1. W: what this country needs is more secrecy with spying and stuff
Edited on Tue Aug-10-04 08:59 AM by cosmicdot
... to deal with all the terror and tumult coming out of this White House ... we need someone old skool; someone who knows the CIA inside and out ... Baker suggested Poppy's old CIA buddy, Porter, born in Connecticut and graduate of Yale just like me ... someone who we don't think remembers where he was when JFK got shot either ... with a name like Porter, he must be a good ol'boy ... so, he's perfect for us Bushies ...

5. I say anyone who has accumulated $53 million from punching the ol' CIA
clock must know what he's doing ... bring him on ...

Once C.I.A.- Always C.I.A.
Examining the history of Porter Goss makes me wonder “Just how many politicians are on the C.I.A. payroll? (How did he manage to accumulate $53 million on his salary?) Did Goss actually use his dark C.I.A. past or connections to win elections? How many people would knowingly vote for a C.I.A. operative who had a hand in dirty tricks in Haiti, Santo Domingo, and Western Europe, who first worked for Army Intelligence? Looking at his pro-Bush, pro-Cheney record and his advocacy in Haiti, South America<1> and his work towards increasing the budget/power of the C.I.A.- especially the elevation of the Director to a cabinet post to become an Intelligence Czar with control over a $40,000,000 budget, concerns me. He believes in “political assassinations,”<2> exemplified by Operation Phoenix which killed thousands in Vietnam, and the Death squads so pervasive amongst U.S. trained military juntas installed in Central and Latin America.

Nevermind his close relationship with the “Money Man” behind 9/11 (the term was coined by the F.B.I.), the Head of Pakistani Intelligence, Lt. General Mahmoud Ahmad who had $100,000 wired to Mohamed Atta, alleged ringleader/pilot behind the September 11th attacks. Surely one must wonder about this relationship, and why the U.S. quietly urged the retirement of Lt. General Mahmoud Ahmad when this information was revealed to the press. However, the official Inquiry and the official 9/11 Commission avoided asking any questions that might thoroughly incriminate them and the White House personally in the attacks.
