Deputy Chief Resigns from CIA
By Dana Priest and Walter Pincus
The Washington Post

Saturday 13 November 2004

Agency is said to be in turmoil under new director Goss.
The deputy director of the CIA resigned yesterday after a series of confrontations over the past week between senior operations officials and CIA Director Porter J. Goss's new chief of staff that have left the agency in turmoil, according to several current and former CIA officials.

John E. McLaughlin, a 32-year CIA veteran who was acting director for two months this summer until Goss took over, resigned after warning Goss that his top aide, former Capitol Hill staff member Patrick Murray, was treating senior officials disrespectfully and risked widespread resignations, the officials said.

Yesterday, the agency official who oversees foreign operations, Deputy Director of Operations Stephen R. Kappes, tendered his resignation after a confrontation with Murray. Goss and the White House pleaded with Kappes to reconsider and he agreed to delay his decision until Monday, the officials said.

Several other senior clandestine service officers are threatening to leave, current and former agency officials said

1. Should the citizens worry about this new CIA that is slowly forming or

should the administration worry about the CIA rebelling completely and totally... perhaps suddenly coming up with proof that the election was stolen

2. When Pincus and Priest speaks about CIA ...

They are speaking FOR those yeomen in the CIA who need an outlet ....

They speak truth: Goss is apparently too disorganized and disattached from the agency to be effective, and his people seem to be STRIGHT from the VP's office .. rude and irrational ...

3. They'd like nothing better than to see an end to the CIA so they can

install their own loyal secret services.
