    It's not words on paper which will better protect this nation from a terrorist attack. We're not at all convinced that a culture of collaboration can be legislated.

Indeed, we will be no safer if the first appointee to the new post of National Intelligence director simply has access to the same junk intel which led former CIA Director George Tenet to declare the case for war in Iraq a ``slam...
