They're supposed to be around for decades protecting America, not getting switched around every time there's a White House change. You want a new CIA director every 4 years, and a completely new staff? "Sorry guys, I know you're close to catching Bin Laden, but the dems won this year, and you're all fired". Not everything works like Crossfire on CNN. This unprecedented action is the worst thing that could possibly happen in the fight against terrorists.
If information wasn't made public, 80% not 50% of Americans would still think Iraq had WMD.

Wrong...as is SOP for you Richy boy. The CIA works for the administration in power and are required not to subvert administration policy from within or leak information... in an attempt to influence public opinion...to subvert administration policy from without. For the latter agents can not only be fired...they can also be criminally prosecuted.
