Another Kerry connection to McCarthy

Buried in the NY Times story about how McCarth's peers thinks she plays by the rules is this revelation on who hired her to work in the Clinton White House:

...

By 1991, she was working as deputy to one of the agency's most senior analysts, Charles E. Allen, whose job as "National Intelligence Officer for Warning" was to anticipate major national security threats. Ms. McCarthy took over the job from Mr. Allen in 1994 and moved to the Clinton White House two years later.

Rand Beers, who at the time was Mr. Clinton's senior intelligence aide on the National Security Council, said he hired Ms. McCarthy to be his deputy. "Anybody who works for Charlie Allen and then replaces him has got to be good," said Mr. Beers, who went on to serve as an adviser to the 2004 presidential campaign of Senator John Kerry, the Democratic candidate. She took over from Mr. Beers as the senior director for intelligence programs in 1998. (Emphasis added.)

CIA employees with ties to Democrats are going to come under more suspicision because of McCarthy. BTW, has there been a CIA leak that makes Clinton look bad lately?
