See no evil, hear no evil and blame the system. These are the latest headlines from the 9-11 commission. The chairman is blaming the FBI for being inept, the former head of the FBI is blaming Congress for being cheap, and the current Attorney General is blaming the Clinton Administration, well, for just about everything.
Today, as CIA Director George Tenet takes his seat at the witness table, we’ll bring you highlights of his testimony and ask whether there is a smart fix for American intelligence. Some in Congress are calling for a brand new super snoop agency here at home, others want to create bureaus within bureaus, and others say that folding the CIA and FBI together is the only way for the U.S. to get smart about terrorism.
Guests:
Phillip Heymann, former deputy attorney general and author of Terrorism, Freedom and Security
Kate Martin, director of the Center for National Security Studies, and Alex Standish, editor of Jane’s Intelligence Digest.
