Obama Picks Intel Chief
The L.A. Times reports that Barack Obama will select Navy Adm. Dennis C. Blair as his intelligence chief. In that role, Blair would oversee the operations of CIA prisons overseas, and be in charge of hot-button policies like wiretapping of phone lines and emails. The most visible blemish on his record is a forced resignation from a military think tank position because of conflict of interest complaints. By nominating the former head of the U.S. Pacific Command, Obama would continue the recent tradition of tapping military men to fill the country's top intelligence jobs. He's still undecided on a CIA chief, according to sources.
