Spy Valerie And The Rogue CIA

by James Lewis - July 18th, 2005 - The American Thinker

Hold on to your hat. The plot is about to thicken.

Behind the scenes, the single most important reason for the Valerie Plame/Joe Wilson farce is that CIA Director Porter Goss has finally started to clean house at Langley.

Goss's long-overdue shake-up is clearly backed by the White House, the top levels of the Pentagon and State Department, and the new National Director of Intelligence, John Negroponte.

Now this would be interesting and could well explain the attacks from Joe Wilson and, indirectly, from the CIA department his wife works for. James Lewis certainly make a persuasive case. Is it an accurate one? Considering how many lies Joe Wilson has told, there has to be some reason so many people are ignoring the lies and continuing to pound on Karl Rove. Are they threatening Bush with wholesale release of U.S. secrets to keep him from cleaning house?

Keep watching.
