| Negroponte sez Binny's operating area shrinking |
| 2006-04-22 |
| Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden operates in an increasingly narrow area along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border region, US spy chief John Negroponte said in an interview aired on Thursday. "I think he's operating from a narrower and narrower corner of space in that Pakistan-Afghanistan border area," Negroponte told NBC television's "Today Show". Asked what worried him most, he replied, "It's the international terrorists. It's al-Qaeda. What is it we don't know?" Negroponte has come under criticism recently from lawmakers in Congress over his performance, but he told the US television network that progress had been made since the September 11 attacks on New York and Washington. "We're really on this case 24 hours a day, seven days a week. And in that sense, I think we are certainly safer than we were before 9/11," he said. |

| #5 Ponte set up shop next to the Silver Bullet, the throne room of all DoD intelligence community "gaming." His operation is tainted simply by geographic proximity to that septic tank of political correctness and waste. |

| #3 My point, 6, is that Negroponte is a career diplomat who doesn't really contribute anything to intelligence. He can be "gamed" just like anyone in that position by those who provide him the intel and have a political bias. I question having such a position and someone with Negroponte resume in it. |

| #2 Not sure CA, Negroponte has a good rep. Something of an axeman as I recall. |
