Goss: Interrogations Key to War on Terror
EFL - Good read, here are a couple of pearls:Porter Goss, nominated to be the next CIA director, took a hard line on interrogations in the war on terror 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 prison camp. 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." "We were very concerned that Guantanamo was being set up by the military to get the Good Housekeeping seal of approval because the International Committee of the Red Cross and the human rights people were there en masse, baying in large crowds with cameras, and making sure that these people who were trying to kill us and blow up airplanes ... that these nice, friendly people would be receiving all the necessary amenities of Good Housekeeping," Goss said in May. Sounds like this guy will have a hard time of it, too much of a straight shooter. Which is exactly what is needed in a CIA director. Posted by: JerseyMike 2004-09-07 |
