A New Domestic Spy Agency?
by TChris
A report by the Congressional Research Service questions whether the FBI can "transform itself into an effective domestic intelligence agency geared to preventing terrorism." Its authors fear that the FBI will be slow to change from a reactive law enforcement agency to a proactive domestic intelligence service that can stop terrorists before they strike.
One of five suggested solutions (none of which are endorsed) by the report: the creation of "a new stand-alone domestic intelligence service." Sounds suspiciously like a new federal agency dedicated to spying on Americans. Let's hope that enough of our elected representatives remember the bad old days of J. Edgar Hoover to stop that idea before it gains any traction.
