For the U.S. intelligence community, the warning lights are blinking red. A reorganization that was supposed to bring greater coordination has instead produced a layering of responsibilities and bureaucratic confusion. A demoralized CIA that needed professional management is chafing under a Republican former congressman who has proved to be the most political and ineffective director in the agency's history.

Ouch. The NYTimes had the piece about Negroponte yesterday so this walks that same ground. But I had not read the CIA stuff. The early reports sounded like this might happen but there was enough conflictual evidence to suggest it might not.

Ignatius always strikes me as a reasonably reliable observer. So this is an important observation.
