Doublespeak

Maybe someone else who is smarter than me can make sense of Goss' instructions to his new super secret staff. In an email to staff this week, Goss wrote
We avoid political involvement, especially political partisanship...We support the administration and its policies in our work...As agency employees, we do not identify with, support or champion opposition to the administration or its policies. We provide the intelligence as we see it — and let the facts alone speak to the policy-maker.
Let me see if I get this: We're not political partisans...we only support the Republican agenda...we shun the opposition...we are neutral.

Is that clear everyone?
