#1 Well, we've had about a half decade since 9/11. I assume that's been pretty much pissed away?

#2 Maybe the CIA can hire that Iraqi-American kid who infiltrated Baghdad on his own, well maybe he used his folks $ to do it...

#3 I still am up for closing the CIA down and putting under the DOD. The these leaks would have real punishment meeted out.

#4 CIA may need decade to rebuild clandestine service

Oh, you mean one outside the US designed to destablize a government other than the elected one seated in Washington.

#5 As Howard Dean testified before the 9-11 Commission; that after many years of seeing their fellow officers chastized and hauled up before some board or commission for anything that may possibly appear questionable by the MSM, only those who are extremely risk adverse have survived and been promoted into the senior cadre. Any aggresive goal oriented officer is viewed as a threat to the "status quo" by the senior cadre. Who at this point in their careers simply want to draw their pay and do as little as possible until they retire. With many years of seniority on their side, these older officers have banded together in resentment toward the efforts of Porter Goss to reorganize and re-activate the organization as directed by the President. Many of the senior officers have established strong ties with powerful people over the years. If they are able to use this influence to reject and remove Porter Goss; the organization will, without doubt, continue on as the vast stagnate and ineffective "quagmire" for untold billions and billions of taxpayers hard earned dollars.
