- <p> Influential supporters of ROBERT GATES complain that the
- White House is bungling his confirmation as Director of Central
- Intelligence. Instead of putting experienced handlers in charge,
- as was done with Judge Clarence Thomas, Bush waited until last
- month to assign the task to Andrew Card, a Sununu deputy with
- little congressional savvy. Already facing opposition in the
- Senate, Gates, whose confirmation hearings begin next week, will
- find the going even tougher as questions about the agency's
- role in Iran-contra continue to nag.
