A history of incompetence:

http://www.allgov.com/news/appointments-and-resignations/director-of-the-central-intelligence-agency-who-is-john-brennan-130204?news=846960

... Since formally joining CIA in 1980, Brennan has held a variety of senior positions in the Agency. From 1984 to 1989, he served as an intelligence analyst in the Office of Near Eastern and South Asian Analysis. He was in charge of terrorism analysis in the DCI’s Counterterrorist Center between 1990 and 1992, including the first Gulf War.

He served as the CIA’s daily intelligence briefer for President Bill Clinton at the White House in 1994 and 1995, and then as executive assistant to then-Deputy DCI George Tenet from 1995 to 1996.

He served as CIA station chief in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from 1996 to 1999, when the Khobar Towers bombing killed 19 U.S. servicemen, deaths a subsequent investigation partly blamed on intelligence failures at CIA.

From 1999 to March 2001, he again directly served Tenet, who had risen to CIA Director, this time as Chief of Staff, followed by a stint as CIA Deputy Executive Director from March 2001 to 2003, the period when the agency missed growing signs of an impending terror attack on U.S. soil.

From 2003 to 2005 Brennan served as director of the newly created Terrorist Threat Integration Center and its successor agency, the National Counterterrorism Center, which compile information from other U.S. agencies for the President’s daily intelligence briefings.

In December 2003 he distributed intelligence, which was soon discredited, to the White House that led to a controversial “Orange Terror Alert” that proved groundless.

Leaving government in 2005, Brennan started his own company...

My son was at Khobar Towers when it was bombed. He wasn’t hurt, but could well have been. He sent me photos of the buildings with the front walls blown off.
I never knew Brennan was the CIA station chief in Saudi.
The contempt I’ve felt toward Brennan has grown even deeper, because now its personal.
And he has the audacity to suggest my President is treasonous!!!
