WASHINGTON (AP) _ FBI and CIA counterterrorism analysts will work together under a single roof in a new intelligence hub for the government's effort to detect and prevent terrorist attacks, the Bush administration said Friday.

The new Terrorist Threat Integration Center, which will begin work May 1 at the CIA's headquarters in northern Virginia, will eventually relocate to a yet-to-be chosen, separate facility and will grow from 60 to 300 government employees, according to a White House fact sheet that provides new details of a plan Bush announced last month in his State of the Union address.

This new FBI-CIA Counterterrorism Center replaces the old CIA-FBI Counterterrorism Center. Maybe changing the order of the initials will make a difference. ;-)

IF this doesn't work, they may change the spelling of Center to Centre!

That sounds akin to moving the deck chairs around. I think we're adding some torpedoes to the Titanic this time!
