So it was announced today that Petraeus would be CIA director and Panetta will be going to Defense.
I think Petraeus is a good selection, but not sure about Panetta.
The only reason I say that about Panetta, is I respect him for supporting the CIA when Pelosi attacked them, BUT, I don't know if he is too political.
I state that because he was in the Clinton administration as Chief of Staff, and he only spent 3 yrs in the military back in the 60's. His background appears to be more politics than military.
