| Senate OKs Negroponte as U.S. intelligence chief |
| 2005-04-22 |
| John Negroponte won easy approval by the Senate today to become the nation's first national intelligence director, a job created last year to better coordinate the nation's spy agencies following the Sept. 11 attacks and other intelligence blunders. Within 45 minutes of his approval, Negroponte was sworn in at the White House by chief of staff Andrew Card as President Bush witnessed the ceremony. Negroponte will take over the task of giving Bush a daily briefing on intelligence matters, probably beginning next week, presidential spokesman Scott McClellan said. |

| #4 Speaking of Berger, there's been little mention of the guy in the news. Not surprising, really. |

| #3 What do Rantburgers REALLY think how much John N can really do with this super bureaucracy. I can see now why Rumsfeld likes the Pentagon agencies of his creation. His work demands results. I think that this superagency will go nowhere without a mandate to hose out the bureaucracy with the administrative equivalent of an Uzi. |
