses against Ramush have been murdered before trial. Ceku (reference Operation Storm in Croatia), has been "Pardoned"????? by Interpol....
This is on a grand scale and goes to deep pockets......
