Now on to the post....

The problem with intelligence sharing or the lack of it, seems to be caused by Bureaucracy and the bureaucrats fighting for supremacy, even against the administration. It seems that all government stiffs think that info is power and shouldn't share with people.

How you fix this problem eludes me, but it seems that changing the environment by exposing it and naming names would or could be a start..

Do away with the CIA...have 4 or 5 different intelligence agencies staffed by the services...Air Force, Army, Navy and Marines (maybe even Coast Guard) separated and all led by the Joint Chiefs. These personnel would be accountable under the UCMJ. If the present intelligence people (read Joe Wilson) were accountable under the UCMJ it is my opinion that 9-11 would have been stopped!

The turf war pre-dates my service time by probably a lot of years. Just squabbles amongst siblings, not necessarily a bad thing. To me, the Administration benefits from the different viewpoints. Inserting a new level in the process is not a good step; it's a bad step.
