How Much Damage can Brennan Do To his reputation?

 Power Line pundit Paul Mirengoff has a post on him and his recent statements.  Here are a few of his comments:
 "Have we ever had a high level national security official who made as many foolish comments as John Brennan, President Obama's chief counter-terrorism adviser? I can't recall one."
"Brennan's latest words of wisdom pertain to the issue of recidivism among former terrorist detainees."
"You know, the American penal system, the recidivism rate is up to something about 50 percent or so, as far as return to crime. Twenty percent isn't that bad,"
Brennan may be agnostic on how to deal with potential "ticking time-bomb" scenarios. But at least he's clear that there's no real problem with the large-scale release of terrorists where we can expect one in five of them to engage in future terrorism
He ends with this
Obama should relieve Brennan of his counter-terrorism duties so that he can devote more time to visiting Islamic centers.
I've left much of the article out of this post, go read it all.
