Why does this not shock me?
For months now the CIA has been held up to ridicule and frankly every time it comes to my view on news seems more and more like the GONG SHOW (remember it?) than a serious national agency dedicated to serving the American nation as its first line of defense.

So another one bites the dust, and yet mind you more to come, and oh well it still should be a civilian agency since everyone remembers that IT WAS MARX THAT SAID THAT QUOTE 'MILITARY INTELLIGENCE IS A CONTRADITON IN TERMS.' So why President Bush nominated a military man who knows, maybe he wanted to keep the 'gong show image' of the CIA going.
PITY, given the work the agency has done for the well being of the nation.

CIA is going out of business. The Union can't protect them anymore and Goss wouldn't do it, so it's going to be the military.

I'm going to read 'Terrorism, Chapter 11 Style.'

This administration and cohorts are even more corrupt that I thought. Is there no end to this? I predict that before and after 01-20-09, there will be a lot more disclosures of others high up in government breaking the law. I think GWB and DC (and C. Rice, C. Rove, etal) should be on the list as well. It is criminal what has been done to our country. The Republicans have destroyed what was a very healthy economy, allowed destruction of nature, put the tax burden on the poor and middle class, lied over and over again, were aware of the abuse in the prison camps and have just done a horrible job so-called governing.

Is there anything the Bush administration hasn't broken? They've broken the budget, the State Department, prescription drugs, Iraq, the Geneva Conventions, numerous treaties, New York, New Orleans, FEMA, the CIA, FISA, and damn near broken the military. Nuts to the $10 billion missing in Iraq, or the hookers at Watergate, these guys should be up on charges just for sheer incompetence.

If Foggo didn't see any prostitutes, perhaps he was blindfolded....

Maybe your readers need to look inward before throwing stones. Porter Goss was President Clinton's one and only choice for DCI if he had to replace George Tenet. Now General Hayden is a well known and well respected individual within the U.S. Intelligence Community with very credible foreign policy experience. In addition while his management of the Defense Intelligence Agency has not made headlines that is normally a good thing, right? There have not been scandals or missuse of authority during his tenure.

Or maybe he couldn't tell them apart from the other Republican congressmen in the room?

I suspect they were using this operation to blackmail members of Congress and Goss was in on it so naturally never showed up at them. Where are the cameras? Did they check the rooms for signs of the rigging? This sounds like more than a party on the tax payers dollar. My, I am not the trusting type..

"Now General Hayden is a well known and well respected individual within the U.S. Intelligence Community..."

NSA whistleblower, Tice, has not described Hayden so kindly. Accusations of 2 billion in a wasted project. Other accusations which are starting to surface.
