John Negroponte: Always Part of a Vicious Problem and Never Part of Any Solution

Negroponte, I swear, is pure bureaucratic, Bushian evil. In a Bush world, of course, men like Negroponte, the more they screw up and cause death and destruction and failure, the more they are promoted and given additional power. Unbelievable.

From yesterday's USA Today:

WASHINGTON — A year after John Negroponte became the first director of national intelligence, key lawmakers worry that the spy agency they created is not fulfilling its vital mission.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence is "not adding any value" by enlarging the bureaucracy, said Rep. Pete Hoekstra, a Michigan Republican who leads the House Intelligence Committee. "They're lengthening the time to make things happen. ... We want them to be lean and mean."
