Wasn't a CIA chief vulnerable to blackmail if he accepted prostitutes

[Inland]

from lobbyists? Or paid company of any sort? And what about Profumo?

Shouldn't Porter Goss be put in a little tiny room and questioned while every inch of his house is tossed and all parties involved questioned under that fucking Patriot Act that Bush would have at his disposal just for this sort of thing?

Is this really a sex scandal? Is it even really a lobbyist scandal? Isn't it another Bushian rolling national security fuckup?

And if not, is there still a problem with out homosexuals holding security positions?

1. YES. Anyone who opens themselves to blackmail is a security risk.

This is why philanderers, closet gays, heavy drinkers, etc. were purged from really high security positions in the Pentagon.

I guess that was then and this is now.

4. That's a real conundrum for today's GOP power elite ...

... since they (the Bushoilini's) obviously use 'the goods' on their cronies as a kind of loyalty insurance. The spirit of J. Edgar Hoover must be enjoying the regime in power.

5. Like all criminal organizations,

the knowledge of each others' crimes maintains loyalty.

6. Ahh, don't worry. I'm sure that any hookers were carefully vetted

and had all the proper security clearances.

I wonder what level of security clearance a hooker would need to have a CIA chief as a client. Certainly higher than needed for a run-of-the-mill Congresscritter. Higher than for a Congressional Chairman, or a WH staffer. We're talking inner circle, here.
