QUOTE WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Could someone without intelligence experience effectively lead the United States' top spy agency, particularly in a time of war? 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 don't pretend to be knowledgeable in this regard, but does the leader necessarily need to be experienced in the field? For instance, in business you have leaders of different departments that manage the individuals beneath them. The people doing the managing aren't necessarily the ones knowledgeable in that field, but they can run their subordinates and their subordinates do know what they're talking about. Could this be used as an analogy to Panetta & the CIA? Idk, maybe?
