INTELLIGENCE REFORM: TO PROTECT AMERICANS AND OUR ALLIES

The CIA's clandestine service is meant to be America's early warning system, providing the intelligence that is used to prevent attack. But the CIA's ability to produce human source intelligence is dismal. It has become a bureaucratic creature loyal only to itself, with almost unlimited funds and no accountability. Reliance upon it is our major national security weakness.

To defend Americans, we must have intelligence reform.

First, the CIA must obey existing laws and directives which require it to:

- Get CIA officers out of the United States and overseas into target countries.

- Reduce fraud, corruption and massive waste.

We must obtain the intelligence the President needs to defend America and our allies.

Recent radio appearances in 2010: Thanks to these stations for their attention to intelligence reform, which makes Americans safer:
