More Fahrenheit 911 Controversy

Posted by:

Michael Moore yesterday released unseen footage of the new CIA boss explaining his own unsuitability for the role. The scene, which didn't make the cut for Fahrenheit 9/11, shows Porter Goss pointing out that his lack of language and computer skills means he "wouldn't get a job" with the CIA.

A couple of quotes that will be likely included in the uncut dvd are:

Goss, who served in army intelligence and the CIA 30 years ago, said:

"I couldn't get a job with the CIA today. I am not qualified. I don't have the language skills."

Porter Goss is set to take over from George Tenet, who resigned before the 9/11 commission delivered its damning verdict on the state of the US intelligence community. He explained,

"My language skills were romance languages and stuff. We're looking for Arabists today. I don't have the cultural background probably.
"And I certainly don't have the technical skills, as my children remind me every day: 'Dad, you got to get better on your computer.' So, the things that you need to have, I don't have."

The White House dismissed the footage. Lets just say that if he is good enough for Bush he should be good enough for everyone. Excuse me while i go have a good chuckle. Michael Moore is king of pissing folks off with the FACTS.
