John Brennan may not get to head the CIA -- he withdrew from consideration after an outcry over his support for controversial Bush administration policies -- but he'll reportedly still play a key role in shaping the Obama administration's counterterror policy.
Multiple outlets are reporting that Brennan will be President-elect Barack Obama's top counterterrorism advisor, leading an apparatus that will be restructured and folded into the National Security Council. His appointment is expected to be announced Friday; the position does not require confirmation by the Senate.
War Room is written and edited by Alex Koppelman, with contributions from Salon reporters around the country.
