Breaking: Charles Freeman Withdraws Nomination
Via the Washington Independent:
Director of National Intelligence Dennis C. Blair announced today that Ambassador Charles W. Freeman Jr. has requested that his selection to be Chairman of the National Intelligence Council not proceed. Director Blair accepted Ambassador Freeman’s decision with regret.
I’d say something snarky like another one bites the dust but I don’t see anything remotely funny about the apparent incompetence of the Obama Administration.
Ed has more at Hot Air and Michelle Malkin has a collection of links detailing why Freeman was a bad pick.
