I smell a phony story here. If Bush forced him out, why the warm sendoff? I dont recall Paul O'Neill getting that.
Moreover, the tumultwas a sign of Goss' effectiveness at rooting out the troublemakers. Stuck pigs squeal.
Consider the authors of this..it's pure B.S.
I was thinking the same thing. I was wondering if perhaps the press and the leakers have mis-underestimated the situation.
Goss was specifically sent to crack heads, knowing it would be a short tenure, his sucessor then makes nice and rebuilds. Bad Cop - Good Cop routine on the CIA.
This is undoubtedly a LIE through and through.
