Who’s Going to Run C.I.A.?
BY TAYLOR MARSH
The Bush administration’s nod to torture, while denying reality, certainly has set the C.I.A. in for a rough transition period under Obama. It’s not going to make the president-elect’s job any easier either.
For C.I.A., it just might mean Mike Hayden. No, I’m not kidding. One word: FISA. Make that three words, adding Thin Thread …and “the left” thought Brennan was bad?
Since John Brennan removed his named from consideration there has been a noticeable and pronounced silence on this subject from Obama’s team. That hasn’t kept a rhetorical war from breaking out with fingers being pointed at “the left,” now in the compra levitra online target zone from inside the C.I.A. Jeff Stein from CQ caused a ruckus with his reporting below, ending up in Glenn Greenwald’s sights today.
I was not involved in the firestorm that erupted over John Brennan (see here, here). My opposition to him revolved around his viewpoints on rendition, as well as his defense of them.
However, if President Obama stops the practice of rendition the ties to Bush’s legacy are cut, with anyone heading C.I.A., including Brennan, made to enforce Obama’s policies.
Watching the clip with Brennan, his description of rendition is less than transparent, talking about warrants getting in the way of questioning suspected terrorists, etc. The process of “rendering viagra somebody from one place to another place” hardly the end of the story.
