However there have also been rumblings of discontent at the CIA's headquarters in Langley, Virginia.
Several high-level CIA staff have resigned recently.
CIA boss in surprise resignation ~ Mr Goss said: "I believe the agency is on a very even keel
So I asked if anyone else had heard about this but got no answers. Could it be that Peter Goss, below the radar of the MSM, has been able to come much farther with his house-cleaning, and the firing of McCarthy was just a final touch?
I know I may be desparately looking for good signs. Anyone here able to shed some light on this?

There is a recent report that approx 25,000 people have left the CIA since Porter took over.
If it was 100,000 at the beginning, that leaves 75,000.
Maybe his job was nearly complete.
Again, we need confirmation on the number, but that is the latest.
Don't know for sure, but I've read in a number of places that a dozen or more people retired rather abruptly in the first few months Goss was on the job. Of course, MSM spin artists have portrayed that as Goss and his aides running roughshod over good people, but if we believe that there were seriously bad apples of the Pflame/McCarthy/McGovern variety (obviously there were!!) then any of those types deciding to flee before being caught would of course portray it to their friends and media pals as "mean ol' Porter Goss is driving all these good people (LIKE ME) out of the CIA"...... certainly I hope that Goss was well attuned to who the real problem cases were, though I wish some of them would be PROSECUTED (but that's too much to hope for when they are probably good at covering their tracks).
