\"But once Panetta had spoken with Tenet, Goss, and Hayden, he learned that this secret “program” wasn’t much more than a PowerPoint presentation and a task force assigned to think it through. “Sensitive information” had been collected in a single foreign country, my sources tell me. That’s about it. It wasn’t really a coherent program at all so much as a collection of schemes, each attempting to achieve the same objective: to kill terrorists\"

So once again Obama picks a totally inept person to run a department. Too bad the job is running one of the most sensitive in the country. Leon \"Bo Jangles\" Panetta hears some info, doesn't understand what he is hearing, runs to congress to let them know so Pelosi can be let off the hook and then everyone finds out how big a fool their boy really is. It would be really funny if it didn't hurt so much.
