| Former CIA Analyst Ray McGovern: Gen. Petraeus Will Expand Pro-War Agenda As New CIA Director | |
| Democracy Now! 28 Apr 2011 President Obama is expected to announce a major shuffling of his national security team today. For more information, Democracy Now! interviews Ray McGovern, a former senior CIA analyst and co-founder of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity. Under his plan, CIA Director Leon Panetta will move to the Pentagon to replace the retiring Robert Gates. Gen. David Petraeus will become the new head of the CIA. U.S. Marine General John Allen will be nominated to become the U.S. commander in Afghanistan, a position currently held by Petraeus. And Ryan Crocker will be nominated to be U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan. Leon Panetta has headed the CIA for the past two years and has led a massive escalation of the use of unarmed drones in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Many analysts say the nomination of David Petraeus to head the CIA will further increase the militarization of the spy agency. | |
