Who should be in charge of the CIA ?

[kentuck]

General James Jones has already been nominated as head of the National Security team and will, no doubt, have a big say in intelligence "decisions". But the head of the CIA will be in charge of the everyday running of the Organization.

Will it be someone that already knows and has worked with General Jones? Will it be another military man? Will it be another former General?

Or will it be someone with more experience in the Department? Someone that knows how the system works already? Or will Obama appoint someone to "fix" the system? Who would be the best choice?

3. The one that no one knows about...

The one that is in myth only. :-)

4. Director of National Intelligence (DNI) ...

is now the highest position in the intelligence community. The CIA director is lower.

Most speculation on Obama's choice for DNI has centered on retired Navy Admiral Dennis C. Blair.

5. Thanks nsd..

This will be a very interesting and telling pick by Obama, in my opinion.

6. Russ Finegold, Dennis Kucinich or Henry Waxman

7. Dennis K nor Feingold wouldn't last longer than a New York minute

with that malodorous bunch.

Waxman might last 1.5 minutes.

Savvy?

8. Valerie Plame
