"Ms. McCarthy was known to be a supporter of John Kerry, not one of the Bush loyalists who could be counted on to see no evil. " Porter Goss was apparently in the habit of wanting to know the political affiliation of agents who turned in reports that were contrary to administration expectations. So Mary's firing might have had more to do with stopping an investigation into Foggo than had to do with leaks. I think we can lay to rest the rumor that she leaked the info about the secret prisons if she worked in the inspector general's office. The CIA isn't the kind of place that she would have heard about it from gossip at the water cooler. And she really didn't have any other way of finding the information out. So if Mary got canned to kill an investigation, this could be the reason why Goss so abruptly resigned. It may be that information is about to come out.

There was also the story of a Kennedy cover-up, moonlight car accident and drug abuse. Been there, done that. First, Kennedy........I don't mean to be unsympathetic when someone is struggling and is down, but this guy has had a history of problems since he was in high school. Obviously, he's got bad genes and two screwed up parents, and at least a portion of what ails him is out of his control but I know enough about addictions to know that he has a very cavalier approach to his. Given that this is not the first time he has messed up; that in fact, he has a history............I think the only fair thing to do is for him to resign his position. I don't think its fair to the people of RI to have a congressman who is in and out of addiction; in and out of rehab; in and out of depression because he lacks discipline. Am I being too harsh? But Dusty Foggo? That's a name for a spy that tops Valerie Plame, or even Valerie Flame. And when you add Dusty to Duke, you've really got something. Dusty was handpicked by Porter Goss in late 2004 to be the No. 3 C.I.A. official, astonishing many agency veterans, according to Newsweek. Dusty turns out to be a friend of a defense contractor implicated in the federal corruption investigation of the imprisoned Randy "Duke" Cunningham, a former G.O.P. congressman. The contractor, Brent Wilkes, is now entangled in allegations of louche and lewd behavior involving limos, hookers, a poker player with a missing digit from the C.I.A. nicknamed "Nine Fingers," and Watergate hospitality suites where more was offered than just Scotch and pretzels. See this is what has me worried..........all of Bush's cronies who are as inept and calculating as he is are running our federal gov't into the ground. Its just shocking after making a big stink about Tenet and the condition of the CIA Bush doesn't put in a professional. And where the hell was the media......checking the guy's credentials and raising a stink. Things are truly screwed up in this country in a way I never thought possible. I feel like we have become Belarus.
