Porter Goss,"support the administration and its policies,"
NPR's Daniel Schorr says that a recent memo from CIA Director Porter Goss, reminding CIA staff to "support the administration and its policies," goes against the intentions of President Truman, who created the CIA in 1947. President Truman wanted the CIA to be independent of policy and politics.

1. And to think I sent Porter Goss the Barrie Zwicker video after 9/11
Barrie Zwicker's video "The Great Deception" came out soon after 9/11. My wife and I were so impressed by what Mr. Zwicker did that we purchased the video and sent it to our US Representative, who forwarded it on the Porter Goss, who was then heading up a committee looking into 9/11.

Hahahaha, the joke's on us!!! Little did we know that Goss would turn out to be a Bush whore par excellence!

Well, well, well...color me stupid! :silly:

3. "I can't believe this is our country anymore!"
Until we win it back, it is not. We are locked out and marginalized (but so are most Bu$h supporters, who are too blind to see that yet), and it will get worse.
