"You need leadership. You don't need subject matter expertise."
Silly boy! What works for our president does not necessarily work for everyone.
It seems that our gazillion tax dollars spent on fighting terrorism is being used to hire unqualified people who show cheesy leadership qualities. To hell with actually understanding the difference between Shiites and Sunnis or being able to find Iraq on a topographical map.
"What skill sets would they need to better identify, penetrate and/or prevent a future Osama bin Laden-style terrorist attack?" Kohn asked.
Watson answered: "They would need to understand the attorney general guidelines for counterterrorism and counterintelligence investigation."
"Anything else?" the lawyer inquired.
"No," Watson answered.
And people are still wondering why Bin Laden hasn't been captured.
