Without question, the intelligence community needs fixing. Unfortunately, the debate over reforming the CIA seems to be going off track. Nothing makes Washington's policy wonks more comfortable than rearranging an organization chart.

If there is a single flaw that I see in the FBI, CIA or indeed most business today - they hire way too many people based on paper degrees- and people are way too often educated beyond their level of competency.
An intelligence agency full of white educated football playing jocks. Just what this country needs when dealing with middle eastern terrorists, cyber criminals and drug dealers. How about an occasional really smart self educated fat cheeto munching keyboard cowboy OCD genius? Now that might be an asset.
By now, almost everyone knows that the CIA is a mess. Almost everyone knows that what it needs is a top-to-bottom overhaul.

Almost everyone is wrong.
