Michael Ledeen doesn't much like the 9/11 Commission report, either:
"The commission has actually come up with an oversight scheme that would almost certainly make things even worse than they have been. They want new oversight committees, with 'bipartisan staff' (presumably selected by the Archangel Michael, because nobody in Washington is capable of such an act), bigger budgets, and unlimited tenure. This is a guarantee of corruption. Elected officials with open-ended terms will invariably end up in the pockets of the intelligence community. The best hope for honest congressional criticism is short tenure and revolving staff.
"Worse still, the report calls for even more money for intelligence, and an entirely new layer of bureaucracy, the effect of which would be far greater centralization of the whole process.
"I think this gets the problem backwards. We need a smaller intelligence community, not a bigger one, because bigger means more homogenized. "
