Well, I've been waiting for the phone to ring...and even offered to do the job for no salary...but the President has decided to go with lawyer and intelligence guru Matthew Olsen as the new director of the National Counter Terrorism Center.
"Olsen, 49, currently serves as the general counsel for the National Security Agency. He has also held high-level roles in overseeing intelligence matters at the Justice Department and the FBI. From 2009 to 2010, Olsen directed the task force that, on Obama's orders, reviewed the intelligence on detainees held at the Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba."
Good job and God speed to the outgoing director, former Naval flight officer Michael Leiter, who spent 4 years in the hot seat. One of his great accomplishments was establishing the annual counterterrorism calendar. For those not lucky enough to secure a hard copy, the online interactive version is outstanding.
