08/17/2005 Entry: "So, when did Negroponte become the witchfinder general?"

"CIA Director Porter J. Goss threw a wake yesterday.

"With eight former intelligence chiefs at his side, including former president George H.W. Bush, Goss honored the influential and powerful position they have all held: director of central intelligence, a job that no longer exists.

"The post was officially taken away from Goss two months ago and promptly abolished. Since then, the former Florida congressman has been in charge only of the CIA, and not the rest of the intelligence community, as he had been when he was sworn in almost a year ago.

"John D. Negroponte, who took over the DCI's responsibilities of briefing the president and coordinating the country's 15 intelligence agencies under the newly created title of director of national intelligence, did not attend the party at the CIA's headquarters in Langley. Goss's office could not remember whether he had been invited. Negroponte's office said he would not have made it anyway because he was traveling."
Goss, 8 Ex-Chiefs of CIA Mark Old Post's Passing. Responsibilities Now Held by Negroponte, by Dafna Linzer, Washington Post Staff Writer, August 17, 2005

Whoa! I thought Negroponte was still ambassador to what's left of Iraq. He's head witchfinder now? We were in bad trouble, we are in worse trouble now. Damn.
