Press conference at 1:45

[kabar]

Negroponte is going to select the next head of the CIA. I don't believe it.

[Mo1]

Yes .. Jack Straw

[SE Mom]

I listened to him at the end- didn't catch all of it.. no content- typical liberal. "..surprised by the resignation..need for more restructuring..blah..blah.."

I was simply stunned that 1) FOX called to interview him, and 2) That he agreed to be on FOX.

Sorry I've got no better info.

[jennyjenny]

Timmy is acting like Goss and Negroponte(sp) have been having this discussion for some time and talking about a replacement that will probably be announced early next week. Hope I got that right,lol.

[Dog]

At the risk of being hammered again..and ridiculed..

What the hell?

[catholicfreeper]

Well to be fair to poor ole FOX. THis news sort of broke all of a sudden and they have to get people on. I expect the Washington freeways were very dangerous with all the talking heads rushing to studios

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

HUHHH???

[Mo1]

Off Topic

FNC ALERT
3PM News Conference on Patrick Kennedy

[bert]

....Maybe this is less about Goss than something else that's about to come down the pike......

I suspect you are correct.

The surface is heretofore calm but there is turbulence down below.

[potlatch]

The invisible man?

[Txsleuth]

Thanks for the heads up---I think...

DANG, I was so hoping Patrick Kennedy would be the big story going into the weekend...

[Coop]

DCI reports to Negroponte. Makes sense.

[gov_bean_ counter]

While we are tossing around tin foil material...

It is possible that one or more of many investigations are beginning to focus on Congresscritters with whom Goss associated and did battle. If so, he would have to step aside to remove the political witch hunt aspect of the investigations.

[navysealdad]

Now that changes have been made at CIA. Need a new person(Person With A Clean Slate) to come in to continue the changes.

[Mo1]

So far I've heard Mon. Tues. or Thurs.

ok .. I'll just say some time next week ... *L*

[Sacajaweau]

Negroponte made a public appearance not too long ago. The press said it was VERY, VERY unusual to see him. It had to do with the NSA.

[demlosers]

Negroponte is going to select the next head of the CIA. I don't believe it.

Who says?

[Mo1]

I was channel surfing and got a hugh laugh...MSNBC was discussing Porter's resignation with Dana Priest!!! LOL

Are you serious??

What did she have to say?

[SE Mom]

Norah O'Donnell says Negroponte asked Goss to leave.

If true- UNBELIEVABLE.

[txhurl]

Maybe this is less about Goss than something else that's about to come down the pike, and 43 wanting someone with an iron fist at the CIA when it does.

I've been waiting for something to be found in Syria....?
