Keep Gates at Defense

Robert Gates is well-respected and his steady hand and knowledge is indispensable at this time of transition when we face heightened security threats.

Appointing Sen. Chuck Hagel would politicize the office, the last thing we need--and if you're looking for bi-partisanship he has no one's respect.

For that matter, keep current DNI head Mike McConnell. He served the Joint Chiefs, was an NSA director under the Clinton administration--he's a professional, apolitical, and has worked to connect the dots between agencies to keep us safe after Sept. 11th.
