Lock up the spoons! Or the aluminum tubes, as the case may be...

The man named by the new CIA (news - web sites) director for the third-highest position at the agency said on Monday he would not take the job following reports that he was caught shoplifting more than two decades ago.

"As a result of recent press articles and attendant speculation, I have decided that I cannot accept an appointment as CIA's executive director," Michael Kostiw said in a statement.

He will however work at the agency as a senior adviser to the new director, Porter Goss, the former Republican chairman of the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee.

What baffles me is why Goss thinks its OK for a shoplifter to be a senior advisor, if it isn't OK for a shoplifter to be an executive director.

Oh, wait—IOKIYAR!

After lying, looting is what Republicans do best!
