SEX SCANDAL CALLS CIA’S SELF-POLICING INTO QUESTION.

The Washington Post:

As a novice CIA case officer in the Middle East, Andrew Warren quickly learned the value of sex in recruiting spies. Colleagues say that he made an early habit of taking informants to strip clubs, and that he later began arranging out-of-town visits to brothels for his best recruits. Often Warren would travel with them, according to two colleagues who worked with him for years.

His methods earned him promotions and notoriety over a lengthy career, until Warren, 41, became ensnared in a sex scandal. Two Algerian women have accused the Virginia native of drugging and sexually assaulting them, and, in one instance, videotaping the encounter.

Six weeks after the allegations came to light, Warren has been formally notified by CIA Director Leon E. Panetta of his impending dismissal, according to U.S. government officials familiar with the case. But the episode—one of three sex-related scandals to shake the CIA this year—has drawn harsh questions from Congress about whether the agency adequately polices its far-flung workforce or takes sufficient steps to root out corrupt behavior.

This was policy and now it's a crime. We hear this story and then there's Cheney's assassination squad what's next? Firing this man is like putting a bandaid on a big sore. This Department and others were run by corrupt Leaders and it's enbedded with more crimes that will come out. Every Department needs to be cleaned up from top to bottom.
