Porter Goss, please clean house. We are tired of Agency leakers using the press to air their grievances.

The Washington Post, once again hoping to make the world a safer place for terrorists. Fair play for Al-Qaeda, you know, it's only sporting.

I agree that the timing is suspect. whoever leaked this "secret" should be offered the option of blindfold or not.

The only thing secret is their sources.

What do they expect the CIA to do. Put them up in a plush hotel with room service and those fancy new beds all the hotels are getting?

I'm sure the MSM will call for an investigation of the leak--not.

And I suppose the next thing they'll be "leaking" is that this just started with the Bush Administration.

I can see why we need that shield law. So that we can protect those who engage in espionage against the US.

Can we just investigate the entire CIA? We obviously have people in there working AGAINST us, not for us.
