CIA Says It Will Not Get Mixed Up in Policy

[Moloch]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The CIA (news - web sites) denied on Wednesday that its new director had told the spy agency to shape intelligence to support the policies of President Bush (news - web sites).

The agency was responding to a report in The New York Times which said CIA Director Porter Goss had told his staff to back Bush, a sharp departure for an agency that is supposed to stick to facts and stay out of policy judgments.

Critics have pointed at the resignations of some top CIA officials as a sign that Goss and his advisers who came with him from Capitol Hill were acting in a partisan manner.

2. That's right!

The CIA will not be INVOLVED -- it will merely rubber stamp Bushista policy.

3. Hey, let's do remember what agency we're talking about here:

the CIA. If the Bushistas want to make it less effective, that's all to the good.
