I guess Goss thinks Bush is getting re-elected, since he's giving up his congressional seat for this.

Got no problem with Peter Goss, and if the dems give him a hard time during the nomination hearings, I'm thinking it will hurt them more than Goss.
Bring it on!

Bush should have done this on January 20, 2001... Keeping Clintonista Tenet around was a mistake.

Wasn't he the sponsor of HR-3179, the Anti-Terrorism Intelligence Tools Improvement Act of 2003?

Yessss!!! One of the good guys!!! (At least this soothes the pain a little of losing Ted Olson.)

I was hoping for Topher Black, but Goss is good, too.

A half hour after George Tenent's resignation was announced, I picked Porter Goss as his replacement. (Pats self on back)

I missed that one. In that case, even a 6 month gig as Chief Spook would likely lead to a nice book deal.

Goss is in favor of "human intelligence," rather than the usual electronic toys that cost billions and provide very little real intelligence. He obviously has something going for him.
I'm sure liberals would like to throw an absolute fit, but they may be hampered by the importance of filling the position as soon as possible. After all, the last thing liberals want is for the CIA to be effective.

This may have an interesting effect on the 911 committee.

"In particular, he has focused on preventing off-shore oil drilling and setting aside funding to restore the Everglades ecosystem. He has served on bipartisan commissions and task forces to craft proposals to make health care more affordable and accessible for everyone."
gag!!!
Goss voted against HR 1950 last year, which would cap US contributions to the UN at no more than any other permanant member.
He seems something like an internationalist RINO. I hope I'm wrong.

WOW ... you are good
It'll be interesting to see who replaces him.
My short list:
Sam Nunn
Richard Lugar
John McCain
Porter Goss
I doubt any of them are on anybody else's short list though.

i was hoping they'd bring in someone new from the business sector to bring a fresh mind and fresh ideas.
I doubtif an insider would be able to see the problems within the agency,since they are not used to doing things another way.
I haven't read much about porter, but i don't seem to like him much.
To: My Favorite Headache
He is the best person I can think of for this position, and I've been hoping President Bush would choose him.

Wanna bet that the Dems will want to examine Goss' CIA file, to see if he ever did anything naughty?...
