Leon Panetta

How does one, without any law enforcement background that I know of, go from being a presidential chief of staff to Director of the CIA?

But haven’t you followed that Panetta is now Secretary of Defense, too, and that General Petraeus is at CIA?

Has there ever been a CIA Director with a law enforcement background?

Military background? Yes. Several.

Political background? Yes. Several.

Law enforcement background? I can't think of a single one.
