Goss is shoveling as fast as he can — but it may not be enough

Baer was told no Dari or Pashtun linguists were available, but headquarters would send out a four person briefing team to explain the agency's new policy on sexual harassment.

It's like New Orleans. Hundreds of volunteers want to rescue hurricane victims -- but first: days of training on sexual harassment. The thing is like a cancer.

Thanks for posting this. I've been wondering what has been going on at CIA post Goss. After all the initial noise, it has gotten quiet and I was hoping Goss was quietly "shoveling away."

near the end of the article it mentions, "...but we can send you a team of four to discuss our sexual harassment policies." What is happening in Washington the firefighters going to hurricane asistance are sent to a SH class? Why do so many people need to sign off on SH classes and how darn many people are teaching these classes? Is sexual harassment so common in DC that this stuff is neccessary to protect agencies?

Maybe instead of a shovel, Goss should try using a backhoe.

Haliburton must have a no bid contract to give sexual harassment classes.

Would that be the Caterpillar SDPS2005 model where SDPS stands for Sooper Dooper Pooper Scooper? 8^)
