Top spies threaten to leave the fold over CIA reform

[emad]

The Times
From Roland Watson in Washington


THE CIA’s top spies are on the brink of revolt seven weeks after the arrival of President Bush’s new Director. ..........................

.....Stephen Kappes, the deputy director of operations, is expected to announce his resignation today.

Morale is said to be worse than at any time in the past 25 years and former CIA officials are giving warning that the bad blood at the agency’s Langley headquarters in Virginia could cause the organisation to take its eye off the ball at a critical time. The CIA is at the forefront of American efforts to end the Iraqi insurgency, tracking al-Qaeda threats around the world and helping to prevent the return of the Taleban in Afghanistan. ..........

The CIA is one of the most effective leakers of information, even by Washington standards, and the weekend newspapers have been amply supplied with the grievances of officials with the new regime.

4. No suprise

As the new gloss/beria purge continues, they'll be completely
responsible for the mess. The fun thing about this bush
administration is watching them destroy everything AND take
responsiblility for making the mess. If the dems can stay out
of the way, the pukes will be unelectable for decades afterwards.

I hope the concentration camps have air conditioning,
I hate the heat.

6. I did a doubletake at this revelation...

"...Mr Kostiw had been forced to leave the CIA 20 years ago after being arrested for stealing a packet of bacon."

Say huh?
