When word surfaced in the national news of President-elect Barack Obama's intention to select Leon Panetta, former White House chief of staff and longtime Peninsula resident, to lead the CIA, several media outlets called on Monterey Institute faculty to weigh in. Located in former Congressman Panetta's home district, the Monterey Institute is a leading voice on global security issues and is home to the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies as well as a master's program in international policy studies.
