President-elect Barack Obama

Brennan for CIA? Seriously?

Okay, if this is accurate, then it'd be my first serious objection to a post-election Team Obama decision.

Democratic and national security sources say that former National Counterrorism Center head John Brennan remains the favorite to be nominated director of the Central Intelligence Agency even as his pending appointment raises the hackles of some Obama advisers because of his ties to George Tenet and controversial programs.

Brennan is a conservative Cheney disciple who endorsed torture and renditions, and pushed the Bush doctrine during the run-up to the Iraq invasion and occupation. No sir. I don't like it.

The CIA needs less crazy -- not more crazy.
