Hagel provides a veneer of respectability, and Brennan runs the dark covert ops as they wanted to all along - good cop, bad cop. Even though Hagel seems actually sincered, but how many of those types have gotten used by this administration?

In reply to John Brennan's extremism and dishonesty rewarded with CIA Director nomination

Salon chimes in with the opinion that Brennan's nomination should be debated at least as much as Hagel's. Who could argue against that?

If the characterizations of Hagel which make him an attractive candidate for Secretary of Defense are true and so are those of Brennan, which make him completely unacceptable [to me] as head of the CIA or local dog catcher either, how can these two be expected to constructively work together?

It would be if it weren't par for the course. Bush-era torturer and liar on civilian drone deaths promoted. Meanwhile, CIA agent who exposed US torture goes to jail because he divulged a CIA name that he thought was retired and that was never revealed. The war on whistleblowers in good form. Hopey and changey-like.
