We should really have a Ninja division, if there isn't already... As if anyone would know about it. Damn now I'm even more paranoid than I was before!

[DavidPennable]

@BinkieMcFartnuggets oooh, like Gray Fox from Metal Gear? I'm in, if it doesn't involve crashing coke filled CIA enhanced interrogation aircraft during a fake drug war propaganda machine.

The last thing I would do in my company is elevate someone who knows about my company from the outside looking in, but has never operated in it, to the highest position available. 'Nonsensical', in every meaning of the word.

[karinablack]

A parallel: A CEO from GE moved to Life Technologies- GE has aspects of what LT does, the CEO understands the basis of operations, but the job of a CEO doesn't especially change because the nature of the company does- his job description is still the same. As is an accountant or janitor.

Having a background of mergers and acquisitions for a fortune 500 Company, I can see and even validate your opinion. However, even in enormous corporate mergers and acquisitions the failure rate is very high without consulting the new acquirers for several years after a transition. Its doable, just nonsensical with the vast options, other than Mr. Blair, at hand.

[JonasPlanck]

all the more reason to deny them birth control! That's simply not enough people to swell the ranks of our zombie armies!

[WhoRonPaul]

and the cia benefits modern society how?

[JonasPlanck]

In the immortal words of Ren Hoek: "That's just it! We'll never know! Maybe something good, maybe something bad... but we'll NEVER KNOW!!! a- hee hee!"

Is it intelligent to hire someone to head an agency that does not understand Intelligence? How can anyone move from another line of business and head a completely foreign one to his understanding? Repulsive.

[placidwaves]

You fail to understand the purpose of obama pick.

The new hire does understand the agency, but is not in the currently in the agency. He is more of an outsider.

Much like you are an outsider of particular organizations, but you entirely or partially understand what the organization does, need, and stand for.

[MuslimWisdom]

Your comment is ridiculous. Read your post, and I'm sure you will find it amusing yourself. Especially, the last sentence.

I'm also very sure that most of America is well aware of Dennis Blairs background.

[placidwaves]

if my last post was ridiculous, then it only so because i am as wise as your prophet

[karinablack]

Another line of business may incorporate vital aspects of "intelligence," which itself has a broad spectrum of meaning.

Considering the "intelligence" of our previous administration, I consider a break from status quo a positive.

Hopefully, what he is saying is we're gonna end the practice of torture or at least put some limitations on it. In other words no more Abu Grahibs.

[karinablack]

He's pledged to close the prison within the first few months of taking office. That's why the sudden increase and speed in trials.

[midwestcharm]

Oh no, more of the same.........

[TylerNull]

Evidently, the hollow rhetoric of "CHANGE!" means Clinton-redux.

[snowtrot]

Haha, no kidding. Apparently Obama and Paul were crossed somewhere along the way.

[ninanwk69]

Panetta??? Oh fuck!
