Re US Intel - Fire the upper-level managers, starting at the top. It's simple, but not easy.

The sad truth is that there's needs to be a massive cleaning-house of all the tenured and satisfied intel organizations, that have had the benefit of 50 years of luck, increasing power, no oversight, and no compunction to operate against what any citizen would consider US interests.

Incompetence, inside dealing and criminality grows in the dark with out-of-control secrecy from the American People, and even more out-of-control funding.

Is a house-cleaning likely? The answer is contained in the name on the front of the CIA HQ building: "George Bush CIA Building"

Any improvement is likely to have to be forced from outside by military, ex-agents and concerned individual citizens. What do we get for our $30 billion investment last year? About $100 billion in damage and a lot of distrust.
