Anyways did it occur to anyone that perhaps the men being removed were the ones who were responsible for letting the 9/11 hijackers slip past the radar, or even more likely the ones who screwed up the WMD data on Iraq?
Perhaps it is not 'democrats and liberals' but 'incompetent agents' who are being removed and they in turn are spreading the idea its political like a typical disgruntled employee?
A few months ago no one posting about this being so awful would have had a single positive thing to say about the CIA, but now, after the dreaded 'L' word has been invoked, the CIA agents are just innocent victims of Bush's plans.
Does anyone think the CIA has done a good job in the last 12 years?

I truly hope you are right, but if this is a directive from the administration, we have no reason to believe that these are people who screwed up. Bush is less concerned about competency and accuracy than he is about conformity and loyalty. As an example I present Stephen J. Hadley, our new National Security Advisor. Mr. Hadley co-wrote a completely overblown report on Iraq's WMD capabilities for Powell's UN Speech. He heavily promoted the Iraq-Qaeda Link and began pushing to include the claim that Mohamed Atta met with Iraqi officials, in Powell's appearance before the U.N. Security Council a week after the State of the Union speech. He bungled Post-War Planning in Iraq while heading the committee to evaluate the effects of removing Saddam Hussein. Mr. Hadley inserted "Uranium from Niger" Lie in Bush's State of the Union Speech and the list could go on. Hadley has served as Deputy National Security Advisor, and due to his exemplary service, has been promoted. So it seems clear that Bush is out to oust those who are responsible for 9-11 and the poor inteligence that has plagued the Iraq war and indeed this entire presidency.
