And the nomination for next Chief Spy is...

Knows how to get actionable intelliegence... 


Today everybody spent their energies on trying to discern the cause of Tenet's resignation.

Tomorrow everyone will spend their energies on predicting who will be the next Director of the CIA.

My suggestion would be to go with the former Midlle Eastern Proconsul, General Zini. Not because he opposed the attack on Iraq (debacle in the desert), but rather he knows the region and has worked with their leaders for years.

side note: Tenet said he was looking forward to working in the private sector. Of course he is. His first year's salary and signing bonus alone will be more than he earned all the years combined as chief spook.
