I don’t know about this intelligence czar stuff. To me it sounds like a bureaucratic solution to a bureaucratic problem. I’m afraid Bush is bowing to political pressure.

I agree with this:

"I don't think the person should be a member of my Cabinet," he [Bush] said. "I will hire the person and I can fire the person. ... I don't think that the office should be in the White House, however, I think it should be a stand-alone group to better coordinate."

Kerry’s “blanket endorsement to all the commission's recommendations” does not seem like leadership to me.
