Perhaps you should read what the NYT correction was all about. Goss serves at the pleasure of the President. If his policies are at odds with the President chances are he wouldn't be in the position very long if he did his own thing......... NYTimes "Editors’ Note" Correction: [Nov 18, 2004] <<< A front-page article yesterday reported on an internal memorandum at the Central Intelligence Agency in which Porter J. Goss, the new chief, told employees their job was to "support the administration and its policies in our work." In some copies, the editors’ headline referred to the instruction imprecisely, saying, "Chief of C.I.A. Tells His Staff to Back Bush." In the New York region, the headline format allowed space in late editions for a more accurate summary of the article: "New C.I.A. Chief Tells Workers to Back Administration Policies." All editions should have made it clear that Mr. Goss was referring to policies and not to President Bush personally, or to his politics.[emphasis added] >>> So, the memo referred to "policies" and not Bush or his politics? Simple enough. Unfortunately, not everybody reads the NYTimes Corrections Page... NYTimes Editorial [Nov 18, 2004] <<< But it’s inappropriate for [Porter Goss] to suggest that it’s the job of the C.I.A. "to support" a particular administration and its political decisions.[emphasis added] >>> Hey, look! Bush and his politics are back on the table! Neat. Perhaps we could arrange a meeting between the "Editors’ Note" editors and the "Editorial" editors, so they can work this out. Or, perhaps they could just start reading their own paper.
