The FBI can help a ton in developing people on hard evidence gathering, etc.

NSA continues this because so much of the world is going electronic that SIGINTS can do more than ever.

None of it matters if the process lacks chemistry.
it really doesn’t seem to have a true winner if key ingredients from each group can;t be relied upon to paint a full picture.

The fact remains that human capabilities take the greatest prominence and require people with that kind of experience to develop them. This isn’t an ad in the classifieds or Spam mailing recruitment we’re talking about.

Can you address the tactical strengths of each IC mainstay involved and apply those items to the Company’s handling of human assets?

Military people directing recruitment of contacts would be a wag the dog kind of action where we end up looking for development of certain justifications.

Also, it’s a bit hard to do anything covert regarding uniformed contacts, it kind of signals who to watch, for the people we want to develop contacts on. We can’t help them in such ways.

Does this include contractors? I think they are called Blue cards?

makes ya wonder why any one in their right mind would ever want to work for this twisted pretzel logic government

I don’t recall this kind of incompetence and disrespect of the constitution and law when I was serving under Jimmy and RayGUN!

Could it be that I was not paying as much attention? Or have we changed dimensions ?

;;shiver;;

Oh maybe one…the boneheaded move thing, but that was after realizing the only way to play it was to pay it.

Still, Mr. Johnson raises an issue that makes me wonder if BO is being briefed at all. I mean if this came across my plate, it would get squared away long before it became an AP story.

These turf battles get people dead. BO take the heat? HA!

The same should apply to the CIA and Military. Whatever your area of expertise is – only people in that area should be considered and the criteria should be their depth of experience. I thought the CIA did a magnificent job at the beginning in Afghanistan. They obviously knew what they were doing.

This all is the end result of having an amateur President and everyone thinking it’s OK that he had no experience that would qualify him for the job.

Actually, the situation is even worse than you portrayed it. Under DNI Human Resources “level playing field, one size fits all” plan, anyone in any member agency of the intelligence community can apply for any COS job. All would have to be advertised community wide. A community-wide assignment panel would choose the COS. Just think of the implications of this.

Since you don’t have to be eligible under the Constitution or have experience to be POTUS, I guess the whole chaos is working to plan for BHO, huh?

Interesting

Sorry for the Off Topic comment. Nobody seems to be able to make these torture allegations stick to Obama, but this dealergate….WOW!
