Seeing as how both departments completely failed the American people with regards to 9-11, SEVERE restructuring shouldn’t be out of the question.

Sure. Dissolution <> Severe restructuring. Is Ron Paul for a severe restructuring of the CIA or FBI? Or dissolution?

I was responding to your claim that it was unthinkable to eliminate the FBI and the CIA. Judging by their complete failure to detect, anticipate and prevent 9-11, holding them to be sacronsect is inappropriate IMHO. For Rep. Paul’s views on the subject, try his campaign or House websites - would not want to put words in his mouth or misconstrue or misquote his positions.
