Would a national intelligence czar fix a broken system? It has been done before and all we got were more layers of bureaucracy. The CIA was founded to initiate and coordinate intel gathering by everyone and to consolidate the military gathered intel. The DIA was founded to consolidate Intel gathering by all the services. The FBI was expanded and given the mission of domestic intel gathering after it was taken from the military. The NSA was founded to consolidate and review and later to collect intel. The NSC was founded to provide executive leadership, guidance and review to all the collection agencies. The National Security Advisor staff and position was created to provide consolidated objective advice to the executive branch based on intelligence. The Department of Homeland Security was founded to consolidate and use all available intel and other resources secure the homeland and protect it against conventional and unconventional attacks. We tried a drug czar and it did little of nothing. Adding another layer to our intel net seems ridiculous to me. A reorg...Yes...We need that. Congress may want the czar to cover their butts and have an individual to blame their own lack of supervision on.
