CIA Director Goss targeting leaks

NEW YORK: CIA Director Porter Goss is redoubling efforts to stop information leaks among staff members.

Time Magazine reports that at staff meetings last week, CIA managers at the agency's Langley, Va., headquarters told employees the leaking was out of control and needed to stop.

"They're exercised about it and are trying to do what they can to clamp down," a former senior CIA official told Time.

Goss is also concerned about the potential effects of books written by those with inside knowledge of agency operations. Citing the book "Jawbreaker," written by a former CIA field commander who hunted for Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan, and the movie "Syriana," based on a retired CIA officer's book, an intelligence official says part of the worry is a possible "chilling effect" on both U.S. and foreign intelligence officials.

6. Well, the Bush Administration and the cronies could stop the leaks just

by not being so corrupt.

This is their fault for requiring citizenship classes. For some of us, the lessons stuck. We know what it means to be a good American versus a corrupt one.

7. How hard could it be to track down a bunch of spies?

Good luck on that Porter. We know that you are already "overwhelmed" (gee wonder how that helped out our enemies) and since you don't have a clue as to what you are doing anyway this can't be but so hard huh?

8. Jawbreaker is milktoast...

it doesn't even hamper the War on Terra for one bit... Well, frankly, I haven't read the book, but Gary Berntsen is all for Bush but thinks he "failed" in Afghanistan, according to an interview I heard...
