I will note this. By the time you get state department briefs, FBI briefs, Homeland Security briefs, CIA briefs, DIA briefs, and even agricultural briefs....you probably are inundated with information and unable to balance what to remember or how to use the info. Imagine watching CNN, CSPAN, ESPN, Fox News, and the Oprah Channel....all on a continual hour-by-hour basis, and then trying to decipher what is important.
