MSN Encarta - Central Intelligence Agency Heralded as the most radical overhaul of the intelligence community since the enactment of the National Security Act of 1947, the new law created the office of director of national intelligence (DNI), which was given the responsibility of coordinating and overseeing the activities of 15 intelligence agencies, including the CIA. The legislation was prompted by the findings of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, which investigated the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and found that the CIA and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) failed to share information that might have prevented the attacks. The CIA also took overall responsibility for gathering information from other U.S. intelligence agencies, analyzing the separate pieces of information from each source, and providing intelligence estimates to the president of the United States and the president’s advisers. encarta.msn.com /encyclopedia_761568583/Central_Intelligence_Agency.html   (1711 words)

US Central Intelligence Agency director Porter Goss arrives at the Police Headquarters during his visit to Ankara, Turkey, 13 December 2005. One result of the intelligence failures relating to Sept., 2001, and Iraq was the reorganization of 2004, which demoted the director of the CIA and made the CIA one of several agencies overseen by the new position of director of national intelligence. www.encyclopedia.com /html/C/CentrI1A1.asp   (1548 words)

UNITED STATES INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY - WHO WE ARE INR is strictly an analytical agency; diplomatic reporting from embassies, though highly useful to intelligence analysts, is not considered an intelligence function (nor is it budgeted as one).

Central Intelligence Agency - SourceWatch Within the Central Intelligence Agency, "hundreds of employees on a daily basis are directed to break extremely serious laws in countries around the world in the face of frequently sophisticated efforts by foreign governments to catch them," according to a 1996 House Intelligence Committee report. The CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) are accused by International Currency Review, the London-based journal, of mounting a joint ultra-secret operation to electronically remove an estimated $10 billion out of the Iraqi Central Bank hours before the start of Persian Gulf War II. Every year, billions of dollars of Congressional appropriations are diverted from their Congressionally sanctioned purposes to the CIA and DoD based intelligence agencies without knowledge of the public and with the collusion of Congressional leaders. www.sourcewatch.org /index.php?title=Central_Intelligence_Agency   (1479 words)

BBC News SOUTH ASIA Profile: Pakistan's military intelligence agency Pakistan's powerful military intelligence agency has been accused of propelling the Taleban to power in Afghanistan and supporting militants fighting India in the disputed territory of Kashmir. Critics of the shadowy Directorate for Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), believed to have worked closely with the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, say it is a "rogue agency" - functioning as an "invisible government". He said the agency was much less of a law unto itself than generally believed because it was tied into the armed forces. news.bbc.co.uk /1/hi/world/south_asia/1750265.stm   (954 words)

Panel may urge a new domestic spy agency / Some members impatient with FBI, CIA The new boss would have power over all 14 of the nation's intelligence agencies but wouldn't be in charge of day-to-day operations at any one agency. The idea of a domestic intelligence agency modeled after Britain's MI-5 is highly controversial because it raises fears of threats to civil liberties. Splitting the law enforcement and the intelligence functions would leave both agencies fighting the war on terrorism with one hand tied behind their backs,'' he said. www.sfgate.com /cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2004/04/15/MNG4R65CR61.DTL   (1015 words)

How to Create a WIA -- Worthless Intelligence Agency When it comes to ignoring accurate CIA intelligence, the preeminent example in the Bush administration was National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice's indifference to al-Qaeda and her failure to ensure that the president read and understood the explicit warnings of an imminent surprise attack that the agency delivered to her. But the fix was in: The Commission was to concentrate on "intelligence failures," not on the failure of policymakers to heed the intelligence, and on the need to "reform" the CIA but not to such an extent as to damage the president's ability to blame it for his mistakes. The Senate Intelligence Committee, the 9/11 Commission, and the CIA's Iraq Survey Group under Charles Duelfer all reported that the CIA's so-called intelligence on Iraqi WMD was fictitious. www.motherjones.com /news/dailymojo/2004/11/11_524.html   (4523 words)

Halfbakery: Decentral Intelligence Agency Intelligence could mean anything from information to knowledge to knowhow. It would take on projects in areas such as business intelligence, technology, research in the social sciences and economic data of strategic interest to workers and consumers. And meanwhile, there is Secret Information, which most people don't have time for anyway, and which in its turn is of two categories: that which is bought and sold for high prices, and that which is shared only locally, by direct person-to-person channels. www.halfbakery.com /idea/Decentral_20Intelligence_20Agency   (700 words)

