***CIA Director Leon Panetta (currently being considered for Secy. Of Defense) tied to Communist Party USA's Hugh DeLacy***
http://trevorloudon.com/2011/
("When this information is examined in context," Loudon and Kincaid stated, "it is clear that Panetta, whose nomination to be CIA director was considered mystifying even to those in the intelligence business, has been a key component of a network of left-wing activists and socialist organizations for over two decades. These individuals and groups include not only Hugh DeLacy and his communist associates but the communist-dominated Progressive Party, Democratic Socialists of America and the neo-Marxist New American Movement. Panetta, in short, was a player in the network that sponsored the political career of a young Barack Obama in Chicago. This helps explain why Panetta was picked, seemingly out of nowhere, for the CIA job.")
