I sincerely would have never expected this to be possible--even more so if it was Brennan himself who removed his name, voluntarily, from the list. It looks almost like something out of a movie. Or is he doing this to claim he also has moral qualms, and doesn't want to do what the people doesn't want? I suppose I should be more cynical and say he probably has something he doesn't want the public to know about, and he fears a very high position now, in a Democratic administration, would make whatever he is hiding more likely to hit the fan. But I do like to be a starry-eyed optimist and think that maybe he did that because he thought it was the right thing to do. Who knows? Stranger things have happened...
