The Enquirer - Intelligence czar has tough task President Bush's nomination of diplomat John Negroponte to be the United States' first director of national intelligence, while not without problems, could ably fill a key gap in our nation's intelligence/security apparatus. Many of those failings were well-chronicled by the 9/11 Commission, which made the coordination of intelligence under a single director one of its key recommendations last year.
