Porter Goss' initial moves as CIA director appear to herald a postelection purge at the troubled spy agency, according to current and former top U.S. intelligence officials.
Goss, a Republican former congressman, has put at least four former Capitol Hill Republican staffers into top positions in his CIA office and given them broad authority to make personnel and restructuring decisions, the current and former intelligence officials said.
One of the aides, whose identity is not being disclosed because he served under cover, has been "going around telling people they are to fire 80 to 90 people" in the Directorate of Operations, the CIA's covert arm, according to a former official.
.... One intelligence official said Goss and his aides had let it be known there would be no repeat of what happened this summer when a senior CIA counterterrorism specialist published a book, with the agency's approval, charging that Bush administration policies - especially the invasion of Iraq - have enraged the Islamic world and created recruits for al-Qaeda.
The book, Imperial Hubris: Why the West is Losing the War on Terror, was published under the pseudonym Anonymous.
"There will be no more Imperial Hubris books," said the intelligence official. "The word is out: The place is under lockdown."
