News you probably didn't hear about - Military takes over some more of our Intelligence Agencies
Edited on Tue May-29-07 09:43 AM by ck4829
Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell signed a memorandum of agreement this week that establishes a role for the under secretary of defense for intelligence as the director of defense intelligence within the Office of the DNI.

In his role as Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, James R. Clapper Jr. will continue to report to the secretary and deputy secretary of defense. The responsibilities and the authorities assigned to this position by the secretary will not change.

As the Director of Defense Intelligence, Clapper will report directly to the DNI and serve as his principal advisor regarding defense intelligence matters. The director of defense intelligence will have responsibilities as determined by the DNI in consultation with the Secretary of Defense and promulgated separately.

1. Heard about it. I think it fits is perfectly with the signing statements
of a couple weeks ago giving Chimpy power over all three branches of government in the event of a national disaster. Which, from the way I read it, includes anyone in the unelected criminal administration getting a hangnail.
