And how does this pertain to Intelligence post 9/11? This is a political appointment period. We have a political hack doing a serious job post 9/11. This smacks of stupidity. We should have a hardcore CIA field operative with years of experience in charge, not the former President Clinton's former Chief of Staff. It was former President Clinton who for political reasons let bin Laden go. President Elect Obama is playing games with the Nation's security.

At least 41 had some dealings with other nations as an UN Ambassador.
And the China Envoy was the same as an ambassadorship, which the US did not have in China at the time.

Apples and oranges, post 9/11.
