White House Backs CIA Over DNI in Turf Battles
November 12, 2009 11:05 PM
The
White House this week sided with Central Intelligence Agency Director
Leon Panetta in a turf battle he was waging against President Obama's
director of national intelligence, Adm. Dennis Blair (Ret.),
knowledgeable sources tell ABC News.
For decades, the chief U.S. intelligence officer in each country
traditionally has been the CIA station chief. Ever since the Office of
Director of National Intelligence was created in 2004, the CIA station
chief has also served as the eyes and ears for the DNI.
