Goss took a hard line on interrogations in interviews with The Associated Press earlier this year, saying "Gee you're breaking my heart" to complaints that Arab men found it abusive to have women guards at the Guantanamo Bay terror camp statements that could draw scrutiny during his Senate confirmation hearing, possibly next week. During one interview in May, the eight-terHouse Republican from Florida said he couldn't count the number of ongoing prison abuse investigations, but "we've got the circus in the Senate, which is always the likely place to look for the circus."

If Goss gets the top post at OA as is expected, the former House Intelligence Committee chairman would be only the second director who was also a member of Congress, foUowing former congressman and president George H.W. Bush. Vhile in Congress, Goss has fought criticism that he lacks the objectivity necessary to conduct oversight in Congress because he worked for the CIA during the 1960s. "Some people say I am a toady for the agency. Some people say 4 am too hard on the agency. It depends where you are coming from," Goss said in March, after he launched into a1 criticism about how the agency' in the 1990s had developed a i "nice-spie- s problem" and was afraid to do business with unsa . vory sources. Goss talks often about the importance of oversight. He traveled to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba,' shortly after the Defense De-partment opened a holding fa-1 city there in 2001. . "We were very concerned that Guantanamo was being sef up by the military to get the Good Housekeeping seal of ap- proval because the Internation-- ! al Corrirnittee of the Red Cross 1 and the human rights people were there en masse, baying in' large crowds with cameras, and making sure that these people " who were trying to kill us and btow up airplanes ... that these nice, friendly people would be reviving aH the necessary amenities of Good Housekeep- ' ing," Goss said in May. for-thHe said it took some time military to establish the ap--' propriate interrogation systems, but he personally saw no human rights abuses. 1 e $.50 $1.50 Florida prepares for Frances New subscriptions, restarts, delivery or billing Information, 3 call weekdays from 6 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. NEWS EDITORS 375-510- Metro Editor Donna Rutek 344-256- MEMBER, AUDIT BUREAU OF drutekheraldextra.com t.D muiwn people wiu 10 ciear om; CIRCULATION Qty Editor Marc Haddock storm expected to hit this morning 344-258- 6 mhaddockheraldextra.com ADVERTISING Editorial Page Editor Donald W.

Any reproduction 344-256- - ' Res- idents and tourists in cars, trucks and campers clogged highways Thursday in the biggest evacuation ever ordered in Florida, fleeing inland as mighty Hurricane Frances threatened the state with its second battering in three weeks. About 2.5 million residents were told to clear out ahead of what could be the most powerful storm to hit Florida in a decade. Other people in the stretch covered by the hurricane warning rushed to forti- fy their homes with plywood and storm shutters, and buy water, gas and canned food. Already a Category 4 storm with 140 mph winds and the potential to push ashore waves up to 15 feet high, Frances could make itself felt in the state by midmorning today.

This could be the first time since 1950 that two major storms have hit Florida so close together.

The comments are interesting not only because they show Goss' more guarded approach to Congress' key oversight role on intelligence matters, but also because of the criticism of his Senate colleagues, who win decide whether to confirm him as Bush's intelligence chief. "It seems to me pulling the general in charge of the troops in a hostile combat situation back to explain something that they don't need him for, and he doesnt have the answers to, and he could get the information through subordinates anyway it seems to me to be some very stylish interpretation of oversight," Goss said, "and probably unnecessary and perhaps not helpful to the war effort." "I am not comfortable with what the Senate is doing," he added. Goss urged patience then as 344-257- btregaskisheraidextra.com i Friday, September 32004 HERALD - K W iifiiir Maori of state. Charley's example and Frances' tremendous size, at 1,000 miles across, or about as big as the state of Texas prodded people like Linda 58, to get out of the way. Silvestri, who lives in Palm Bay on the central Florida coast, headed inland to Gainesville to be near a hospital because she just received a kidney trans-- " plant. "I hope I have a house when I get back," she said. The hurricane warning covered most of the state's eastern coast, from Florida City, near the state's southern tip, to Flagler Beach, north of Daytona Beach. Forecasters could not say with certainty where Frances would come ashore, just that it would strike late today or early Saturday. About 14.6 million of Florida's 17 million people live in the areas under hurricane watches and warnings. Residents and tourists streamed inland in bumper-to-bumptrafficTraffic backed up for miles on sections of Interstate 95, the main north-sout- h highway along the state's east coast, and was also heavy on parts of which crosses the peninsula to connect Daytona Beach, Orlando and Tampa. Geoff Connors of Fort Pierce sat in a line of about 50 cars in slowly merging onto Fort Pierce. He had enough . cash and clothes to get through about five days, though he wasn't sure where he would end up. "I figured it was smarter to get out of here now. It was a snap decision," Connors said. Most people who were told to . er 4, leave were in South Florida 300,000 in Palm Beach County, 250,000 in Broward County and 320,000 in Miami-Dad- e (jounty. All of Miami Beach, with its Art Deco hotels and flashy nightclubs and restaurants, was under an evacuation order. The storm and the evacuations it forces are certain to spoil Labor Day outings and make a mess of holiday travel across the Southeast. Erika and Brian Marwood, who moved from Colorado to Orlando two months ago and huddled in their bathroom with glow sticks and candles while Charley rushed overhead, made their way this time to a Holiday IhninTifron,Ga. "We thought we were doing a good thing getting away from the snow, but there are no hurricanes in Colorado," Erika Marwood said. Gov. Jeb Bush asked his brother President Bush to declare Florida a federal disaster area and make storm victims eligible for recovery aid. Federal officials promised they had enough people and supplies in the state to handle two disaster-relie- f operations at once. . "We were successful with Charley because we were massive, overwhelming and fast. For this event I want us to be massive, cverwhelming and fast squared," said Michael Brown, director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. People flocked to airports, hoping to get out before afl flights were grounded. Some trudged through long lines at ticket counters only to find their flights had been canceled. Hotels and motels inland filled up, and gas stations ran dry. Florida rescinded tolls on major roads and said lanes on some highways may be re versed to handle the evacuation traffic State officials hoped to f avoid a repeat of the mess dur-- ; ing Hurricane Floyd in 1999, when 1.3 million people were told to evacuate the state's east coast and traffic backed up 30 J miles or more. '. The Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral was ordered completely evacuated for the first time because of the dual threats of high wind and storm surge. Many businesses along the Atlantic coast began closing Wednesday. Stores that were ' open were stripped of bottled water and canned goods, and long lines formed outside home supply stores as people hoped for a chance to buy scarce plywood or generators.
