agency head? Or do you not understand the different skills required for each
role? Or perhaps you do understand both, understand that this article really
says nothing, but hope that others don't see it that way?
Just curious, that's all.

Subject: Goss says Goss isn't qualified
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Congressman Porter Goss, President Bush's
nominee for CIA director, could be his own worst enemy when it comes to making
the case that he deserves to lead the U.S. intelligence agency.
"I couldn't get a job with CIA today. I am not qualified," the Florida
Republican told documentary-maker Michael Moore's production company during
the filming of the anti-Bush movie "Fahrenheit 9/11."
A day after Bush picked Goss for the top U.S. spy job, Moore on Wednesday
released an excerpt from a March 3 interview in which the 65-year-old former
House of Representatives intelligence chief recounts his lack of
qualifications for employment as a modern CIA staffer.
"I don't have the language skills. I, you know, my language skills were
romance languages and stuff. We're looking for Arabists today. I don't have
the cultural background probably," Goss is quoted in an interview transcript.
