I am somewhat concerned about people with no experience in intelligence gathering being in charge of intelligence gathering.

Let's compare it to Donuts.....

Panetta does not know how to bake donuts or the steps to mix up the tasty jelly filling.

What Panetta does know is the catering business. He can tell you how many donuts he's going to need for a given client function and what percentage of each type (cake, jelly filled, etc...) they should be. Panetta then just needs to relate to the bakers what his needs are and let them get on with subverting baking.
