Bush's choice for CIA chief
From Altercations:
As David Sirota of the Center for American Progress notes, there are plenty of reasons this Goss nomination could turnout to boomerang into Bush’s face.
Among them are these:
Goss Blocked Efforts to Investigate Abu Ghraib
As chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Goss led a party-line vote to reject an amendment that would have "Increased oversight and investigated alleged prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib." [Congressional Quarterly, 6/17/04]
Goss Blocked Efforts to Investigate Ahmen Chalabi
As chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Goss led a party-line vote to reject an amendment that would have authorized an investigation into "U.S. dealings with Iraqi exile leader Ahmed Chalabi." Even after allegations that Chalabi has leaked U.S. military secrets to Iran, Goss said, "I would say that the oversight has worked well in matters relating to Mr. Chalabi."
