Stephen F. Hayes writes in Weekly Standard about the cleanup going on at the CIA. Some are concerned about the Porter Goss approach:
“What’s your take on Porter Goss’s leadership at the CIA after nearly a month in office? Is he making an effort to reach out to the rank and file or is he pretty much relying on his ‘special advisers’ to run the place for him?”
Look, reaching out is a Kumbayah thing. A spy agency, or any other government agency, should be more interested in work being done and done right rather than whether the bureaucrats feel validated by their boss. And does “reaching out” not work both ways?
