Why is Everyone Freaking About Leon Panetta?

As usual, I think DIGBY has hit on the truth. I think Obama is making some really sound choices for our new government, including his choice of Panetta. The CIA needs the kind of cleaning up the French might do when it is time for them to riot in the streets and move on to a Sixth Republic. I don't think Panetta will act that boldly, but hopefully he will make the structural and moral changes the agency needs. He will be a true steward of Obama's vision I think.

And i can't wait for the spineless Democrats like Dianne Fienstein and all the others that have enabled the Bush Administration's trashing of the rule of law to be exposed for the hypocrites that they are.
