WASHINGTON, Sept. 26 - President Bush has nominated Maj. Gen. Michael D. Maples of the Army to be director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, the first time in decades that someone who is not a career intelligence officer has been picked to lead the agency.
The appointment, announced Monday by the Pentagon, reflects Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld’s desire to put an officer who has used intelligence in the field extensively, but not produced it, in charge of an agency responsible for supplying information to battlefield commanders.
