From Kaus on a National Intel Director

By Mickey Kaus:
"I still don't understand why it's a good idea to centralize intelligence under a single czar. If the problem with pre-Iraq intelligence was the tendency to tell the Administration what it wanted to hear, won't narrowing the information funnel maximize the chances of that happening again? Won't it be easier to 'politicize' a single 'National Intelligence Director'? What we want is a multiplicity of perspectives and an error-revealing debate, no?"


Good point.
