It has been announced this afternoon that Obama has named Leon Panetta, for Clinton Chief of Staff to head up the Central Intelligence Agency(CIA). This begs the question: since Panetta has no experience in this area is it necessary to have someone who does? Dianne Feinstein (D), Senator from California seemed perplexed with the announcement. According to her no one informed her of the selection. She will lead the intelligence committee so one can imagine that she is po'd at the oversight.
Is it only me who thinks this appointment is just plain ridiculous. I'd like to think we could supply someone with knowledge of overseas affairs to head the agency to help keep our behinds safe. Then again, if you'll recall, there was absolutely no cooperation between the FBI and CIA during the Clinton years. It was administrative policy established by White House lawyer, Jamie Gorelick to build a "wall of silence"; no shared information between the agencies. Democrats! Ugh!
