John O. Brennan, a C.I.A. veteran Withdraws His Name

In his letter to Brennan argued, "It has been immaterial to the critics that I have been an opponent of many of the policies of the Bush admin such as the pre-emptive war & coercive interrogation tactics, waterboarding. The fact that I was not involved in the decision making process for any of these controversial policies and actions has been ignored."

The Liberal Bloggers and the radical left are proving to be extremely powerful in affecting the decisions that will be made with regard to some of the most important positions in an Obama Administration.

Those who think Obama is making centrist appointees must be projecting their own hopes that below the surface he will be a Pres for all Americans, make the right decisions. What you are seeing now is not very rosy, look at his pick Eric Holder for AG. The man is the CIAs worst nightmare besides pushing for FALN terrorist pardons. Brennen was a perfect left wing pick, but because he served in a Bush Admin, the lib bloggers, the loony left shot him down. Can you imagine what man WOULD be acceptable to them? Homeland Sec/AG/CIA-NOT looking all that good & I didn't even get to the Supeme Court!
