GOP leaders in Congress join attacks on Clarke

By FRANK DAVIES- Miami Herald

"There's a huge difference between what Clarke said then and now, and there may be a lie involved," said Goss, a Sanibel Republican, who added that he was "just starting" to read through Clarke's two-year-old testimony.

"He seems to be saying now that President Bush did not focus on terrorism, which is 180 degrees from what we heard and what I think the truth is," Goss added.

1. good to know the cia is in serious, nonpartisan hands

.

[leesa]

2. Ah yes, a prime player in the Bush Crime Family....just reinforces my

belief that BushCo either DID or were heavily involved in 9-11?

[tom_paine]

3. Agreed. And Goss is one of their Sotto Capos.

This is the WORST possible news for America and means the CIA is going to Gestapo-ize severely.

[Old and In the Way]

6. And what might Mr. Goss be doing between now and the election?

Getting rid of every damaging document that could tell us what really was going on in the summer of 2001. I hope George Tenet took the originals with him...

[Vickers]

13. That was exactly my thought...Goss is the laundryman

Scrub, scrub, scrub that place clean before a responsible adult gets in there.

5. Porter Goss is the Bushco scandal du jour

On tonight's PBS Newshour (http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/fedagencies/july-dec04/goss_8-10.html), former CIA analyst Ray McGovern said that Goss is part of a White House cover up.

A quote:

{Porter Goss was co-chairman} of the joint committee that was the first to investigate 9/11. At the end of that committee, their final report left out all the information having to do with what the president of the United States was told prior to 9/11. The White House forbade that from being in the final report. Eleanor Hill, the executive director of that committee remonstrated loudly.

Porter Goss gave in to the White House, and so that report was ipso facto, incomplete, because it contained lots of stuff, but nothing on what the president was told before 9/11. That's proof positive to me that you've got a partisan person here who will do the bidding of the White House. And that's precisely why he's been nominated and nominated now because the controversy will now be centered on the failure of intelligence, Iraq, 9/11, failure of intelligence and no attention being given to the failure of the president.

7. That may be the wedge that we need in this debate.

Great addition!

[oasis]

10. Whoop.... there it is.

[Zorra]

12. Goss knew. n/t

[redstateblues]

8. He, and my Senator Frist read Repub talking points after Clark's

expose. Disgusting accusations from which they totally backed down.

[mountainvue]

9. Wow. This guy is quick.

Can Kerry get rid of him in January?
