The deputy director of the CIA resigned yesterday after a series of confrontations over the past week between senior operations officials and CIA Director Porter J. Goss's new chief of staff that have left the agency in turmoil, according to several current and former CIA officials.

Now here is a real surprise!!!

How do pissed off CIA agents get even?

The good stuff. Really good stuff. The stuff that leads to indictments. And other things.

....and neither finished their current terms. They were JFK and Nixon.

The rank-and-file is getting tired of waiting.

Think about it.

Religion with a capital R and Belief with a capital B in what priests tell you are a terrible things. The promise of Eternal Paradise in Heaven, if believed, upsets the rational calculus by which a man scared of violent death and desirous of commodious living signs the Social Contract and bends his neck to the Sovereign Leviathan. Thus religious fanaticism--in Hobbes's case the Roundheads who shot out the stained-glass windows of Canterbury Cathedral for target practice, or the followers of Archbishop Laud who were willing to kill to move the communion table up to the back of the church--breeds large-scale death and destruction.

Spinless Senate. They knew...We knew..but as usual they give the Chimp everything. He will never get enough rope to hang himself but he will see us all go down.

again. that nazi Goss will gut them and purge them and demote them. They need to gather together and go public. tell the truth and let the chips fall where they may. the security of our nation is at stake. The CIA guy named anonymous who wrote that book is resigning after 22 years and will be on the tube over the next few days. watch for him.

Now we know why.

It's out of our hands now. Let's just sit back and watch the show, and hope the next terrorist attack is in one of the red states.

How dare professional career agents stand up to a politician and the politician's chief of staff. How dare they say 'well, this is how we did in in the House of Representatives!'.

Quitting, well that's just great. An opportunity for Goss to put in a puppet. Why don't these guys release some of the stuff I've seen, like the picture of Goss with frigging Bobby Seal. I mean, seriously, what are they waiting for?

Corporate America controls the media and we get manufactured news.
Corporate America now controls the voting machines and we get manufactured elections.

thought attainable. Yet people cheer on this administration like they can't wait to go down with the ship.

so they are Useless to him!!!

if you gave him a blue dress, then they will have an investigation.

to bring this administration down. Why won't they do it?

When do you know things are not good? Well here's an exemplary passage -

...

Yesterday, Murray told the associate deputy director of counterintelligence that if anything in the newly appointed executive director's personnel file made it into the media, the counterintelligence official "would be held responsible," according to one agency official and two former colleagues with knowledge of the conversation.

...

and the chickens will come home to roost within the next 2 years.

... I haven't been able to get through all day.

I wouldn't get all dewy eyed about the CIA. The problem it presents to the Pentagon neo-cons is that it is an independent source of power as an institution. Goss thinks he's going to become some sort of player by selling out the agency. He's dreaming as so many Brownshirts did during Hitler's rise. Not that he won't succeed in reducing the agency's stature. His very appointment does that because he is incompetent at everything except covering up treason and blunders. With this administration covering up such matters is a full time job.

The agency played a role in 911, and it's performance has been all but diastrous in Iraq. Nevertheless, it represents something still that can't be completely subdued by the Pentagon war profiteering management as the center of total power. Therefore, it will be beaten into subservience. It's prior lack of responsiveness was viewed as a rightest trojan horse in democratic administrations. Now it's characteristically unconstitutional off budget independence is regarded as a threat to those who seek total power.
