Panetta to CIA

Obama picked former Clinton Deputy Chief of Staff Leon Panetta to head the CIA. Not sure if I like this- Panetta has no intelligence experience whatsoever and is yet another mouldy Clintonite. I acknowledge that a certain amount of cherry-picking from past Democratic Administrations is going to be inevitable- but I would have thought that he would want someone with just a touch more experience in the world of intelligence. Lord knows we need wholesale reform of those institutions and people who know their way around might be able to do that better than pure outsiders.

Just sayin.'
