Porter Goss

I've been out of the news loop for two weeks now, so I'm finding it a little tough to comment on this, but the Washington Post is claiming that Porter Goss has already lost control of the CIA. Is that humanly possible? The guy just got there. Could it be instead that he took over a CIA that was already a complete mess, and he's culling out the weeds? Of course, the Post would never spin the story that way, not when the integrity of bureaucracy is at stake.

I had the same reaction to that news story. The CIA needs weeding if Valerie Plame is any indication of the Old Hands at the CIA. And we know from experience that the Washington Post/New York Times/Los Angeles Times do NOT have our country's best interests at stake.
