It will be placed administratively within the FBI, but the National Security Council (NSC) will provide what senior officials described as "strategic policy guidance." Although the officials were at some pains to state that the CIA will "be a key player in this effort," the reporting structure of the HIG seems designed to limit the role of the agency.

It's not clear who will head the new group or how many people it will employ — those are decisions for the coming days.

That was August 24th. Today it is still not clear how the group will be comprised, after all it hasn't been formed yet. In a Washington Post Op Ed this weekend General Hayden who's resume includes being the Director of both the CIA and NSA Informed us that Obama never set up the HIG:

Just pathetic. Big show about shutting own the previous administration's programs and no follow up on implementing its replacement.

I’m surprised no one has picked up on that “torture/terrorist irony” you just mentioned.
