So what's the deal with John Brennan? Is he a sexist jerk or merely a hypocrite? This is the clown, you'll recall, who insists on referring to Jerusalem as "al-Quds." What's that about?
DAMAGE AT THE CIA
CIA director John Brennan apparently has decided to postpone and reverse the appointment of the first woman to head the CIA directorate of operations (which controls all covert operations and spying). According to press reports, Brennan has prevented the woman, whose identity is classified, from assuming the post because of her involvement with the interrogation and detention decisions after 9/11. According to the Post, she is already the acting head of the directorate and the most qualified person for the job, but Brennan has appointed an outside panel of former CIA officers to review her and other candidates for the job — something that the CIA has never done before.
This is a lot more serious than the hypocrisy of the diversity-crazed Obama administration's blocking the first woman for this most sensitive and important of intelligence positions. This is the very politicization of the CIA that conservatives feared when Brennan was nominated. Brennan has bent with the political winds, first defending the interrogations for producing intelligence that prevented future attacks, but — when Obama won the election — allegedly spreading the word that he was against the interrogations all along. Brennan carried out the drone program, which kills not just terrorists but innocent civilians. But now, because of the heat from the Left during his confirmation, Brennan is blocking the most qualified operative to head the CIA's key division because of her involvement in interrogations. Clearly, diversity only goes so far for the Left.
