It Makes Perfect Sense

To the President at least. First he appoints the ex-CIA chief to be the Secretary of Defense. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure he is an intelligent, capable individual. But I was forced to ask at the time, wouldn't it make more sense to appoint one of the many retired senior military folks?

Now, via Drudge, President Bush is going to appoint a retired admiral to lead the Nation's intelligence organizations. Huh? So let me get this straight. You put the intel guy in charge of the military and the military guy in charge of intel? Okay.
