WHo will be the object of scrutiny by these new powers? The American people or the terrorists?
It is just greater centralization of power in the WH. The big losers will be the State Department, DOD, the CIA, etc. The NSC has always played the major role in foreign policy, but this sounds like it will also include domestic policies as well.
A domestic role for a National Security Council with all the law enforcement agencies on it? Hmmmm, could that be another step on the path to complete socialism and thought control? It scares the heck out of me. Be Very Afraid!!
