Bush signs new rules for spy agencies

WASHINGTON -- President Bush has issued an executive order that revises the rules for intelligence agencies and strengthens the authority of the national intelligence director, the White House said Thursday.

...................

Executive Order 12333

The new order gives the national intelligence director, a position created in 2005, new authority over any intelligence information collected that pertains to more than one agency - an attempt to force greater information exchange among agencies traditionally reluctant to share their most prized intelligence. The order directs the attorney general to develop guidelines to allow agencies access to information held by other agencies. That could potentially include the sharing of sensitive information about Americans.

...............

It was carried on in secret in the midst of pitched national debate about the appropriate balance between civil liberties and security, spurred by the president's warrantless wiretapping program.

1. They must feel very confident that it will be a Republican administration that has this power.

2. does the national intelligence director report to the president
directly, or does he report to the director of the KGB, er, DHS?

3. I expect the corrupt BushCo Regime to be even more blatant and obvious after November.



By that time they will have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

4. The new order permits a centralized control or even individual
to determine what the truth is or is not. This executive order will eliminate controversies such as about whether a president lied about the intelligence available to him. The intelligence will be sanitized of opinions or evidence that could suggest that the political decision of the president on foreign policy could be uncertain or false.

With this new directive, documents such as Joseph Wilson's memo will be sanitized. They will not be part of the file. Only the intelligence that the president and his friends like will exist. This is Stalin at his most efficient.
