President Barack Obama intends to nominate National Security Agency general counsel Matthew Olsen as the next director of the National Counterterrorism Center, the White House announced Friday.
If confirmed, Olsen would replace Michael Leiter, a holdover from the George W. Bush administration who said he was leaving the position in early June after Osama bin Laden was killed.

How about the international community ( including us) coming up with an anti- state terrorism task force.
Israel sabotaged a Gaza Humanitarian Aid ship in Greek port & disabled it to prevent it from sailing.
On their command to us & the Greek govt, Greek soldiers are reportedly preparing to raid US 'Audacity of Hope' with Americans including Robert Neiman of Just Foreign Policy on board. To prevent it from sailing.
Thinking Americans have not forgotten the deadly assault by Israeli forces on the last Peace Flotilla in which an American was also assasinated.
And we thought that we were a sovereign country.
Well michael many thanx are owed to you my dear sir we will have
To see if your replacement does as well if he doesnt the commander in chief can and will lay the blame at someone elses feet george w bush it would be his fault yepper
Whereas every little thing that goes wrong now in the country is blamed on Obama.
Even the weather, which he also supposedly controls.
Mmmmhmmm.
@ saywhat:
But it's Israel!
Don't you understand "the meaning of Israel?"
Hi, Jif.
Obama carries a pick? His fro isn't that big. I bet it scratches.
Another overpaid burocrat to live off the fat of the land. If we'd only get out of all these obnoxious wars, just maybe we wouldn't need so many useless burocrats in Washington, but then again, Barack Obama works for the MIC(military-industrial-complex) and not us!!!
@Fakey:
You cannot hold a candle to JIF.
Please stop embarrassing yourself.
Some of US have it backwards.
Thanks @JIF for reminding me.
