Getting It Just Right
Who's gotten it just right? President Bush in nominating General Hayden to run the CIA, and Jack Kelly in his assessment of the nomination and the factors behind it.
Friends on the Hill that I trust are well satisfied with Hayden. From everything I've heard, he sounds like a great choice.

Main question:
Will he continue - better yet, intensify - the removal of partisan hacks from the CIA?
Next:
Will he preside over improvements in intelligence gathering and analysis?
The answer to the first question is a prerequisite to the success of the second.
I posted the above comment before I read Jack Kelly's article. When I pulled up the article, the headline was,"Cleaning Out at CIA Will Intensify Under Hayden"
Cool.
By the way, Jack Kelly has become a daily "must read" for me. I would encourage others to check him out regularly.
"Hayden’s nomination is one more chapter in the Bush administration’s campaign to simultaneously punish the CIA for not completely rolling over in the run-up to the war and blame it for suckering the Congress and public into the worst foreign policy disaster in a generation. It’s quite a card trick for the president and vice president to slice and dice the info to their needs, add homegrown material from Rumsfeld’s shop as needed, and then claim we were all fooled by the same faulty data." -- Margaret Carlson
