Some sources tell the San Diego Union Tribune
that Goss’s resignation was related to the Cunningham bribery scandal. Other sources toe the official line and tell the paper Goss’s resignation was completely unrelated. (The San Diego Union Tribune recently won a Pulitzer Prize for its coverage of the Cunningham scandal.)

It’s “Diego”, not “Deigo”.
May 6th, 2006 at 10:53 amHate to point this out, but it’s San Diego
Well if they have the sources, it makes them more credible than the MSM rampant speculations. But still, I’m reserving my two cents for more information.
May 6th, 2006 at 10:54 amI’m sure there is going to be a lot of spin about what is wrong with the CIA. I can tell you what they did wrong: They allowed Bush and Cheney to hand pick intelligence to make their case to invade Iraq. No good deed will go unpunished by Bush and the NeoCons.
May 6th, 2006 at 10:56 amWhat they did wrong (or most wrong) is not always the same as what will take them down. This crowd has done so many things wrong, I don’t care which one brings them down, as long as something does.
May 6th, 2006 at 11:21 amWOW, even the Conservatives are getting angry, I took this from whizzbang GOP blog site.
Oh. On The Goss thing. I’m gonna put my duckies on the Plame affair. {The Hookers will be an added bonus=)
/speculation

WASHINGTON – Angry conservatives are driving the approval ratings of President Bush and the GOP-led Congress to dismal new lows, according to an AP-Ipsos poll that underscores why Republicans fear an Election Day massacre.
Six months out, the intensity of opposition to Bush and Congress has risen sharply, along with the percentage of Americans who believe the nation is on the wrong track.
I have been a Conservative Texan for a long Time.
We here in Texas are FED UP with this corruption.
That is not the way of our good Lord.
Why you want to HARP on the Kennedys is beyond me. The Liberal Elites of Ivey League is what Bush, Kerry, Kennedy and many others belong.
These people are addicts, the Media Pandering to, or apologizng for the behaviour of the Few only serves to REINFORCE the addicts drug use.
Medicizing or Apologizing FOR ANY PERSON, because thats all they are, IS TANTAMOUNT to Appeasing that Persons drug Habit. YOU become the ENABLERS.
DO NOT PUT THESE PEOPLE ON A PEDESTAL
KENNEDY, RUSH whomever. STOP APOLOGIZING for the ELITISTS.
I for one see that the Republican Party has abandoned many of our ideas of Christianity for the love of the money God Mammon. That, as a servant to the LORD, I cannot and will not Support.

YIKES!!
Looks like the Republicans had better start running because it’s much to late to jog.
May 6th, 2006 at 12:10 pmYet the majority of the MSM is folloeing the BA spin that he just “quit cause he wanted to”. Of course this connected to the hooker scandal, why else would he resign that quickly, a week after his involvement in the scandal went public.

May 6th, 2006 at 12:40 pmMore on Porter Goss’ resignation and the GOP/CIA hooker scandal: Right now on LCL
#5 – Wow, their dander is UP.
MEDIA ALERT — Goss resignation story buried in Yahoo! News
Boston Globe headlines – 2 Kennedy stories (Patrick in rehab & Bush admin. opposes measure to allow Gov to ban windfarm, a measure supported by Sen. Kennedy—there’s a strange one for you: Bush admin supports wind farm. Hmmmmm, must be a scam); and BELOW THE FOLD: RESIGNATION OF CIA CHIEF GOFF STIRS QUESTIONS
“STIRS QUESTIONS”? How about “IGNITES FIRESTORM OF SPECULATION”
May 6th, 2006 at 12:46 pm?
Goober is running out of people who have any honor OR credentials. pretty soon you will see Pee Wee Herman as director of Homeland Security!!
May 6th, 2006 at 12:55 pm“…pretty soon you will see Pee Wee Herman as director of Homeland Security!!”
Pee Wee is already writing their speeches: “I’m NOT sorry!”
May 6th, 2006 at 1:01 pmOn Thursday, Rep. Pete Hoekstra, the Michigan Republican who heads the House Intelligence Committee, said he raised the issue of Wilkes’ parties with the committee’s independent investigator.
“One of the things he would want to find out is if these things actually existed, who was there,†Hoekstra told The Associated Press. “We would want to know. I would want to know.â€

