Critics: National intelligence office not doing much


Surprise, surprise!

Did anyone really expect this would work?

USATODAY.com - Critics: National intelligence office not doing much:

"WASHINGTON: A year after John Negroponte became the first director of national intelligence, key lawmakers worry that the spy agency they created is not fulfilling its vital mission.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence is 'not adding any value' by enlarging the bureaucracy, said Rep. Pete Hoekstra, a Michigan Republican who leads the House Intelligence Committee. 'They're lengthening the time to make things happen. ... We want them to be lean and mean.'
The agency does some tasks well, Hoekstra said in an interview Tuesday, but is only slowly improving the quality of intelligence. Negroponte was sworn into office last April 21."
