Breaking up the CIA
Posted by Moonage on 23 Aug 2004 | Tagged as: Government
Senator Pat Roberts of Kansas is proposing breaking up the CIA and creating several agencies to operate in it’s place.
I think this is just a horrible idea. The 9/11 Commission suggested streamlining the CIA and FBI and coordinating them under one Cabinet level position. Senator Roberts’ proposal IMO will only compound the existing problems within the CIA by a multiple of three.
The fact that Senator Roberts doesn’t see this means he is seeing something else. IMO, what he is doing is pandering to the masses.
And that’s never a good plan. Get your information czar, but simplify the information process, don’t make it more complicated than it is already.
