More, Please

Someone who is not a human capital journalist (in this case, Marc Ambinder) says the most important challenge a new agency head (in this case, Leon Panetta at the CIA) will face is human capital. This is true. It's also really important that more people write and talk about human capital. It is a really easy issue to allow to sink under the waves (or to leave out of your legacy briefing book), but if you don't have the people, you don't have your shiny new policy. It's just true.
