All this whining about Clinton operatives in the various organs of the government. The Bush administration is going on it's 5th year and has ample opportunity to clean house. They should just just get on with it. The usual suspects will spew their hate and lies, but so what?

First you "cast the bait" then you see who takes the hook"
Think of all the leaks that have come out of CIA, then imagine IF the "facts" were exposed as fabrications and it leads us to the moles within our Intelligence Community.
Ah, I love it when a plan comes together.

“Between October 1998 and June of this year, 57 people appointed to their high positions by the White House, usually because of their ideological affinity with the president, underwent sudden, seemingly miraculous, transformations into professional civil servants, according to a General Accounting Office (GAO) study. Although not unknown during other administration changeovers, the practice of “burrowing-in” is being watched closely by some on Capitol Hill who worry not only about whether it’s unfair to career civil servants and violates merit-system protections but whether the lingering presence of such moles might not leave an indelible ideological stamp on the supposedly nonpartisan machinery of government.”
