10 Questions for Porter Goss

HOW LONG DO YOU PLAN TO STAY IN THIS JOB? How long are we going to be at war with the terrorists? It's going to be a while. We've got a lot to do. We're in the process of rebuilding here. I think this is our moment. I'm going to be here as long as the moment lasts. And I think it is going to last a while because we have the opportunity to build.

ARE YOU PERSONAL FRIENDS WITH NEGROPONTE? I went to school with him. We agreed that we wouldn't talk about Yale. John and I have a pact: I won't tell if you won't tell.

YOU'RE INTO ORGANIC GARDENING. HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? Mrs. Goss got a little horrified after she started reading the labels on some of the processed foods.

But the problem is, the critters take half of every plant. They're hard to sell. We haven't trained the critters yet which ones are theirs.
