Obama and the CIA

The New York Times: Reports on the problem faced by the Obama Administration in getting a new CIA Director that can work with the Agency but also can make the left of the Democratic Party happy. After January 20th 2009, President Obama will be faced with the reality of the world, the CIA is there to protect the USA, it cant do that and make the American left happy. Lets postulate a crisis, the Director of the CIA comes to President Obama in the Oval Office, the Agency has caught a terrorist who is part of cell that is going to let off a chemical, biological weapon the mainland of the USA within 24 to 48 hours. The Terrorist is not talking, no deals or promises of better treatment are working, so what next Mr President, 1) Do Nothing 2) Shout at him in a loud voice, or music 3) Waterboarding 4) Do what it takes to protect the American People. Lets hope President Obama never has to face this kind of crisis, or if he does that he does the right thing for the American People.
