Negroponte Moving to Set Up Intelligence

[Rose Siding]

WASHINGTON -- The national intelligence director has hired several deputies and about a dozen of the 500 new employees he'll need to coordinate the 15 agencies that make up the spy community, senior intelligence officials said Friday.

One of John Negroponte's first moves was to set up an organization that includes four deputies for intelligence collection, analysis, coordination with government consumers of intelligence, and overall management of the spy community.

With two weeks on the job, Negroponte has chosen people for all but one of those four slots, according to the senior officials familiar with the new structure, who spoke on condition of anonymity. That includes the promotion of Thomas Fingar, who has run the State Department's intelligence office since July 2004, to be the deputy for intelligence analysis.
...
Even finding a home for the director has its complications. The director is working out of a small space in the New Executive Office Building, a stone's throw from the White House. He plans to move to more permanent, but still temporary quarters, at Washington's Bolling Air Force Base, when the Defense Intelligence Agency finishes construction on a new building this fall.

6. One thing they are making easy

They can easily fire every one who contributes or is raised up under this regime as opposed to keeping on transition employees who turn out to be rats still working for the Bushes.

Better than a purge. They are all IDing themselves as black bag liars and crooks or working happily for the same. No "intelligent" person can honestly be working for this travesty, this illegality. And sadly, if good people are working underground, the price to be paid similarly should inhibit their ever getting promoted under the honest reformers they might be plotting for.
