Statement by John Kerry on the Selection of Porter Goss to be CIA Director
Edited on Tue Aug-10-04 02:01 PM by NewYorkerfromMass
Las Vegas, NV - Senator John Kerry released the following statement today:

“I believe we must have fair, bipartisan and expeditious confirmation hearings on the nomination of Porter Goss to run the CIA. This is a key position in fighting the war on terror and should not be left vacant. But the most important position is one that hasn’t been created yet, National Intelligence Director with real control of budgets and personnel. We need to move urgently on this and other recommendations by the 9/11 Commission to make America safer. The most important thing we can do right now is reform and strengthen our intelligence services as the 9/11 Commission has recommended. I hope that Congressman Goss shares this view and will now support the creation of this important post.”

This is great. Kerry is saying that Goss ultimately should NOT be the highest level director of Intellignece!
