It's getting worse.
1. First, CIA Director Porter Goss suddenly resigned without a public explanation.
2. Hours later, the CIA's Executive Officer (#3 guy) Kyle "Dusty" Foggo, resigned.
3. The Director of National Intelligence's top deputy, General Michael Hayden, is tapped by President Bush as the next CIA Director.
4. Criticism arises due to the fact that Hayden is in the Army, possibly making him a 'pointman' for the SecDef.
5. Gen. Hayden said he may resign his post if he's confirmed by the Senate.
6. The NSA is now monitoring tens of millions of calls across the country, and General Hayden oversaw it.
7. "Dusty" Foggo was issued a search warrant by the FBI for his home & CIA office.
Dusty Foggo apparently has connections to the same Defense Contractor which Cal. Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham was involved with, and ultimately went to jail over. So far, at least, I assume his resignation had to do with this issue, not anything having to do with the NSA or anything else.
It's getting nasty. The CIA has suddenly been engulfed in scandal, which is not what it needs right now. Maybe the government needs to "reboot" the CIA, like they're going to do with FEMA. After all, it's just a government agency. It's not like it has any public respect, anyway.
