"One would think that a convicted felon who escaped by a technicality hardly would be welcome   in the Bush administration. Yet when asked about Poindexter's prior criminal conduct, Bush   released a statement that he believed "Adm. Poindexter has served our nation very well."
In some ways, Poindexter is the perfect Orwellian figure for the perfect Orwellian project.   As a man convicted of falsifying and destroying information, he will now be put in charge of   gathering information on every citizen. To add insult to injury, the citizens will fund the very   system that will reduce their lives to a transparent fishbowl."      --Jonathan Turley, Where is the outcry?
"I'm not thankful that Bush continues to push his far-right agenda,   acting like he actually won the presidency in 2000. I'm not thankful   that 'compassionate conservative' is just another Orwellian phrase,   along with 'total information agency' and 'waging war to keep the peace.'   I'm not thankful that Iran-Contra crook John Poindexter is now in charge   of spying on all of us, especially those of us like yours truly who actually   publicly voice dissent against the Bush administration."       --Jackson Thoreau, smirkingchimp.com
