Obama's First Cabinet Screw Up: Panetta at CIA

Well, I guess Obama wanted a new look at CIA but he just gave the top intelligence post to a person that seems inexperienced in that field. From reading his biography it seems he would make a great head of Conservation because he did lots of Marine conservation work on the California Coast. The Committees he was on was Budget, Agriculture, Police, and Domestic Hunger. There was no Intelligence Committee anything in that roundup.

I guess he got the job because he was the chief of operations and planning of the intelligence section when he was in the Army from 1964-1966. You would think that Obama would want to get a career CIA guy with a Dem leaning in there. I'm not sure how well Panetta will work with the career spies that the CIA already has in place.

I guess Obama wants a total outsider as the head so that they stop the extraordinary rendition, warrantless wiretapping, and coercive interrogations that the CIA carried out. I really hope that we got all the information we could out of the terrorist scumbags that we have in custody because the Intel train has just pulled into the station.
