Obama to receive presidential intelligence briefing
This is pretty exciting.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 5 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President-elect Barack Obama is expected to receive on Thursday his first top-secret presidential intelligence briefing, CNN reported Wednesday.

A team of intelligence briefers has been named and is ready to discuss with Obama the Presidential Daily Brief, or the PDB.

In a message to CIA employees, CIA Director Michael Hayden said Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Michael McConnell will lead the first briefing.

The PDB is put together each night by a small group of senior analysts at the CIA, incorporating the most current information gathered from the 16 agencies which make up the intelligence community.

2. "I knew y'all were doing some stupid shit the last 8 years, but this is ridiculous"
I wonder what the odds are on that phrase or something similar being uttered or thought.
