Over at Daily Kos, Meteor Blades (who sounds like an artifact from a Final Fantasy game) has a rundown of Porter Goss's recent acts of partisanship. Key quotes:
[on the Sep11 commission, Goss was] giving clear priority to providing political protection for the president... completely absent from the committee's report was any mention of the President's Daily Brief of Aug. 6, 2001, which bore the title "Bin Laden determined to strike in US"..
...Goss threatened perjury charges against former anti-terrorism czar Richard Clarke...
...all but 17 Senate Democrats went jelly and okayed him for the job anyway...
...Porter Goss' initial moves as CIA director appear to herald a post-election purge at the already troubled spy agency...
I pride myself on paying close attention to the news, and all of this is new to me. I am not happy.
