Depends on what kind of intelligence you are talking about, Laz. Captain Egan in Juneau showed me some satellite images of the Bering Straights. He pointed out all the ships and fishing boats and showed me the plume of oil from fuel and fishing that bloomed out of every one of them. If you were looking at the water from the deck of one of those ships, you would not be able to see that oil, it was so minute.

The Armed Forces' Military Police also are not an intelligence operation, yet they provide security on military bases.

That does not diminish the fact that they do provide security.

The various components of our intelligence services and armed forces are suppsed to be talking to each other (not that they necessarily do it effectively, even in the post-9/11 environment)

Are you saying the USCG needs to have an intelligence function in order to provide Port security?
