Replacing the CIA with John Negroponte

Post by R00k »

Wonderful news Mr. Emperor, I mean President

A new White House memo excludes CIA director Porter Goss from National Security Council meetings

The biggest changes in Washington often come about with just a few strokes of the pen. And so a dry, one-page internal memo quietly issued by the White House is being viewed as a kind of eulogy for the once mighty Central Intelligence Agency. After nearly 60 years at the pinnacle of American intelligence—and at the elbow of Presidents—the CIA director is no longer automatically welcome at the President's National Security Council (NSC) meetings. John Negroponte, the new director of National Intelligence, has taken his chair.
Can it be any more obvious that a full-blown coup of our government is, for all practical purposes, complete?

Republicons are on a mission to remove the other party from the political process entirely. They have already taken control of the executive and legislative branches, they already control 7 out of the 10 federal appeals courts in the country for the judicial branch, and they have been forcing lobbying groups to fire liberal employees if they want to get legislation.

i think the bush family learned from hitlers mistakes...covert fascism works best...
a defining attribute of a government is that it has a monopoly on the legitimate exercise of violence...

I guess crippeling the CIA by making sure only yes-men have a future there wasn't enough.

So let me get this right...to improve security we need to give up some of our rights and then turn our backs on the CIA?

Wasn't Negroponte Reagan's man in Honduras who ran terror squads? He doesn't seem to be very popular in Central America.

Yea that's him. And 'infamous' is probably a better word for his reputation down there.
