Blair Still to be Top Spy, Despite Silence on Nomination
Adm. Dennis C. BlairJeff Stein writes on SpyTalk:
Adm. Dennis C. Blair, the former Pacific forces commander who once coordinated military operations at the CIA, is still on tap to become the nation's next top intelligence officer, despite an unexplained delay of an official announcement from President-elect Obama, sources familiar with the process say.More here.
Blair has been touted as a shoe-in for the nomination by unnamed congressional and other anonymous sources.
But weeks have passed since his name first surfaced as a cinch for the Obama administration's Director of National Intelligence (DNI).
Even in the absence of a formal announcement, however, Blair is being prepped for confirmation hearings on his expected nomination.
