The White House has drafted executive orders aimed at implementing the Sept. 11 commission’s recommendations for a more powerful intelligence director and a new national counterterrorism center. Bush administration and congressional officials said Thursday drafts of executive orders are circulating among an interagency group for approval. One of the officials said the White House is floating three proposals, and asking for feedback by Friday. The orders would:– Enhance the powers of the government’s intelligence chief and create a national intelligence director.
– Form a national counterterrorism center, putting that office under the new intelligence director and giving the director the power to decide who runs it.
– Form a national counterterrorism center, putting that office under the new intelligence director and giving the director the power to decide who runs it.
– Improve information sharing with directions aimed at facilitating the exchange information among intelligence agencies.
George Delano, expanding and centralizing the Federal government again. Who would have thunk it? Yes, he’s really the heir to Reagan, isn’t he. I can just hear Ronnie’s voice now: “there you go again….”
I imagine this will sound pretty good to Bane and company, until they think about it and realize that the next Democrat in the White House is going to be using this new and improved and empowered organization against freaks like them. Never give any power to government that you wouldn’t want your worst enemy to wield. Because eventually, he will.
There is only one solution
To a problem you consider
You must always make it bigger
And forget the Constitution.
