Yeah, but look at what the catastrophic consequences of having a CIA lifer in that position have been for the country! Bush (CIA DCI), Clinton (CIA asset), Bush II (CIA DCI son), Obama (who knows where his controllers are from?). (BTW, I understand that Bush Sr. had a cover career, but dig around a little.)
And who is running this year, hmm??
A lazy people has themselves to blame.
For such wonderful CIA representation, America sure did a lousy job of knowing anything in advance about 9/11.
