How Not To Reform Intelligence
by noteworthy at 8:47 pm EDT, Jul 18, 2004

... we can expect another round of proposals to reorganize US intelligence agencies ... They deserve serious consideration and, in some cases, prompt action.

There is, however, at least one really bad idea: reviving the old standby suggestion of creating a director of National Intelligence. On the surface the approach may look logical, but the reality in Washington would be a far different scenario.

The way we do foreign intelligence should not be fodder for political campaigns.

Robert M. Gates served as deputy director of Central Intelligence under President Reagan and as director under President George H.W. Bush. This editorial was published in the September 3, 2003 edition of The Wall Street Journal.
