Hey didn’t you hear VP Cheney last night on the News Hour explaining that secrets should remain secrets?

And what should be more secret than ‘dirty linens’ at our Intelligence Agencies….

Here is another bend in that same ‘issue river’ from WAPO that I read today:

Goss Says Leaks Have Hurt CIA’s Work, Urges ProbeNSA Eavesdropping Defended at Briefing By Spencer S. Hsu and Walter Pincus
Washington Post Staff Writers
Friday, February 3, 2006; Page A03
CIA Director Porter J. Goss told a Senate committee yesterday that unauthorized leaks of classified information about agency activities have caused “severe damage” to the CIA’s operations and that journalists who report leaks should be questioned by a grand jury.”

But so I am not just being critical of the CIA’s policy here, let me offer here a suggestion for the CIA Gosslings to try to make them ‘get it’……

In the spirit of intelligence transformation, joint intelligence sharing—as well as outsourcing to private contractors to solve government’s most knotty problems.

I think we ought to outsource this problem for a solution to private industry.

I would personally recommend that Porter Goss telephone Mikhail Gorbachev’s new “Glasnost in Spookcraft Consulting Agency” down on K Street, (phone with the General Hayden and the NSA’s blessing of course), and ask Mickey G. for some “Glasnost” (openness) and “Perestroika” (restructuring/transformation) lessons.

Maybe Gorby can give Gossy and his groupies at the CIA some pointers on how to take constructive criticism and be more open to change….

For a FAT FEE to Gorby & his KGB Back Office Associates—this problem CAN BE SOLVED!
