"Retired CIA veteran returns to oversee spies" by Associated Press | July 22, 2010

WASHINGTON — The CIA brought one of its most experienced spies out of retirement to run the nation’s far-flung intelligence network, officials said yesterday.

John D. Bennett, a former Marine and graduate of Harvard University, witnessed the emergence of Al Qaeda in Africa in the 1990s and was on the front lines of the war on terrorism as the station chief in Pakistan. From his post in Islamabad, he oversaw the Predator drone program, which has become the agency’s most successful weapon against terrorism.

“John has impeccable credentials at the very core of intelligence operations — espionage, covert action, and liaison,’’ CIA Director Leon Panetta said. “He has been at the forefront of the fight against Al Qaeda and its violent allies.’’

Until his retirement in May, Bennett, 58, was the agency’s most senior station chief, having served four tours in that position, including in Pretoria, South Africa. In taking this new post, he leapfrogged several other senior CIA officials who had been angling for the job.

Bennett joined the agency in 1981 and became known as one of its premier Africa experts. In the 1990s, Al Qaeda began gravitating toward African nations. The terrorist group launched some of its most high-profile attacks there, including the 1998 bombings of US embassies.

Bennett replaces Michael J. Sulick as head of the National Clandestine Service.
