 WITHIN A MONTH! THE BRINGING DOWN OF BOBBY RAY INMAN
Inman was denounced as remarkably "thin-skinned," his behavior in charging conspiracy treated as "weird" and "bizarre," and the general reaction echoed that of Senator Dole: that someone harboring "fantasies" of this sort was not really equipped to be the captain at the helm of America's defenses.
One was Inman's role as a member of the board of International Signal and Control, a firm found by a federal district judge to be a criminal enterprise engaged in illegal arms dealing, money laundering, and business fraud on a massive scale.
One of the points dredged up against Inman was that, while a high official in intelligence in 1980, he had acted to keep a gay in the National Security Agency from being fired from his post.

 A.L. Bardach interviews Bob Inman. By A.L. Bardach
John McMahon [Inman's successor] had worked for the vice president when he was DCI [director of central intelligence], and wanted him to speak, so I waited until Casey was out of town, and I invited Bush to come preside over the ceremony.
Inman: The standard rumor at the time was that Rumsfeld, as chief of staff, had persuaded President Ford to appoint George H.W. Bush as director of Central Intelligence, assuming that that got rid of a potential competitor for the presidency.
Inman: The scene is at the end of Veil, in which Woodward reports that he got into Casey's room and asked him a number of questions and got responses.

Inman made the point that when governments are faced with problems that are too big, they often just throw up their hands and don't deal with it.
Inman was surprised by the looming introduction of VoicePGP, and said that that would be a big problem, particularly with the advent of mobile computers that supported VoicePGP, since much of the dealer-level narcotics enfocement relies on such surveilance.

 Adm. Inman Asks Clinton To Withdraw Nomination
Inman, in his letter released by the White House and in a long, bitter news conference, laid out a sequence of media events that he said led to his conclusion he did not want to return to public life.
Inman said he was told by Republican sources that Dole and Sen. Trent Lott, R-Miss., planned to "turn up the heat" on his nomination by questioning Inman's failure to pay the Social Security taxes or his operation of Tracor.
Inman suggested that while he believed he would be confirmed, the scrutiny of the media and the Senate in the confirmation process, and what he sees as contstant attacks on public officials by columnists in particular, made service unattractive to him.

 Media Coverage of Bobby Ray Inman: Pro-lsrael McCarthyism in Action
Her Jan. 20 column on Inman's press conference compared him to the "off-the-wall naval officer lashing out at the world" depicted in The Caine Mutiny and suggested he was a "career egomaniac." She didn't even hint at what Inman had to say about Safire and Israel.

Inman has backed off some of his charges, but alleged again in an interview this week that when he, as deputy CIA director, moved in 1981 to limit Israel's access to U.S. intelligence, Safire privately asked Casey to overrule Inman.

Inman also said the program clearly contradicts the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act which Congress passed in 1978 -- at the time he was head of the National Security Agency.
I think that Admiral Inman's insights into the NSA eavesdropping program are important -- and given his self-admitted penchant for candor, I think that many of his comments on other fronts are fascinating, insightful and informed by his considerable analytical abilities and high quality relationships in America's national security bureaucracy.
Inman stating that Richard Armitage is the target of indictment is news and could have some veracity because of who Inman is.

Inman was withdrawing himself from public service because he was withdrawing himself from the light.
Inman even said that he was the victim of a secret plot, "a trade," between William Safire and Robert Dole, according to which "Dole would turn up the heat on my nomination [and[ Safire would turn up the heat on Whitewater." You could almost hear that Patsky Cline song.

Inman said he wouldn't have a problem sidestepping that law — as a "limited response to an emergency situation," like the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
Inman also brushed aside criticism that Hayden, as a military man, might be subservient to the secretary of defense.
A decade ago, Inman noted, he became "persuaded … that (the CIA) was a broken agency." Testifying before Congress, he advocated separating the agency's intelligence analysts from its clandestine agents because the analysts "always want to make the collectors look good." Those same pressures are, if anything, stronger today.
