June 4, 2004 -- WASHINGTON — House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Porter Goss (R-Fla.) has emerged as a leading candidate to head the CIA — but some insiders are also talking up former Mayor Rudy Giuliani. President Bush appointed George Tenet's deputy, John McLaughlin, as the CIA's interim director yesterday, and officials said the president may wait until after the elections to select a new chief.Officials said Bush may delay naming a new CIA head because there are a series of investigations and reviews of the CIA's failures now under way in Congress that are likely to result in recommendations for widespread restructuring of U.S. intelligence agencies.
Garnering bipartisan backing, Goss, a popular Republican from Florida, is considered the early leader to replace Tenet, administration officials said.

Guiliani doesn't have the cred for CIA. He'd be better as the FBI director with Mueller moved to the CIA.
I'd like to see 43 appoint 41 as CIA director.
LOL! The shrill tone from the left would be absolutely hilarious.
I can just picture Zarqawi & Co. crappin' their pants once they pick up their local, arabic-language newspaper and discover that Rudy is on the case!
Lllisten here terrroristsss! Your asssssth ifffffss mine! Sthhho I don't want to hearr any more bitchhhin!
Nope!!
That's one New York tabloid headline I'd like to see...
"DUBYA TO TERRORISTS: IT'S GIULIANI TIME!"
Why do you think Mueller would be good for CIA - and why not keep him at FBI.
I do agree though that I think Rudi is better suited for FBI than CIA - but what do I know ..??
Whoever it is, I think it needs to be someone dynamic, personable and well known. It shouldn't be another dull hack. The CIA needs a good PR man as much as it needs a good leader.
Then he could appoint Jeb as the AG, like Kennedy did with Bobby.
Oh! That's right. Only liberals are aloud to do those things and get away with it.
If it weren't for such a venal, corrupt action on the part of JFK, we may well have had HRC over at the DOJ for eight years, instead of El Reno.
That is pure genius, Ambrose.
Geez, what happened to my lissssp? AH, DAMMIT! There it goes again!
being selfishly from cny,i would rather see rudy take out her queen the witch.
i agree,however let the man enjoy retirement.he's served this country greatly.

< sarcasm > Yeah, only the left has the right to participate in nepotism (kennedys). Only the left is allowed a political dynasty (kennedys). < /sarcasm >
I wonder if G. has the temperament for the Senate, though, and whether it would mar him for future executive consideration. This guy could be a pres. candidate.
Rudy will hopefully run for NY Governor in 2006.
I still like the baseball "double switch"...Cheney to CIA and Condi Rice VP.
