Will Goss get a medal of freedom?

I doubt if anyone is shedding any tears over the resignation today of Porter Goss as CIA director. President Bush described Goss’ term as a transition. That’s true. But Goss was more than just a placeholder at an agency hurt by intelligence failures and a torture scandal in Iraq. Goss also replaced some top CIA experts with GOP politicos. And most recently, he has been trying to track down the person who leaked to the media the existence of secret prisons (but hasn’t seemed very upset about the administration leaking the name of one of the CIA’s undercover agents).

    Bush has corrupted the entire United States government.

    Also he should be dragged to the Hague and stand for the War-crimes he has committed.

    Bush is more than just “the worst president ever,” he should hanged for treason.

    My take is it is gonna get better and better raptor. I don’t think your side has seen the beginning of “worse” yet.

    I sympathize in a way. It sucks for some people who have been so loyal to their pResident to have that loyalty so badly used. They should be angrier than folks who DIDN’T vote for him.

    No, to get the Medal of Freedom, he’d have to actively participate in the October Surprise!

    Goss was a transition, a transition from rank by merit, to rank by political loyalty.
