PR Week's Douglas Quenqua applauds "how effortlessly George Bush [3] changed the conversation last week. Political debate ... had centered on the 9/11 Commission [4]'s recommendations." This was problematic, since "John Kerry [5] unhesitatingly endorsed implementation of every recommendation - and quickly passed Bush's poll numbers on matters of national security." But Bush's nomination of Rep. Porter Goss [6] for CIA director shifted attention to "Goss and what the Democrats were going to do to stop the nomination - something Bush had counted on." Newsweek reports [7] that Goss' recently introduced "intelligence reform" bill "would enable the president to issue secret findings allowing the CIA to conduct covert operations inside the United States - without even any notification to Congress."
