"Obama is not yet ready to name his intelligence advisers,"
I wonder who he will name as his "intelligence advisers"??
==================================

http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/news/2008/11/obama_to_name_4_more_cabinet_p.php

<snip>
Obama's announcements include members of his national security team and beyond, completing the nominations for one-third of his Cabinet as he moves quickly to assemble the country's new leadership in times of war and a troubled economy.

His selections include some of his most loyal campaign advisers and notably some who were not, including Democratic primary rival Clinton and President Bush's defense secretary, Robert Gates, staying in his current post.

Obama also planned to name Washington lawyer Eric Holder as attorney general and Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano as homeland security secretary, according to Democratic officials. He also planned to announce two senior foreign policy positions outside the 15-member Cabinet: campaign foreign policy adviser Susan Rice as U.N. ambassador and retired Marine General James L. Jones as national security adviser.

<snip>
Last week, he named key members of his economic team, including Timothy Geithner, president of Federal Reserve Bank of New York, as treasury secretary. Obama is not yet ready to name his intelligence advisers, one Democratic official said.

3. I trust they will be people who (a) saw 9-11 coming and (b) knew there were no WMDs in Iraq
Yes, indeedy, I believe there will be.

5. Do you care who he names as his intelligence advisers??
I would think that would be something you would be very concerned about?? Sometimes it is hard to figure where you are coming from, BlooInBloo?
