President Bush has chosen Rep. Porter Goss, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, to be the new director of the CIA and to lead the spy agency in thwarting terrorist attacks.
Bush announced the selection of the 65-year-old one-time Army and CIA intelligence operative at an 8:30 a.m. announcement in the White House Rose Garden.
The United States faces "determined enemies" who are more than willing to attack without warning, Bush said. "This threat is unprecedented, and to stop them from killing our citizens, we must have the best intelligence possible."
The CIA must be able to penetrate closed societies, overcome language barriers and cultures and "learn things that our adversaries don't want us to know," the president added.
