Uber-leftie Michael Moore has an interesting take on the nomination of Florida congressman Porter Goss to be head of the CIA. Making the case that Goss doesn't deserve confirmation, Moore told Reuters:

"The reality is that Porter Goss was in charge of the oversight of the CIA during a time when the CIA didn't do its job, which in part resulted in the loss of lives of 3,000 people," he said via telephone from New York.

John Kerry and John Edwards, who are running to be the CIA director's employers, were both members of the Senate Intelligence Committe "during a time when the CIA didn't do its job, which in part resulted in the loss of lives of 3,000 people."
