The control of intelligence product by one individual gives that individual enormous power. Remember that Beria was the most powerful person In Stalinist Russia. Having multiple intelligence agencies splits power and creates checks and balance. I have concerns about vesting to much power in one intelligence agency or individual. Am I the only one who has this concern?
I vertainly don't feel that one person should have the control of the budget. Their should be one person or agency who coralates the information from the other intl gathering agencies,
They should have a budget of their own. The Strategic Intel Agencey should be very small but be seperate from the other's. Strategic Intel would direct the other agency where they should or need them to place their emphasis.
These are to work hand in glove, with The Strategic Intel directing resources and advising the President.
The control of the funding should remain as it is.
"Am I the only one who has this concern? "
Far from it.
