i hope they start in the whitehouse


In the two years since the Sept. 11 attacks, a group of veterans of the Central Intelligence Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation and Pentagon has been quietly trying to figure out how to help shape the debate over intelligence reform in the wake of the attacks. They say the place to start is a drastic realignment of the way the United States conducts intelligence and counterterrorism operations within its borders.

And, in the best spirit of media-drenched modern-day Washington, they are taking their case public.

On Monday, two members of this private group testified before the independent commission on the 9/11 attacks to urge an overhaul of domestic intelligence.

1. Promote them all!

It is the "business" way of doing things, right W?

2. would that include shadow intelligence as well?

or are we suppose to pretend shadow intelligence hasn't been operative. You know those operatives moving within the shadows that are relied upon to trump up whatever intelligence happens to serve our current strategems. The ones America as a collective conscious or memory has forgotten for lack of followup or those hardly discussed in our mainstream.
