I heard Florida's Senator Graham on FNC tonight! He said the United States needs to consider the establishment of a Domestic Intelligence Agency similiar to the one Britian has! It would have no law enforcement power!

We HAVE a Domestic Inelligence Agency - it is called the FBI. But the FBI as now constituted is greatly restricted in the activities they are permitted to get involved in - thank LBJ and the Carter White House for this innovation. The times when the FBI could have been of some use in containing domestic subversion, the subversives were running the country.

Both spies and terrorists travel back and forth across our borders routinely and repeatedly. Why shouldn't the agency that we use to keep track of such people be equally unencumbered by national boundaries?
