Gates Hearing Tuesday

28 November 2006 | Programming | Ernesto Aguilar

Next Tuesday, 8-5. KPFT will air a special live gavel-to-gavel broadcast of the U.S. Senate Armed Services Full Committee Hearing on the nomination of Robert M. Gates to be Secretary of Defense. Gates is President Bush’s pick to replace Donald H. Rumsfeld. He is currently the President of Texas A&M University, but has a long history of serving under five presidents in various national security and intelligence positions, including Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) from 1991-93. His nomination hearings for DCI in 1991 were very controversial due to sharp testimonies by CIA analysts on his reputation for pressuring them to manipulate and slant intelligence to support policies and his suspect role in the Iran-Contra scandal.
