Cleaning The CIA

Just one day after the Washington Post reported that the CIA was in chaos under new director Porter Goss, Newsday is now upping the ante:

"'The agency is being purged on instructions from the White House,' said a former senior CIA official who maintains close ties to both the agency and to the White House. 'Goss was given instructions ... to get rid of those soft leakers and liberal Democrats. The CIA is looked on by the White House as a hotbed of liberals and people who have been obstructing the president's agenda.'"

If true, then this is a very terrifying development. This would seem to suggest that Bush is beginning an attempt to clean government agencies of criticism, and worse, of Democrats altogether. It won't be long before homosexuals are wearing pink triangles and Democrats are wearing donkey t-shirts.
All kidding aside, this is scary stuff. These are scary times to be an American.
