Intelligence gathering needs an overhaul, and by that I don’t mean a new useless Overseer position, but rather the deletion of redundancy. There are fifteen intelligence agencies, but all we need is three: Foreign, Domestic, and Military. They should be allowed to communicate with each other easily, this way Foriegn Intel can catch wind of a terrorist (you like that word, don’t ya) with a plan, and if he gets on our soil, can pass all the info on him to Domestic Intel, who will then deal with it using Foreign Intel’s help. Foriegn and Military can obviously benefit immensely from this cooperation, sizing up the enemy and watching him while he sleeps, and if he makes a move, strike faster than he knew was possible.
I really want to know what the NSA is up to and why it’s taking such a huge chunk out of the DoD’s budget. What does it bring to the table that no other agency can or does? So here’s what they say: “It coordinates, directs, and performs highly specialized activities to protect U.S. information systems and produce foreign intelligence information. A high technology organization, NSA is on the frontiers of communications and data processing. It is also one of the most important centers of foreign language analysis and research within the government.” By that they mean building shit like Echelon and other Black Projects. Dirty bastards indeed.
