Top Secret America

[TexasSP]

Way too much going on for such a short article with a kind of blanket approach to the whole deal. Interesting but I would question a lot of the accuracies and sources for such a broad sweep of information.

However I am not questioning that spending is high and that there are issues. I do think careful consideration needs to be given each piece of the US intelligence puzzle before reaching any kind of conclusion and/or opinion.

The first thing I think has to be done is to outline what the specific goals, obligations, duties, jurisdictions, and powers are of the individual agencies. I think redundancies should be eliminated and a clear vision and path for each respective agency. Many departments and expenditures could definitely be eliminated.

However our governments solution to every problem is expansion. Some how the politician's believe the fix for all the problems is to make it all bigger.
