Goss cleaning up the CIA, will State be next?
Once again, it becomes clear that CIA Director Porter Goss is making significant progress in reforming the dysfuntional agency. David Ignatius, a columnist for the Washington Post launches a full-frontal assault on the new boss, likely gathering his information from the disgruntled leakers he has been relying on several years.
Ignatious declares that the "Gosslings" have driven out "a half-dozen top officers, most recently the DO's [Directorate of Operations] No. 2 official, 35-year veteran Robert Richer."
He goes on to write that White House officials have warned Goss to "clip the wings of the head Gossling, his chief of staff, Patrick Murray. Goss should heed that advice before even more officers quit in disgust at the political meddling." There's the key. Goss and his staff that he brought with him from Capitol Hill are cleaning out the political operatives at the agency that have been working against the Bush administration since getting the blame for not preventing the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
Again, I am reluctant to make predictions about the CIA leak probe, but I think at some point if there are indictments handed down, the activities of the group over at Langley that actively opposed the President's policy toward Iraq and tried to defeat him in the 2004 election will be exposed. Some of that was already brought to the surface as the result of the Senate Intelligence Committee's report last year that confirmed the INR document that proved Valerie Plame put up her husband for the mission to Niger and that Joe Wilson lied about that and his report to the CIA.
