There are reports that John Brennan is Obama’s “favorite to be nominated director of the Central Intelligence Agency." I haven’t paid too much attention to Brennan over the years but when both Glenn Greenwald of Salon and Andrew Sullivan of The Atlantic raise concerns, it puts Brennan on my radar. The Huffington Post has a good overview article which might be a nice place to start.
Note, however, that there have just been reports (i.e. ”leaks“) that Brennan is Obama’s choice -- it may prove false.
Thanks to Erica B. for bringing this to my attention.
