Leon Panetta to the CIA
Point /
Counter-point
The left and the right appear to be receiving the Panetta appointment to the CIA with mild approval, not despite of his lack of intelligence credentials but because of his lack of intelligence credentials-- he is non-witty, to use CIA-speak.
The Daily Kos views it as an innoculation by someone not effected by the CIA culture of rendition and torture. The National Review views him as a political craftsmen who will respond to national policy rather than to aging insider spooks.
Change is coming to The Firm.
