Rep. Porter Goss

2004

• November 17 -- Is the New CIA Chief "Suppressing Dissent"?
New C.I.A. chief Porter Goss won't be catching any breaks at the Times, judging by the coverage so far: "The newest spymaster lays down the law. Some see his move as suppressing dissent."

• August 12 -- Still Haunted by Max Cleland's Loss
Katharine Seelye's front-page story shows Democrats (and the NYT) still obsessed over Sen. Max Cleland's 2002 defeat: "Republicans ran a television commercial showing pictures of Mr. Cleland, Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein, and said Mr. Cleland 'voted against the president's vital homeland security efforts 11 times.' Mr. Cleland lost his seat."

• August 11 -- Can Goss Boss the CIA?
Poisoning the well for Rep. Porter Goss, Bush's choice to head the CIA: "…his recent actions…have angered a number of senior C.I.A. officials, which could make it difficult for him to work with many of the holdovers from the Tenet era." Another piece intones: "Mr. Goss has engendered considerable ill will within the very organization he has been tapped to lead."