May 6th, 2006 at 1:29 pmsomeone on a GOP blog named him/erself “ABRAXAS” ?!??
wow – my first thought was the 1970 Santana album – but figure that type would not be a fan (i know, i know, shouldn’t generalize in stereotypes)…
but the other main example doesn’t fit either – well, it fits W and any of his cohorts, but to post a bible verse then the name Abraxas, doesn’t make sence… or perfect sense…
Abraxas is a DEMON… or as in wikipedia: “Abraxas has been claimed to be both an Egyptian god and a demon, sometimes even being associated with the dual nature of Satan/Lucifer”
oo-kay… what’s goin’ on here…
May 6th, 2006 at 1:30 pmThe only thing keeping Bush above the 30 percent level is the meat heads on Fox News continually kissing his ass.
If it wasn’t for that, he would have lost his base a long time ago.
May 6th, 2006 at 1:33 pmOh Boy, the storm grows bigger all the time, doesn’t it? If you try putting the Indictments together, what does that suggest?
Maybe a clue might help with part of my life’s experience? I was in a family for more than 26 years who joined Organized Crime, but this wasn’t any ordinary Crime System! It has direct links to very wide spread Organized Political Corruption that’s Mammoth in scale! My ex-wife’s family job in this system was to be a Corruption Laundromat, where criminal stolen money went directly into developed property using Mortgage Fraud techniques, arrangements with Banks (Trust Departments), Corrupt Recorder of Deed departments and others. They aren’t the ONLY Corruption Laundromat around though. The World’s biggest is â€Mandarin Oriental Group†which is owned by “Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum” who also owns “Dubai Ports World of Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Coâ€. Everyone certainly knows Dubai!
Hey, I can’t blame anyone for finding this difficult to believe! When I first was told about this while in the family, I didn’t believe it either. It wasn’t until later when all the pieces started falling together during the divorce that I understood what this was. It’s difficult to believe, but it’s entirely true. But there’s more as there’s a huge International Drug Distribution system that’s part of this. When my ex-wife’s family first joined, they laundered for the drug system, which by the way was part of the Iran/Contra affair in the 80’s. Recently Wayne Madisen and Madcow report that a suspicious jet was caught shipping cocaine stored in travel bags into the US. The story explains suggests that the CIA & FAA are also involved.
However, there are huge Corrupt Military connections all through this, as seen in the CIA/Drug link above and many others. Madisen also reports that his computer servers were mysteriously shut down. When they looked to find out who was behind their problems, it was two US Military divisions located outside the US. That’s where the problems originated from. I don’t have the links handi but if you want them, let me know.
The wide spread Political Corruption that I’m familiar extends from our LOCAL areas ALL THE WAY INTO OUR FEDERAL LEVEL. My life’s experience in this crosses numerous times with Gus Boulis/Abramoff, Chicago’s Hired Truck Scandal, Drug busts, Former ILL Gov Ryan, Former ILL Gov Jim Thompson and many others. Watch out for Gen Hyden as he’s one of them!
Although it’s obvious Bush/Cheney are a major problem, the real problem though are those around them. This is another reason why right now, there’s such a huge obsessive interest to reclassify the release of documents. The problem we are looking at extends over many Presidential administrations and there’s a more than obvious trail buried in documents that the criminal group is desperately trying to hide from us. I personally know about Clinton being involved and Bush while he was Governor or Texas.
What really saddens me greatly though are the many worse crimes other than corruption that have been committed on US citizens throughout the years. This past you’ll never believe! Also, wiretapping that I’m familiar with has been going on way before 9/11 (decades before) so don ‘t believe anything they tell you that it just started after 9/11. I know that directly from the family. Just remember, when you’re job is to launder someone else’s criminal money so they end up owning something free and clear, they are going to treat you very extra special! We were told EVERYTHING!
May 6th, 2006 at 3:27 pmMarty,
May 6th, 2006 at 4:02 pmIs that your real name? If it is, I will be investing in daisies, pails and cement. (Just want to keep all options open.)
WaltTheMan,
May 6th, 2006 at 4:29 pmYES, it is my REAL name. Go ahead and invest if you want. I’m not the ONLY one who knows this to be honest with you. There are others who know and have experienced many of the real horrible crimes that haven’t surfaced yet. Frankly, many want to testify in court with what they know. So as this monster unfolds, be preared! Get that seatbelt installed! I know this is diffuclt to believe, but please accept that what I told you is the truth!
My tongue-in-cheek take on ‘hookergate’ and the resignation of Porter Goss here:
http://www.thoughttheater.com
May 6th, 2006 at 4:52 pmthe most corrupt government yet?
May 6th, 2006 at 4:58 pmtim,
May 6th, 2006 at 5:24 pmNero certainly deserves at least a tie or honorable mention!
The sex scandal was one of the factors that forced Porter Goss to resign, but Ray McGovern outing Rumsfeld as a liar on Thursday contributed as well! A former high ranking CIA official confronted Rumsfeld, so he must have yelled at Goss about it, and it turned ugly resulting in Goss being forced out and/or wanting to leave too?!
