This is news? I think most everyone with half a brain has known this for the last five years. But I am glad that some high ranking Republican has finally realized it. Now if someone would just do something about it!
Agreed, Frank Gaffney, Ken Adelman, Richard Perle...and the late Caspar Weinberger... have been openly asserting the CIA being rogue for many, many years.
But I am glad that some high ranking Republican has finally realized it.
Weldon and Hoekstra...and Porter Goss... have been onto the problem for a long time.
Now if someone would just do something about it!
Porter Goss left Congress to help the Administration out to do just that. And he did it reluctantly, only under a sense of patriotic obligation, and with extreme promises by the Administration to back him to the hilt, then he peremptorily got the heave-ho after only 19 months, when the politics got messy (which was predictable, if you go into a hog-pen, expect to get muck all over you too).
The Administration has seriously damaged its relationship...and any trust by any conservatives in the Congress. No other conservatives will consider any more such offers again.
They have been forced to the conclusion that the President's word isn't worth spit.

BINGO. And therein lies the problem.
