Hope President Trump will reform and reorganize these often politicized intelligence agencies of the U.S. There are just too many of them.
Yes, it makes sense to have specialized agencies. Whether every branch of the military needs their own intelligence service is certainly debatable.
Yes, it makes a lot of sense to have competing intelligence agencies instead of one colossal, uniform agency. But 16 agencies? Why does the DEA have their own intelligence agency or the FBI for that matter?
How much overlap and how much duplicate efforts are we actually dealing with? Many cooks spoil the broth! Please save taxpayers’ money!
I am not an espionage expert, but here a few suggestions for reform:
- Counterintelligence and intelligence agencies probably need to be separate
- Human intelligence operations probably should be separated from technical/digital intelligence operations
