Looks like Goss was selected LONG before today-
They even let him plan his own dance card way back
when!
The "Intelligence Authorization Act" is REALLY scary!
Hmmm, nothing more comforting that the thought
of it being legal for "alien agents" to now transport
military explosives, yes, HS is a real success!
"SEC. 332. MODIFICATIONS OF AUTHORITIES ON

Organization (NATO), or other friendly foreign military
force (as determined by the Attorney General with the
concurrence of the Secretary of Defense) who is present
in the United States under military orders for training or
other military purpose authorized by the United States."
Immunity for agency personnel! Yippee! Even LESS accountabilty!
SEC. 401. PROTECTION FROM TORT LIABILITY FOR
CERTAIN CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY PERSONNEL.
And...What legislation would be complete without
the ability to hire Mercenaries?
SEC. 503. AUTHORITY FOR INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY
ELEMENTS OF DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE TO AWARD
PERSONAL SERVICE CONTRACTS.
And last, but not least!
SEC. 335. PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS FOR CENTRAL
INTELLIGENCE AGENCY RELATING TO PRODUCTS OF
FEDERAL PRISON INDUSTRIES.
Cause lord knows, Prison Industries is really relevant to
Intelligence.
The world has gone mad.
