I think the competition between the intelligence agencies is a good thing. Combining them would be more efficient, but will it be more effective?

I seriously doubt it will be.

I think as long as they are permitted to share data and have ample budgets, the way it is now is fine. But the 'Rats continue to strip the budgets and erect barriers to information exchange.

the FBI's counterintelligence and counterterrorism units, although they would continue to operate within the FBI administratively and would still be subject to attorney general guidelines.

Competition is the apparent cause of our current problems. Even now, they want to leave the FBI CI and CT units under FBI control.

We need "all source" control and coordination, otherwise we will be unable to connect the dots quickly enough to do the job. In other words, all resources currently directed against the WOT must be under one roof. Big challenge, big responsibility.
