Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

An email to The Corner from someone familiar with the intelligence world; it emphasizes the difficulty of a quick fix, and criticizes related demogoguery. Out of a sense of obligation to provide some snippet here, let's go with"and the fixes YESTERDAY." What fixes? [Fewer] layers between the analysts and the policymakers? More raw data to the policymakers? Maybe that will improve things; maybe that will result in policymakers doing the job analysts should be doing. More information to other agencies? Congress leaks classified information like a sieve; would the security benefits of giving info to the FAA, FBI, TSA, Homeland Security, etc. be worth the risk that some bureaucrat could leak information that can identify sources and methods?
