Subject: CIA'S BAD IMAGE
PARATROOP    6/15/2006 11:02:36 PM
Hmm...the INTELL agencies are dysfunctional all around both in the DOD and in the federal depts. they have made at least 2 new posts or agenciess and this wont solve the problem, the cia will ALWAYS be the poster boys for failure simply cuase what they represent, the pinnacle of Intelligence.They warned bush of 911, they doubted saddam's bio wpns program and bush used his power to find someone within the cia to add credibility to a FOREIGN INTELL agency claim. Let wartime intelligence be the chief job of the DOD, and geopolitical (etc) intelligence be that of the CIA. Naturally let there be a forced liason to amke sure of appropirate and usefull intell flow between the two by a non-partisan office,who also cooperates with FBI and other domestic agencies. Any better ideas??

Yes, scrub 'em and give the function to the military. They can't or won't do HUMINT, SIGINT is the province of NSA, and if they can't answer to the President then disbanding them is a humane alternative to slaughtering them en masse. CIA does not make policy. CIA takes orders. If, that is, they wish to exist.

I predict major improvement in this area (at least among professionals who understand the issues) now that Gen Hayden will be there to kick a$$ and take names. His the first career intelligence officer to make four stars in I-don't-know-how-long-if-ever, the longest-serving DIRNSA by request of those above him (during which time he focused significant attention on improving the way NSA operates), now is the only person to have been director of both NSA and CIA (and also Deputy Director of National Intelligence, but that's a given since he was also the first one appointed to that brand new Agency), and I've never heard a bad word about him from anyone in intelligence--not even his daughter. I'm extremely confident he will re-focus CIA on doing its mission well and improving its cooperation/image with other intel agencies. Displacedjim
