This move by Goss will make the country safer?

This makes no sense whatsoever.

The daily 5 o'clock meeting at CIA headquarters that for the past three years has coordinated tactical counterterrorism operations involving senior CIA, FBI, Pentagon and Homeland Security Department officials has been cut back by new CIA Director Porter J. Goss to three a week, according to current and former administration and intelligence officials.

The sessions were initiated by former CIA director George J. Tenet because of the failures of coordination among intelligence agencies before Sept. 11, 2001. He used the sessions to push the agencies to carry out specific activities, whether at home or abroad. The meetings were continued by Tenet's former deputy, John E. McLaughlin, while he was acting director and initially by Goss.
Link.

Tenet may have been a poor Director of Central Intelligence, but this post-9/11 meeting was simply good policy. Goss, in an effort to expel all things Tenet, has unfortunately just chosen to get rid of a good program for the sake of partisanship. Is the nation safer because of this?
