CIA Needs Shaking Up

This story is from the Inside the Ring column at Washington Times:

We asked Dan Gallington, who once was chief counsel to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, to discuss whether the CIA's bureaucracy is working against President Bush's policies in the war on al Qaeda. "I wouldn't say they are anti-Bush as much as to say they generally support the more conciliatory policy positions of the State Department bureaucracy," Mr. Gallington said. "Even though CIA is not a policy organization, they actively participate in influencing national security policy. "I would say it seems clear that the leaks out of the CIA in recent years are both substantively, and in timing, seem intended to embarrass the president." He said a "purge" is the answer for a leak-weary Bush administration. "It's already under way," he said.

This is good and I hope its a complete purge.
