Ex-CIA Chief, McCain Man Praises Panetta Pick

James Woolsey, a former CIA director and adviser to John McCain, tells the Huffington Post he’s “impressed overall by the quality” of Barack Obama’s national-security picks, dismissing criticism that Leon Panetta is a poor fit for his former job. Though an intelligence novice, Panetta is amply qualified, Woolsey said: “People tend to like him. He is decisive but he doesn’t shove people around.” (More Barack Obama stories.)
