Bamford's "Body of Secrets" goes into detail on the relationships and problems among the agencies. He comes to a very different conclusion than Gates, of course.

Perhaps the dumbest thing in the article, indicative of the hermitic seal of the Beltway - even after the most massive intel failure in history, they're hoping to stay politically unaccountable. "Just keep givings us money, hide under your bed, and we'll take care of everything!". Very amusing.
