Michael Morell
Now the acting director, Morell served as deputy CIA director to Petraeus since 2010. He has been the agency’s director of Asian Pacific and Latin American Analysis and the briefer of presidents on national security matters.
In that position, according to a White House aide, Morell often briefed Obama as the United States closed in on Osama bin Laden, earning the president’s trust and developing a close relationship with him.
Morell is “extraordinarily well respected in the White House, across the intelligence community and throughout the national security establishment,” the aide said, discussing the deputy’s elevation to acting director.
The smartest thing Petraeus did was to form a partnership early on with Michael Morell, who was acting director before his arrival and resumed that role Friday. Morell is a career analyst and veteran of the mill that produces the famous “PDB,” or president’s daily brief, and he knew the agency’s culture — or at least the analysts’ version of it. His task was to encourage Petraeus when his commander’s instincts made sense for the agency, and dissuade him when his ideas were counter-productive.
Michael J. Morell: Introducing the CIA’s New Acting Director
Of course the problem is- there is NO ONE we can actually trust. It’s possible that Griffin’s source was not telling the truth- or that it was a cover story THEY were making up.
It’s hard to believe that NO requests for help were requested. I seem to remember audio tapes while it was going on that asked for help..
If he had an order to send something into the battle then he was acting as the POTOS claims top have ordered the Military.
So WHY???
Why then does he AND the Admiral get fired?!!!!!!
They WERE executing what the President ordered them to do, but they are now arrested and demoted.
