Maybe this could be the answer?

Flournoy tops short list to replace Hagel

LTC Private RallyPoint Member, I think you're on to something with that article, sir. Ms. Flournoy has the experience, the intelligence, and the "wasta" to be the next SECDEF. And I'll bet she'd be a good choice, one that could be confirmed, even in a Republican Congress.

I guess it won't be Michèle Flournoy, at least according to a story at foreignpolicy.com:
