That got me thinking, the "only people informed and aware enough" part. 
So who, as a profession, has the most informed (and, I'd like to add,
unbiased) view of the world?  Who is in a position to access or regularly
view the widest range of viable information?

I would say the media, but then again we all know how easily they're
spoonfed.

I would say the intelligence community, but as a tool of the state they
are extremely biased.

Then I thought of librarians ... the whole ILS crowd ... people who
generally take a non-judgemental approach to the collection of
information, any and all information.  Neatly categorized and
associated...

Let's make a librarian the DCI.  Let's make a librarian President.
