Okay, I was hoping not to post half a dozen items today, but my friends keep sending stuff in. (Maybe they should post things here!)

Here’s a Newsday article about Bush purging the CIA.

The White House has ordered the new CIA director, Porter Goss, to purge the agency of officers believed to have been disloyal to President George W. Bush or of leaking damaging information to the media about the conduct of the Iraq war and the hunt for Osama bin Laden, according to knowledgeable sources.

“The agency is being purged on instructions from the White House,” said a former senior CIA official who maintains close ties to both the agency and to the White House. “Goss was given instructions … to get rid of those soft leakers and liberal Democrats. The CIA is looked on by the White House as a hotbed of liberals and people who have been obstructing the president’s agenda.”

As Marcy said in response to this: “Since when has the CIA been considered a hotbed of liberalism? This says a lot about the administration!”

THIS JUST IN (Again):

Leave it to The Onion to get it right every time.
