samantha, the more I listened to the wild speculation and insane ranting (especially that of Bill Kristol, who is convinced that the President, the most loyal person in the world, caved to forces that were angry with Goss for getting rid of the trash and abandoned him so that now no conservatives will feel safe implementing his policies, bwhahahah, what nonsense), the more I think you may be on the money here.
Years ago, there was a CIA agent found dead in his veh(apparent suicide), and this was when Porter Goss was head of the House Intelligence committee, and Boob Graham at the time was his counterpart in the Senate. He (Goss) was cold as ice about the entire matter, and even though they tried to point fingers at him as the reason why the Guy killed himself that was put to rest. I have been curious for years about this, and I believe I will do a search in a few minutes to assuage my curiosity.
