Two Democratic sources told CNN on Monday that President-elect Barack Obama will nominate longtime Washington power broker Leon Panetta to lead the Central Intelligence Agency. The news provoked strong emotions in political and intelligence circles. full story what do you guys think about appointing someone to lead the CIA who doesn't have intelligence experience? |

I like change... sometimes.
But I want change from someone that actually knows something about running the CIA. I don't think budget experience, or his term with Clinton as Chief of Staff prepares him for expertise with the CIA. There has to be someone that aligns with Obama's agenda that is more qualified than him. Leon's nomination makes me nervous. |
