Ex-CIA chief, former sheriff grapple with the whys of Wednesday s Capitol chaos
Though myriad questions swirl around Wednesday’s events in Washington, DC, the former head of the CIA is sure of one thing: The intrusion wasn’t a failure of security; it was someone s political decision.
Sanibel s Porter Goss, who spent more than a decade in the CIA after graduating from Yale, was also a Republican Congressman from 1989 until 2004, then took the helm of what’s now the Central Intelligence Agency.
During that time, Goss helped engineer the post-911 hardening of internal defenses nationwide as well as in DC. “I was very much involved in the gates, guns and guards type of security that we put into the capitol 20 years ago.”
