CIA terminates Dr. K with extreme iciness

WASHINGTON - The CIA has told Henry Kissinger to kiss off, saying his services as an informal adviser to Director Porter Goss are no longer needed.
The pink slip came in the form of a terse communiqué from Goss to Kissinger - the vaunted diplomat and counselor to Presidents - and other members of an intelligence advisory board that meets several times a year, Newsweek magazine reported yesterday.
The council of wise men recently sacked by the new CIA honcho includes 9/11 Commissioner and ex-Sen. Bob Kerrey (D-Neb.), who heads New School University in New York; former Sen. Sam Nunn (D-Ga.), and ex-Joint Chiefs Chairman Adm. William Crowe. Kissinger told the magazine he had "no view" on the dismissals, and another member of the panel, ex-CIA and FBI Director William Webster, insisted he was not offended.
Jettisoning the advisers marked the latest controversial move by Goss, the Republican ex-House Intelligence Committee chairman busily shaking up the spy agency.
In recent weeks, the spy chief has replaced several senior officials in the clandestine service and also stopped nightly counterterrorism meetings attended by the intelligence community. This week, former top Bush-Cheney campaign aide Jennifer Millerwise takes over as chief spokeswoman at the agency.

De oude garde van de Amerikaanse politiek wordt in rap tempo weggestuurd bij de Amerikaanse overheid. Christelijk Rechts krijgt steeds meer invloed op de Amerikaanse overheid. Kissinger stond bekend om zijn 'real-politiks' en zijn engagement met de Sovjetunie. Dit betekent mogelijk dat een confrontatie tussen het Westen en Rusland dichterbij is dan wij voor mogelijk houden.
