#1 This article would be a lot better if it were referring to a former employee. This guy is a jerk either way. If true why didn't he say so at the time instead of now? Just a future ex-employee trying to negotiate a beter severance package.

#3 "diverting to his own use monies provided him for payment to human assets."

Doesn't matter - press will eat it up and if it becomes obvious that he is crooked, they will ignore it.

#4 I think all these allegations needs to investigated. In turn, if this guy has an alterive motive then he needs to be prosecuted. It is not good for the future leadership of this country to have these allegations lingering around. If the American people can't trust our CIA, FBI, Nxx's, then we have a major problem. Porter Goss cleaning house is definitely a good start.

#6 Was this the same operative that provided intel to the Russian, French, German, and British intelligence offices that came to the same conclusion that Iraq probably had WMD? Need to expand the number of collection points fellows.

#7 The CIA's war against Bush continues apace. Time to accelerate that purge, Mr. Goss.

#8 Yeah, NO WMDS IN IRAQ = NO WMDS IN IRAN = NO WMDS IN NORTH KOREA...SYRIA...CUBA...AFRICA...LOWER AMERICAS.....@, even iff several or many world INTEL services andor UNO Resolutions, etc. say otherwise!? War for Socialism-Communism-OWG = meritorious state/region-specific defense against America and only America, as honest injun and equalist as the pro-Communism and pro-anti-American Clintons being what they are UNILATERALLY, UNCONDITIONALLY, and UNDENIABLY justifies absolute belief that it was America and Dubya that conspired for 9-11 and the resultant "unjust' "immoral" "illegal" war against Islamic states, where absolutely obeying the UNO and world community = absolutely disobeying the same. THE FAILED LEFT'S BIGGEST, ULTIMATE, ALL-ENCOMPASSING SINGLE JUSTIFICATION FOR SUPERGOVT AND SUPER-REGULATION IS ITS OWN PRO-DEMOCRACY = ANTI-DEMOCRACY,.......et al. LOGIC AND ACTIONS.

#9 And even iff these did have WMDS, they don't threaten Dubya and America because we're all, directly or indirectly, Republicans and Rightists anyways whom under CLINTONISM and CLINTONIAN NATIONAL UNITARIANISM are SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, still deserving of destruction.

#11 Joseph, you sound like very pissed. Fortunately, the only Clinton's agenda seems that was to get mostly some suction rather than any action to endow a collectivistic paradise. I was worried. But luckily, the providence had mercy on us.
All things considered, it could have been all worse.

#12 How can the President have any confidence in anything coming out of this agency? Wrong on fall of SU, wrong on first Gulf War, wrong on ObL, wrong on Saddam's WMD, and through all this, practically blind in the middle east.

Really, why is it not better to shut it down and start over? Can't a hard core of trusted, hand-picked good officers be housed in another agency while the re-building takes place?
