Despite the abysmal nature of this report, I must admit that I'm surprised to see Melvin get the sack. He was only the interim administrator and he'd only been in the job for six months. Even I can't put the blame for this on him - the agency has been a joke from the start, and got progressively worse under each administrator, especially Pistole. I don't recall hearing of any major shifts in policy or procedure under Melvin that could possibly lead to more than a sliver of blame being legitimately placed on him.

And the new guy is a propaganda professional with no security experience. I suppose it might be a step up to have an interim administrator who hasn't had his entire professional career shaped by the search for terr'ists and crinimals, but going to a mini-Goebbels can't be any more than a marginal improvement.
