The Washington Post is reporting that Fiji RPCV and Congressman Chris Shays is on Bush's short list to run the Central Intelligence Agency. "The likelihood of their choosing me, I think, is fairly remote," Shays said but added that he would consider the job if it were offered. Meanwhile Shays is in a competitive race for his seat in Connecticut. What do you think?

In Valedictory, Tenet Defends CIA From Past, Present Critics

[Excerpt]

Although a Tenet successor is not expected to be named today, the White House continues to indicate it may propose a replacement in the next few days, which would give the Senate less than two weeks to act before Congress goes into recess.

Among those said to be under consideration is Deputy Secretary of State Richard L. Armitage, who, as a friend of Tenet's, attended yesterday's ceremony. Armitage, according to two senior Democrats on the intelligence panel, is probably the only Bush appointee who could win bipartisan support at this late date.

According to a senior Bush official, others being considered are deputy national security adviser Stephen J. Hadley, former senator Sam Nunn (D-Ga.), Reps. Christopher Cox (R-Calif.) and Christopher Shays (R-Conn.). Rep. Porter J. Goss (R-Fla.), a former CIA case officer and chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, was an early favorite, but Democrats objected to him. Another candidate mentioned in media accounts, former Navy secretary John F. Lehman, is not among those being actively considered, an official said.
