#1 If you were a foreign national, would you trust putting your life & familie's life into the hands of an American intel officer?

because alot depends on the agent, or his cut out, we need the best people.

The puzzle factory.

#2 "Hundreds of years of leadership and experience has walked out the door in the last year." GOOD RIDDENCE! Hopefully a lot more of the Liberal vanguard will get a clue and leave.

#3 If it's still in turmoil, more heads need to be lopped.

#5 I agree. If they are still squealing more heads need to roll. FYI most of those that have quit are not agents; they are middle and upper management. That is where they cause the most trouble. They guide policy and the direction that we target our intelligence assets. They also hold the all-important purse strings of operations. If only 100 of the management has quit Goss need to get cracking.

#6 "RUMINT" has it that under Bush I and accelerated the trend under Clinton, DO became a warehouse for Ivy League liberals and thier cronies and the bootlickers their sort attracts. Its all CYA for that bunch, depending on national technical means instead of hard fieldcraft, management instead of risk, paperwork and budget instead of inventiveness and daring.

You stick your head up, it gets hammered down by the "old boys" club.

Goss is going to be a long time fighting this one. I've said as much, many times.

#7 Do you still have confidence Goss will do it? I have the sense I'd prefer to have seen something a bit more ruthless and rapid.
