Bush And The CIA

There’s a fascinating article here about the ongoing movement to clean up the CIA by new director Porter Goss. Since this began, the number of leaks from the CIA has dropped dramatically. Why? Because those who were more interested in using their position at the CIA to play the Washington power politics game are being pushed out. Goss is attempting to break the bureaucratic mindset that hinders effective and original intelligence work. So far he seems to have gotten rid of many of the loudmouths, but will he be able to improve the efficiency of the agency? Time will tell — such a change is likely to only be noticable over a span of years.
