Personal and political feuding at CIA headquarters is turning into a soap opera. Morale has declined for months as CIA chief Porter Goss has purged senior managers and critics have assailed the agency for fumbling intelligence on Al Qaeda and unconventional weapons in Iraq. And last week frustrations at Langley, Va., boiled over as career spies lobbed broadsides against Goss's stewardship.
Maybe this is how the Bush adminstraion is battling big government. By attrition. He just appoints the worst possible person to head the agency and then sits back and watches while it self-destructs. Brilliant, and evil!
Wait did I just call it "brilliant"? Well then Bush cannot be orchestrating this, it must be Cheney or Rove. In my opinion Bush is the Inspector Clouseau of this administration. He is harmless unless supported by his evil cohorts.
you mentioned Cheney in the evil club- don't forget Bolton and Rummy..or Condi....But remember Dick and Rummy most likely have the MOST history with each other- under numerous administrations....way back....
ReplyDeleteI did like your theory about hiring the worst old managers and watching people flee ( attrition..) ...kind of like re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic....
