Obama nominates Dennis Blair as National Intelligence Director

This choice of Barack Obama seems to be a very thought out and intelligent one. Dennis Blair has proved himself to be a very competent. It's refreshing to know that he has no significant ties to controversial Bush administration intelligence policies — such as offshore detentions, renditions and harsh interrogation of terror suspects — that Obama has criticized and promised to revamp. Obama also choice Leon Panetta as the CIA director, which Blair has embraced as being the best choice for the position. I feel these choices that have been made today will be central to the success of the intelligence efforts of the United States and the entire world. On a lighter note, I hope everyone's day is going great, as every day should. Stay tuned for further news about my day, and I'm sure more opportunities will arise as we continue this love Friday!
