08/19/2004 Archived Entry: "Claire on Goss"

This from Claire Wolfe's blog: "PORTER GOSS, GWB'S NOMINEE FOR HEAD OF THE CIA wants the agency to spy on and arrest Americans. NPR also quotes Goss as saying that one often has to make a choice between "dead brother and Big Brother" and that Big Brother is the better choice. (I've been hoping to verify that quote since NPR first ran the item on August 11. But so far, they're the only source I've found for it.)"

Update from Claire: "PORTER GOSS REALLY DID make the "Big Brother" remark. Here he is, live on RealPlayer. (And thank you, Joel, for ferreting out that weasel.)"
