Back in 2003, Republican Representative Porter Goss of Sanibel, Florida, who chairs the House's Select Committee on Intelligence, was quoted in the South Florida Herald Tribune regarding the outing of Valerie Plame by the administration: "I would say there's a much larger dose of partisan politics going on right now than there is worry about national security."
Unbelievably, Goss went on to say "Somebody sends me a blue dress and some DNA, I'll have an investigation."
It just so happens that Goss is now the leading candidate to replace Tenet as head of the CIA.
Yeah, he'll have the full respect of his people, after publicly downplaying the seriousness of keeping undercover agents secret and safe.
I'm just glad he, for one, has steered clear of partisan politics.
