I would like everyone to remember that this investigation was NOT initiated by the Justice Dept. It was damn well NOT requested by the White House.

It was started by the Central Intelligence Agency.

Soon after the investigation began, Tenet was out, the new director Goss was appointed and the agency was purged of all suspected "anti neocons". The agency was truely decimated and lost most of the old school agents who would not agree to turn the agency into a political re election machine for Cheney and Rumsfeld.

The old CIA was like a submarine that was destroyed but managed to send a torpedo back at the White House before they were sunk.

This would make an interesting illustration but I fear few people would get it.
