The Solution to America's Intelligence Shortcomings: More Bureaucracy!

Perhaps the DMV ought to be placed in charge and we could just be done with it. Here's Cap'n Ed:

The efforts even include an Able Danger-like program, serviced by AD contractor White Oak Technologies, to perform data harvesting on commercially-available information databases. Each branch of the military service now has its own domestic surveillance program, even the Marine Corps, which as part of the Department of the Navy should have had access to naval intelligence. While civil libertarians will scream bloody murder at these efforts, in wartime our military bases as well as our cities, power plants, water supply, food infrastructure, and many other key domestic points require protection from sabotage.

The problem doesn't spring from domestic surveillance itself but the ridiculous number of agencies now set up to perform it. That alphabet soup creates two main problems, both of which could easily be foreseen in the Omission Commission's glib solution of slapping two layers of bureacracy on top of the intelligence structure at the time, rather than really reorganize American intelligence to fit the current threat posture we see in today's world.

Bureaucracy never results in too much getting done too quickly. The whole point of bureaucracy is to slow things down.

Who besides a bureaucrat would come up with such a stupid recommendation?
