Did David Boren install a homosexual network within the CIA?

Since FriendsOfLiberty.com has provided the interviews with Kay Griggs on the subject of the military-homosexual complex, I would like to open up consideration of the question of whether David Boren, using the influence he gained as the patron and mentor of George Tenet, was able to install a homosexual network in the CIA.
First of all, I am 100% sure that Boren is homosexual. This has been known at the gossip level around Oklahoma for more than three decades.
Boren was outed without any ambiguity in a 1995 book entitled [I]The Price of Achievement[/I], by W. Scott Thompson, who was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford the same time Boren was there. Boren was openly gay at Oxford, but tried to appear to be straight when he came back to Oklahoma to run for office.
It wasn't an easy appearance to maintain. As a legislator in the late 60s, Boren had a bad habit of mashing his body up against teen-age page boys in the Capitol elevators. With two years remaining on his third term, Boren resigned from the U.S. Senate in 1994, after he was assured that he would be named president of the University of Oklahoma. The year before the gay press started to out him and he was being accused of male-on-male sexual harassment. Boren managed to conceal this unpleasant news from most Oklahomans.
W. Scott Thompson was a Reagan appointee who came out himself as gay during the Reagan years. He later became a professor at Tufts. He devotes two pages of his book to Boren. He says that Boren's homosexuality "was never too far from the surface." For all the evidence about Boren and his history of predatory homosexuality, go here:

This website has been up since 2000, and Boren has never sued me for libel. Rest assured that he knows about it. He has also never sued W. Scott Thompson. The reason is obvious: more than anyone else, Boren knows we are telling the truth...

by Michael P. Wright Norman, Oklahoma June 19, 2005 [/QUOTE] I dunno. Here's some of the corraborating "proof" that Wright comes up with
[QUOTE]This information is from Tenet's March 2005 speech at OU. This was hosted by his good friend and mentor Boren. I have a copy of the video of this speech:
Tenet boasted that he had kissed Arafat more times than any other U.S. official;
Tenet said that he "loved" OU football coach Bob Stoops;
Tenet admitted to being in the locker room of the OU football team, before the 2004 Sugar Bowl game;[/QUOTE]
If loving Bob Stoops (at least after the Texas game) makes one homosexual, there are an awful lot of homosexuals in Oklahoma. :lol:
Overall Wright is onto an interesting if almost ancient story in Oklahoma, Boren's alleged homosexual leanings, although his tendency to overreach I think also exemplifies a general tendency among the Boren critics which helps explain why the talk has never gained much serious traction.
Perhaps this is why the best part of Wrights argument seems to be his analysis of Michelangelo Signorile's [I]Queer In America[/I], where he certainly gives a pretty convincing case that Signorile had Boren in mind in his acccount of a gay Washington politico.
Its interesting though. Why does Signorile write apocalyptically then? One gets the impression that Boren, as head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, wasn't a person wher the decision to publically attack was made lightly.
Quite possibly if Boren had lived in a place like Massachusetts he would have come out of the closet long ago, like Barney Frank, and gone on to an equally successful career as an open homosexual, although one can only speculate. In Oklahoma though he's fought the allegations and built a credible straight cover life at least, with a son who just was elected congressman. In any event, if unofficial rumours are to be believed, the congressman who strays sexually at the Capitol is about as common as a Chinaman in Shanghai.

& of Reagan official W. Scott Thompson's first-hand (...as it were) reportage of Boren being queer, while they both attended Oxford University as Rhodes scholars?
Okie: Ya underwhelm me (often).
