Apparently Pat Roberts has come up with a doozy of a plan to dismantle the CIA and reform the American Intelligence apparatus.

I’m all for big changes at the CIA. The whole National Security Infrastructure is a relic of World War 3. And if, like some, you belive we’re in the middle of World War 4, it makes sense to change our defenses to suit a new enemy. For example, the first thing we learned after 9/11 is that the FBI’s focus on prosecuting domestic crimes clashes with the CIA’s focus on preventing international war. With the enemies of freedom at the gates (sorry, I realize I’m starting to sound like our president), splitting up domestic and foreign intelligence makes no sense.

So go forth, Sen. Roberts, get on with your bad self! The CIA is broken, and it needs a big fix. It’s too bad no one listened to John Kerry when he recommended cutting the CIA down to size 10 years ago! What a visonary that man is, I tell ya…
