Obama 'to name James Clapper as intelligence director'

BBC

President Barack Obama is to nominate retired Gen James Clapper, a top Pentagon official, as his next intelligence chief, an administration official has told the BBC.

Gen Clapper would replace Adm Dennis Blair, who resigned in May after a run of security failures, as director of national intelligence (DNI).

He would oversee 16 agencies in the intelligence community as the new DNI. Gen Clapper is expected to be nominated at a White House ceremony on Saturday.

It's going to be a long siege, if he gets the job at all.

"Gen Clapper is likely to have a tough time winning over Capitol Hill."
