kind of freneticness to him. he was sending a blizzard of snowflakes, memos to people. he often didn t trite he has he often didn t treat his subordinates as well-trained professionals. gates as secretary of defense said you guys know your job. i ll let you know if you re doing it wrong. those are the two big differences i see. the cia was crucial in this operation obviously. leon pinetta took over the cia without any prior dedicated professional experience in intelligence. although having been a white house chief of staff he was certainly exposed to intelligence and analyzing intelligence. that s not the same thing as coming from the community. it seems clear at this point that pinetta s record as a cia director in the so-called war on terror is better than anyone who worked under the bush administration. i think it certainly will help him in his confirmation hearings to have this raid in his background.

the only things they can talk about. so getting the right people in the jobs, making some policy changes, often those are classified. and you can t the only thing you can talk about and show you ve done something is if you reorganize reorganize. i think you ought to be slow to reorganize. i m not yet ready to throw in the towel on this new system even though i didn t really want it implemented in the first place. mr. woolsey, before wlelt you go go, i want to clarify one point. you said this system could work. that would suggest you currently do not think it s working. well, the jury s still kind of out from my point of view. i m so reluctant to reorganize. yet again i d like to see it work. i think clapper and pinetta are fine individuals. i ve known them both for 30 years. they re really very able. think they may well be able to make it work. i guess the way i d put it is the jury s still out. james woolsey, thank you so much for joining us. thank you. good to be with you.
