What is being said
Ever since the 9-11 terrorist attacks, President Bush has kept this nation safe. Not even the Left can deny that one. But President-elect Barack Obama's choice of Leon Panetta to head the CIA (U.S. Intelligence) is extremely dangerous to the safety of this nation. The guy has no experience in intelligence.
President-elect Barack Obama said yesterday that he has selected a "top-notch intelligence team" that would provide the "unvarnished" information his administration needs, rather than "what they think the president wants to hear."But current and former intelligence officials expressed sharp resentment over Obama's choice of Leon E. Panetta as CIA director and ...
... Here's his chief qualification for the job, as near as I can tell. Whether this means Obama's ready to junk the whole Bush interrogation apparatus or whether he merely wants Panetta as cover to quietly retain certain parts of it -- or certain personnel, like Brennan, in lower-profile deputy roles -- I guess we'll see. Meanwhile, Brian Faughnan at Red State forwards an interesting passage from the CIA Library on Panetta's spending priorities while head of Clinton's budget office. Read it now, because the GOP's bound to reference it at the confirmation hearing. Exit quotation: "Was Panetta wrong about the threats the U.S. faces in the 1990s, or was he simply too drive by green eyeshades over national security? Either way, the picture isn't pretty." ...

Both of them evidently wanted Steve Kappes, whose recommendation reportedly led the agency to ban waterboarding.
Wow. Today is just one big, bad joke. Al Franken. Roland Burris. Bill Richardson. Now this:Leon Panetta will head Obama's CIA.Another day, another clueless Clinton crony named to a top job for which he has no experience. The unqualified fish rots from the head down, after all. Via NYT. Damned scary:
I'm still trying to figure THIS one out, but then it stands to reason that Zero - he being totally inexperienced and unqualified to assume the role he unfortunately for America WILL assume in a few weeks - would appoint an equally unqualified and inexperienced retread Clinton political hack to a critically important role in his administration.... While Leon Panetta doesn't have experience in the intelligence world, he served on the Iraq Study Group, a bipartisan panel that released a report at the end of 2006 with dozens of recommendations for the reversing course in the Iraq war. ...
