"Is Dennis Blair Really the Bad Guy ?
Read entire New York Times article here:
"In recent months, Mr. Blair had also made a push to rein in covert activities carried out by the C.I.A., reflecting his view that the United States had become too enamored over stealth activities.
He even developed rules to guide policy makers before they approved a covert action. Among them were guidelines that covert activity should never be employed “for the purpose of circumventing a lack of U.S. public support for any particular overt policy,” according to one American official.
Officials said that some in the White House and C.I.A. bristled at Mr. Blair’s efforts to exert greater oversight over covert action. The reaction, they said, puzzled Mr. Blair, who had thought he had been given a degree of authority over these activities."

Note: Note: Wait a minute - maybe Blair was the good guy in all of this. If what I'm reading in this article is true - it means the administration is on the side of murdering American citizens - and they are going to kick out anybody that tries to reign in out-of-control agencies. Was Dennis Blair actually a good-guy?* Do we actually have any "good-guys" in our federal murder-incorporated government any more? Where the hell are they and what are they doing?
Maybe Blair publicly told the American people how diabolical our government really is with the intention of sounding an alarm - and paid the price by losing his job knowing he won't be working in that town anytime soon. If that is the case - perhaps the example will be followed by others who remain true patriots of the Republic. We have no oversight. We have no checks and balances left. Was Blair just trying to wake up a sleeping public?
This government is completely out of control as more truth appears by the hour. The complicit media, an enemy of the people, distorts everything and anything to help maintain the executive grip on power. It should be obvious to any observer that the mainstream media ought to have the most to lose as our freedom of speech is attacked and denied - with public statements that "terrorists," even if American citizens, will be killed if the White House wants them dead. No trial - just murdered.
Should I apologize to Mr. Blair for the horrible things I said about him in the past if what I sense from this article the case? Unfortunately as with everything shrouded in mystery and undue secrecy designed to protect the guilty - we'll probably never know the truth. Without due process we don't really have a republic any more - WE ARE LIVING IN A POLICE STATE. That means YOU OR I can be MURDERED RIGHT NOW BY OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

"Embattled national intelligence director to step down; Tenure marked by turf war with CIA officials" by Mark Mazzetti, New York Times | May 21, 2010
WASHINGTON — President Obama called Dennis C. Blair, whose often tumultuous tenure as director of national intelligence was marked by frequent clashes with White House officials and other spy chiefs in America’s still fractured intelligence apparatus, yesterday and asked him to step down....
Blair’s departure could strengthen the hand of CIA operatives, who have bristled at directives from Blair’s office. In recent months, Blair has been outspoken about reining in the CIA’s covert activities, saying they have a propensity to backfire and tarnish America’s image.
The administration has largely embraced the CIA operations....
So Obomber is no savior, America.
He's just as evil as the last guy.

My take on this at the time was Blair being driven out as a fall guy.
Now it seems he was in fact driven out because he was actually trying to change the place.
More: who will replace Blair?
