#1 Let's keep a weather eye out for more on this story, but in the meantime the 48-hour rule holds.

#2 Wasn't Kappes also mixed up with Yellowcake and Cheesecake? Frankly, I'd love to see Obumble & Co give the company the Chicago tgreatment as long as not real ops are revealed and the agency is in tatters after he and deadfish are done.

#3 CIA Deputy Director Stephen R. Kappes, who has had a role in overseeing most of the agency's counter-terrorism efforts since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, is scheduled to retire in May and will be replaced by Michael Morell, a career analyst, CIA officials said Wednesday

#4 IF the NY Times does this, next years Congress should keep the following words in mind:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court. The Congress shall have power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.

#6 How many years have I been telling folks here at the Burg that the CIA is dysfunctional and needs to be torn apart and rebuilt from the ground up?

Empire builders and Silo kingdoms under the command of ass covering blanket-folders have rotted the CIA. DoD is the effective Ops arm anymore, which is why the careerists at Langley are doing stupid treasonous stuff like this.

#8 I wonder how the intel ident protection act works for the DOD ops? Are they covered or just the OGA guys. This really sucks and I bet there are a lot of really great American holding their breath tonight. The next step will be for the left to file war crime or human right violations on them. "They took part in or gave information that got innocent civs killed" Down that lethal finding road they will go. OS is right. Tear down the headquarters, flush out the rats an start over.

#9 It would seem that the folks that the NYT are allegedly about to turn are not the kind of guys you want mad at you. Especially if they know where you work.
