Molding Intelligence?

In light of the accusation that Dick Cheney pressured the CIA (and even went down to headquarters a few times to turn up the heat personally) to come up with intelligence supporting the Administration's WMD claims, I thought this tidbit was interesting:

Porter Goss, the administration's appointment last week as new head of the CIA —
whom we're told is eminently qualified, whom we're told is the best man for the
job, whom we're told has a long history with the Agency, whom we're told
President Bush is indeed honored to be able to announce for the post — was,
basically, Vice President Cheney's pick. The phrase actually attached to this
information is: Cheney felt "comfortable" with him. Felt he "could work with
him." What exactly that means, I don't know.
