The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

Obama selected a carrier politician (Leon E. Panetta) to head the CIA.

After an initial WTF? Reaction I think I'm starting to like this appointment.

After all who uses the data the CIA gathers? Primarily the executive branch. Politicians. So why not have a politician guiding the agency to collect the type of data they can actually use? As long has he takes that type of roll and does not try to micromanage field ops this could work out OK.
