ProposalProposal

•Since 9/11, how have the efforts by the United States Government changed the face of the Intelligence Community and have these changes made the IC better prepared in the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT)?

•Would the consolidation of the IC into a single, unified intelligence agency provide a better model for the future of United States intelligence?

•Would this National Intelligence Agency (NIA) better prepare and protect the United States from future terror attacks both inside and outside of our borders?

ShortcomingsShortcomings

•There has already been a lot of reorganization within the Federal government. Another major reorganization could hamper progress which has been made in the post-9/11 environment. Could the United States Government sustain another major reorganization and would it be any more beneficial than the current structure?

•This project is a public, open source document being presented to a group of colleagues with varying security level clearances. Furthermore, the author does not possess a security clearance.

ShortcomingsShortcomings

•Any information obtained during this project was obtained through an open source review and therefore it should be maintained that the possibility exists of classified information which supports or contradicts statements made.

•A common theme during reviews of the pre-9/11 environment revealed that there was a lack of information sharing between Federal agencies and State and local agencies. This project does not address these issues and whether or not the legislation, strategies and reorganization has positively impacted information sharing and integration of State and local agencies.
