Larisa Alexandrovna (Huffington Post): The Executive's Henchmen Ride Again


From The Huffington Post
Dated Saturday April 22



The Executive's Henchmen Ride Again
By Larisa Alexandrovna

Edward R. Murrow once said: "No one can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices."

CIA Director Porter Goss - who in all of my conversations with intelligence officers has only ever been described as a criminal and "Cheney's boy," fired a whistleblower last night for exposing the inhumanity and extreme cruelty of this administration.

The concept of "national security" is not remotely of interest to Goss, Cheney, Bush or any other member of this corrupt and twisted administration. In order to fully care about national security, one would be required to care first. And this administration has proved over and over that it has no care for the citizens of this nation, the soldiers serving this nation, the intelligence officers working to protect this nation, the laws of this nation, the Congress of this nation, the Judiciary of this nation, and in general for anything outside of its own wretched power lust and greed frenzy.

Consider that this career officer may have at one time or another been covert, although not currently. The CIA never publicly fires employees, covert or otherwise, for this very reason. Moreover, everyone I have spoken with says this is the first case they know of where an officer was fired for leaking to the press. So why is Goss so eager to publicly expose this career officer who had recently served in the inspector general's office as well as on the National Security Council?

bending over for bush family black ops and one of cheney's (waterboy for bush family empire)slaves for so long he'll do anything for them-and has, over&over again.

3. That's Tenet who really bends over for Bush
SO the CIA takes the fall for "intelligence failures"?

Tenet may be the first person to have been given the Presidential Medal of Freedom by having it rammed up his ass with a shaft.
