The day Barack Obama first received a report notifying him that the CIA might have located the most wanted terrorist, Osama Bin Laden, in a residential complex in Pakistan, John Brennan was with him at the Office Oval. Over the months, Brennan, maximum counter-terrorism advisor, advised the president in an operation in which the United States would hunt down Bin Laden, a decade after the attacks of September 11, 2001. In the famous photo of the Staff of the U.S. government direct presence in the issuance of the operation that killed Bin Laden, Brennan is behind the Secretary of State and the Pentagon chief with circumspection and tense gesture, one crucial moments of history and the security of the nation.
This is the second time that Brennan, 57, aspires to a position that Obama believes it is naturally theirs. He joined the CIA as an analyst in the 80s. He was director of mission to Saudi Arabia in 90 and chief of staff to former director John Tenet Agency between 1999 and 2001, before going on to become director of the National Counterterrorism Center from 2004 to 2005. When Obama took office in 2009, he thought that there was nobody with Brennan credentials to head the CIA, after the dark years of the transfer of enemy combatants to secret prisons and Guantanamo detention center, and controversial coercive interrogation program, with techniques like feigned drowning or sleep deprivation, meticulously designed by the George W. Bush.
Brennan's experience, however, proved to be a burden with which Obama did not. Precisely during the years in which Brennan was a senior adviser and the CIA, the U.S. designed and implemented these interrogation techniques that activists for human rights equated with torture. It helped President Brennan had an interview given in 2007 to CBS television in which he said: "In these interrogations has obtained a lot of information that the Agency has used against terrorists convinced. They have saved lives. And do not forget that these are terrorist Repeat offenders responsible for 11-S, which have shown no remorse for the death of 3,000 innocents. "
The post of director of the CIA should be submitted for ratification by the Senate, and, before the controversy, Brennan decided to withdraw his name from consideration. The president ended up naming him Homeland Security Advisor, a position of trust for which you do not need to go through Congress. In Obama's first term, Brennan has overseen much of the program attacks 'drones', or drones in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia, which has so damaged the leadership of Al Qaeda beheaded. It is also largely responsible for U.S. attention on Jihadism raids in North Africa, especially in Mali, where it recently has strengthened the group Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb.
In the past four years, Brennan has been redeemed in part to activists for human rights with its defense of the closure of the Guantanamo detention center, an old election promise so far unfulfilled by President Obama. "We will bring more people to Guantanamo," Brennan said in a conversation with journalists in 2011. "The official policy of this administration is that it will close Guantanamo, despite some legislative obstacles that have been placed in our way, we will continue to pursue this end." Brennan has going for it to have no political affiliation, and served under Democratic and Republican presidents in his long career in U.S. intelligence.
