Zell Miller has a fascinating article about the CIA v. the Bush Administration. I think he makes some cogent points and it appears that the CIA sees itself as a peer to the Executive branch with it's own interests that must be served before anyone elses. Not to be hyperbolic but that's how the ISI ended up where it is today. I am not saying we're there or even headed there but it is certainly an object lesson to keep in mind. Porter Goss has made a many enemies by cleaning out the stalwarts. His supporters say he's cleaning out the dead wood and those who have become so engrossed in their areas of expertise they sympathize with them more than us. His critics say he's getting rid of highly professional and experienced people who have the wrong politics. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. Those that have not been kicked out are getting nervous and (in my estimation) have begun to leak damaging information in hopes of sinking not just Goss but Bush as well. Read the article, it's worth your time.
