Bush's CIA choice says interrogations remain key

Porter Goss, tapped as the next CIA director, says the Senate lacked "balance" in its public hearings investigating the Iraqi prison scandal and should not have plucked military commanders from the field to question them about the abuse.

Goss took a hard line on interrogations in interviews with The Associated Press earlier this year, saying "Gee you're breaking my heart" to complaints that Arab men found it abusive to have women guards at the Guantanamo Bay terror camp - statements that could draw scrutiny during his Senate confirmation hearing, possibly next week.

During one interview in May, the eight-term House Republican from Florida said he couldn't count the number of ongoing prison abuse investigations, but "we've got the circus in the Senate, which is always the likely place to look for the circus."

"Even though I say that lightheartedly, I do honestly question whether or not they have balance over there on this issue," said Goss, who has declined interviews since President Bush nominated him last month. ..

1. I can't wait to hear what...

... Ray McGovern has to say about this latest drivel coming from Porter Goss. Should be interesting.

Goss is a partisan hack. Putting him in charge of the CIA is tantamount to installing Bush in the Presidency. A big mistake and a rape of logic.

2. Goss has never met an investigation he wouldn't rather to cover up

Going back to the hearings on the CIA/crack cocaine scandal of the 90's, Porter Goss has always been the strongest voice for hear-no-evil / see-no-evil / speak-no-evil. I'm quite convinced Bush has nominated him specifically in order to cover up a multitude of sins, and I'd really love to see the Democrats make a stink about it. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like they will.
