Abstract
Abstract : Is the U.S. Intelligence Community as currently constituted capable of effectively meeting today's national security intelligence needs? In the wake of the 9/11 attacks and the October 2002 assessment of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, the answer for many in America was a resounding No! Without question, the debate on intelligence reform has taken on a new and profound urgency. The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (better known as the 9/11 Commission) has been a catalyst for action. In its 567-page report, the 9/11 Commission identified multiple problems and suggested numerous solutions, to include: appointment of a National Intelligence Director; creation of new Community-wide, mission-oriented National Intelligence Centers; and establishment of a National Counterterrorism Center. This paper will analyze these and other reform proposals and will attempt to evaluate their potential to improve and enhance the existing U.S. intelligence system.
