I would go with DCI Porter Goss. He's got the background, and he's basically in the equivalent position already. I'd think that everyone that voted for him as DCI would just as well vote for him to be DNI.

None of the above.

Joe Lieberman? COME ON!

Jane Harmon is a Kalifornia Democrat!

The only political experience Hoekstra has is in the House. No military service and he wasn't born in the US.

Agree with NDD especially on the idea of Lieberman. The guy is for the birds.

I'd like to keep Porter Goss at CIA. From what I heard on the news, the new National Intelligence Director will not oversea CIAs clandestine operations, and with Porter Goss' background in the Directorate of Operations, I want want him there watching it closely.

That list can't be right. No way Harman is considered.

One of our lawyers ran against her recently and got his ass kicked! LOL Dumbass.
