( Congressman) Kirk Admits C.I.A. Connection
Mark Kirk (Republican, 10th District – Illinois) admitted on the floor of Congress that he has been working for the Central Intelligence Agency at the same time he is serving in Congress.

Lee Goodman, Kirk’s Democratic opponent, called for Kirk’s resignation from Congress. “The conflict of interest is blatant and appalling,” said Goodman. “Congress has been struggling to investigate intelligence failures by the CIA and now it turns out Kirk is working for the CIA. No wonder Kirk voted not to investigate these failures after 9/11. He is working for the people who didn’t want to be investigated. Any high-schooler who has studied the separation of powers in U.S. history class would recognize the problem.”

2. How many other Congress critters work for CIA?
It's worse than double-dipping.

3. Geez. Kirk is protecting the NeoCons FIRST, not the CIA...
Voting against investigating 911 had NOTHING to do with Kirk also working for the CIA. Kirk's FIRST allegiance is to the NeoCons and doing everything he could to protect THEM from the 911 investigation.

Additionally, if Goodman and some of the posters on this board would do some MINIMAL research, they would discover that "intelligence failures" were not the cause of the attacks on 911. The CIA was delivering the correct intelligence to the White House to include the now infamous August intelligence estimate. But, the White House was listening exclusively to the NeoCon, Pentagon-based OSP.

When the heck are people going to get this story straight??
