According to intelligence sources, the CIA’s top counter-terrorism official, Robert Grenier, was fired last week because he opposed detaining Al-Qaeda suspects in secret prisons abroad, sending them to other countries for interrogation and using forms of torture such as “water boarding.”

Vincent Cannistraro, former head of counterterrorism, claimed the Grenier was fired because “he wasn’t with the program. He expressed misgivings about the secret prisons in Europe and the rendition of terrorists.”

Since Porter Goss has taken control of the agency, almost all of its high level directors have left amid growing turmoil and plummeting morale.

AB “Buzzy” Krongard, a former executive director who rresigned shortly after Goss arrived commented that “History will judge how good an idea it was to destroy the teams and the programmes that were in place.”

With Bush’s military adventures breaking the Army and his political appointees destroying the intelligence community, the administration might just as well hand their budgets directly over to the contractors. They’re the only ones benefiting from the money.