Central Intelligence Agency (Harpers.org) The Army reported that military intelligence officers and civilian contractors were deeply involved in the abuse; the civilian report went to great lengths to avoid the logical conclusion that the Bush White House had created the conditions (legal, operational, and military) that directly led to the Abu Ghraib horrors. The Senate Intelligence Committee released a scathing report on the CIA's unfounded, unjustified, and unreasonable claims about Iraq's purported weapons of mass destruction; the report was oddly silent, however, about the Bush Administration's well-documented and apparently successful campaign to intimidate the CIA into coming up with justifications for the President's fraudulent case for the invasion. Current and former intelligence officials in the CIA, the FBI, and the energy department complained that President Bush's case against Iraq was largely false: “Basically, cooked information is working its way into high-level pronouncements,” said Vincent Cannistraro, the former head of counter-intelligence at the CIA. www.harpers.org /CIA.html   (3210 words)

USATODAY.com - Deputy chief: National Intelligence agency is 'agile' Hayden said his new agency should mimic some of the elements of loosely organized terrorist networks so various intelligence agencies can operate on their own initiative. While he said the new agency won't fill all the jobs allowed by law, Hayden said it takes people to coordinate 15 agencies, run intelligence missions and create teams that analyze terrorism and weapons proliferation. WASHINGTON — To fight international terrorism, the nation's new intelligence agency will mimic the terrorists themselves by streamlining its bureaucracy and moving more quickly, the agency's No. 2 official said Thursday. www.usatoday.com /news/washington/2005-07-28-national-intelligence_x.htm   (506 words)

The New Yorker: Fact The former intelligence official went on, “One of the reasons I left was my sense that they were using the intelligence from the C.I.A. and other agencies only when it fit their agenda. Shulsky has been quietly working on intelligence and foreign-policy issues for three decades; he was on the staff of the Senate Intelligence Com-mittee in the early nineteen-eighties and served in the Pentagon under Assistant Secretary of Defense Richard Perle during the Reagan Administration, after which he joined the Rand Corporation.

The Lie Factory Not from the Central Intelligence Agency, which conducted an internal inquiry into intelligence on Iraq, not from the congressional intelligence committees, not from the president's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board. While the CIA and other intelligence agencies concentrated on Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda as the culprit in the 9/11 attacks, Wolfowitz and Feith obsessively focused on Iraq. Wurmser would be the founding participant of the unnamed, secret intelligence unit at the Pentagon, set up in Feith's office, which would be the nucleus of the Defense Department's Iraq disinformation campaign that was established within weeks of the attacks in New York and Washington. www.motherjones.com /news/feature/2004/01/12_405.html   (1368 words)

The Rumsfeld Intelligence Agency By Fred Kaplan SAC intelligence officers frequently presented a slide show to senior Eisenhower and Kennedy administration Pentagon officials—photos, taken by satellites and U-2 spy planes, of a grain elevator, a medieval tower, and another strange structure out in the middle of nowhere. It was sold as an "exercise" in intelligence analysis, an interesting competition—Team A (the CIA) versus Team B (the critics). In the 1940s, senior Naval Intelligence officers argued that the Soviet Union had not really detonated an atomic bomb and persisted in their disbelief for several years after the fact. www.slate.com /id/2073238   (1168 words)

American Civil Liberties Union : ACLU Says New Intelligence Umbrella Agency Poses Serious Questions Other intelligence agencies that would logically be a part of the new umbrella agency have checkered histories as well, which mirror the Operation CHAOS excesses of the CIA. Military intelligence units operated a domestic political spying program called CONUS (Continental United States) during the 1950s, 60s and 70s, which had dossiers on 100,000 peace activists and frequently infiltrated political meetings and rallies. If the CIA were allowed to step outside of its statutory charter, the ACLU said, and engage in domestic intelligence gathering, serious infringements on civil liberties - similar to those visited on civil rights and anti-war dissidents in the 1960s - would be the inevitable result. www.aclu.org /SafeandFree/SafeandFree.cfm?ID=11721&c=206   (413 words)

Initially my anti-Republican remarks on intelligence were simply self-defense of scurrilous aspersions cast on my by the Reagan administration whose abuse of the intelligence system was gross.
