Top leaders of CIA's clandestine service resign
CNN Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Steven Kappes and Michael J. Sulick, the top leaders of the CIA's directorate of operations, resigned Monday morning, sources told CNN. The directorate of operations is the agency's clandestine service.

Kappes took over from James Pavitt, who left in August.

Deputy Director John McLaughlin, who ran the agency after Director George Tenet resigned earlier this year, announced his retirement Friday. He said he was leaving for personal reasons.

Michael Scheuer, the former head of the CIA's search for al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, quit Thursday.

Top Republican lawmakers (Frist) voiced support for new CIA Director Porter Goss on Sunday after the resignations.

"The aggressiveness with which we will continue to fight the war on terror for freedom and liberty and democracy throughout the world will not be affected in any way by any sort of personnel changes here or any sort of reorganization of the intelligence functions of entities here," said Frist, a Republican from Tennessee.

Sen. John McCain, an Arizona Republican, called the CIA "a dysfunctional agency, and in some ways a rogue agency" that needed to be reformed. He accused some CIA insiders of leaking information to damage President Bush politically in the months before the election. "Porter Goss is on the right track," McCain said on ABC's "This Week."

The CIA "is not providing the intelligence information necessary for the president to conduct the war on terror," he said.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, said the CIA "failed this country" with incorrect assessments of Iraq's weapons programs before the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003.

"I'm not worried about hurting people's feelings," said Graham, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee. "I want to stand behind those who work hard. But if you got it wrong, you need to be dealt with."

Amazing... he just quits/gets fired. Just how much of a shit eater does one have to be? Let's see...

Colin stayed around to help an evil regime take over the US government. Then because he hates these evil pricks who ruined his career and made him lie to the entire world... he quits.

A no confidence vote.


Personally, Uncle Toms like Colin Powell don't impress me at all.

Purge ordered at CIA

Sources say White House has told new chief 'get rid' of staffers who were disloyal to president

By KNUT ROYCE
WASHINGTON BUREAU
"The agency is being purged on instructions from the White House," said a former senior CIA official who maintains close ties to both the agency and to the White House. "Goss was given instructions ... to get rid of those soft leakers and liberal Democrats. The CIA is looked on by the White House as a hotbed of liberals and people who have been obstructing the president's agenda."

Uh huh. Is that supposed to mean something?

You present it as if this memo contradicts the subject of this thread. The memo does not.

So what's your point? Just dieing to blame something on liberals?

"In a memo e-mailed to CIA staff Monday, Goss set out what he called "the rules of the road."

"We support the administration, and its policies, in our work as agency employees," he said. "We do not identify with, support or champion opposition to the administration or its policies."
Frelling insane crap. Nazis!

I can understand that. Son of immigrants, coming from a poor family in New York, struggling to college on a scholarship, rising to the highest post in the American Armed Forces, serving with distiction in war and peace, rising to the highest post ever held by an African American, Secretary of State and 4th in line to the Presidency.

Just another 'house ni**er' to you. Just like Rice.

No amount of education or achievment in their chosen field and political affiliation will ever change the fact that you see them that way. You may not wear a white sheet, but I bet you'd fit one really well.
