Well, here’s one new job that we can genuinely attribute to President Obama’s decision making:

Thursday, the CIA’s general counsel, Stephen W. Preston, laid out the ton of legal issues the agency faces here at home. There are enough of them for him to set up a new position, deputy CIA general counsel for litigation and investigations, and to hire Darrin Hostetler for the post.

Feel safer yet? I’d prefer the CIA was hiring folks to beat the snot out of al-Qaeda and America’s enemies.
