Here they go again, doing something in a rush so they can go home and say we did something. But what the hell, who cares if it ends up being
garbage
WASHINGTON -- House leaders on Wednesday promised to overhaul the nation's fractured intelligence community before going home to campaign for
re-election, while Senate leaders unveiled an intelligence reorganization plan they plan to have approved before the end of the month. Senators plan
to start voting on final language next week that would create a national intelligence director with spending authority over much of the nonmilitary
intelligence agencies, with a target date of Sept. 27 for final Senate passage.
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, chairwoman of the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, plans to have her committee vote next week on final legislation
to create the national intelligence director. She and Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut, the panel's ranking Democrat, announced a plan, similar
to the recommendation of the 9/11 commission, to create a strong national intelligence director with spending power over the agencies the person would
control.
