Welcome to the third world. WASHINGTON -- The White House has ordered the new CIA director, Porter Goss, to purge the agency of officers believed to have been disloyal to President George W. Bush or of leaking damaging information to the media about the conduct of the Iraq war and the hunt for Osama bin Laden, according to knowledgeable sources.
Newsday reports:
"The agency is being purged on instructions from the White House," said a former senior CIA official who maintains close ties to both the agency and to the White House. "Goss was given instructions ... to get rid of those soft leakers and liberal Democrats. The CIA is looked on by the White House as a hotbed of liberals and people who have been obstructing the president's agenda."
These are more the actions of a generalissimo after a coup than a president after an election. Hey George -- why not purge the people who gave you bogus information? Oh, that's right -- that was the bogus information you asked for.
Good luck with your new coverups.

Notice it says disloyal to Bush, not disloyal to America. "Loyalty at all costs! Heil Bush!"

That's exactly what's wrong with this. Disloyalty to America? Those people should go out the door! But disloyalty to a temporary political figure? If all presidents did this, we'd have complete turnover at the CIA every 4 to 8 years -- which helps no one, especially the American people.

Disloyalty to the White House = disloyalty to America.
Didn't you know that? It's the post-9/11 mindset. Everyone is so worried about being un-patriotic that they become nationalistic instead. I'm becoming convinced that this is a new McCarthy era. It won't be until forty years from now that anyone realizes how bad this all is. No one will try to make it right until some future President finally makes official apologies for what is being done right now, just like Clinton finally apologized to Japanese Americans interred in WWII.
Hi, Rob! John Beeler here. I think we're on the same side of this issue as my blog will show you. http://aconservativesiteforpeace.info
John! It's good to hear from you! Thanks for stopping by, and thanks especially for posting a link to your blog. I'll take a look at it once I get home from work tonight. I hope things are going well for you.
