Globalresearch.ca Sept. 20, 2004:

 

Rep. Porter J. Goss (R-Fla.) was nominated by President Bush to head the Central

Intelligence Agency, pending confirmation of the Senate.

 

Hearings began Tuesday, Sept. 14. The chairman of the Senate Select Committee on

Intelligence, Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.), is conducting Rep. Goss's committee

confirmation hearing. The committee's vice chairman is Sen. John D. Rockefeller

IV (D-W.Va.). The other Republican committee members include: Sen. Orrin G.

Hatch (Utah), Sen. Mike Dewine (Ohio), Sen. Christopher S. Bond (Mo.), Sen.

Trent Lott (Miss.), Sen. Olympia J. Snowe (Maine), Sen. Chuck Hagel (Neb.), Sen.

Saxby Chambliss (Ga.) and Sen. John W. Warner (Va.).

 

Democratic committee members include: Sen. Carl Levin (Mich.), Sen. Dianne

Feinstein (Calif.), Sen. Ron Wyden (Ore.), Sen. Richard J. Durbin (Ill.), Sen.

Evan Bayh (Ind.), Sen. John Edwards (N.C.) and Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski (Md.).

 

A simple majority of senators on the Intelligence Committee must first vote to

approve of Goss's appointment. Goss is a Republican, nominated by a Republican

president, and if the vote were to fall along party lines, the Republicans hold

a one-seat majority on the committee.

 

Then a simple majority of senators must vote to confirm Goss's appointment.

 

If your senator is a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, tell

him/her to ask Mr. Goss about his established personal relationship to the Head

of Pakistan Military Intelligence (ISI), General Mahmoud Ahmad, who according to

the Washington Post " ran a spy agency notoriously close to Osama bin Laden and

the Taliban " (Washington Post, 18 May 2002).

 

According to intelligence sources and the FBI, General Mahmoud Ahmad allegedly

played an undercover role in channeling financial support to the 9/11 hijackers.

In late August 2001, barely a couple of weeks before September 11,

Representative Porter Goss together with Senator Bob Graham and Senator Jon Kyl

were on a top level intelligence mission in Islamabad.

 

Meetings were held with President Pervez Musharraf and with Pakistan's military

and intelligence brass including the head of Pakistan?s Inter Services

Intelligence (ISI) General Mahmoud Ahmad.

 

The ISI headed by General Ahmad was allegedly also involved in ordering the

assassination of the leader of the Northern Alliance, General Ahmed Shah

Massood. (http://globalresearch.ca/articles/CHO309B.html )

 

The Pakistani General's host on Capitol Hill during his official visit to

Washington was Rep. Porter Goss, Bush's nominee for the position of Director of

Central Intelligence.

 

In fact, on the morning of September 11, Porter Goss was hosting a breakfast

meeting on Capitol Hill in honor of General Ahmad, the alleged " money-man " (to

use the FBI's expression) behind the 9/11 hijackers.

 

The 9/11 breakfast meeting was described by one press report as a " follow-up

meeting " to that held in Pakistan in late August 2001, barely two weeks before

9/11.

 

Tell your Senator to vote " NO " on confirmation of Porter Goss as head of the

CIA.
