Obama named new national intelligence director by Zivka Deleva

The US national intelligence has a new director. President Barack Obama is the one that has the right to choose the first man of one of the top important institutions in the country. He doesn’t give the last word, he passes its proposition to the Senate that might confirm or reject the presidents’ wish. Obama has decided to name James Clapper, retired general. Analysts are a little bit stunned about the choice, knowing that Obama has picked a defense veteran and not some expert from big number of intelligence agencies in the US. In his defending statements, Obama says that the agency is going to have a professional that has earned the respect. "With four decades! of service to America, Jim is one of our nation's most experienced and most respected intelligence professionals. He possesses a quality that I value in all my advisers: a willingness to tell leaders what we need to know even if it's not what we want to hear" – Obama said. Clapper will come on the place of Dennis Blair who backed off on his own, after the White House announced to aerate its administration a little bit. It is not like that man should have stayed at the position. In short time, in the US few important security failures happened and it was logical that the first man of the national intelligence should pay the price. James Clapper currently is working as a Defense Department undersecretary and is Pentagon’s top intelligence official in the last three years. He has been director of two intelligence agencies, like the Air Force and the National Geospatial intelligence. It’s the Senate's turn now. On each of the previous leading position he ha! s had their support.
