How do we make sure we reach this domestic divide. President bush created an entity and the 9 11 commission did him one better and suggested he expand its mission in khalid a National Terrorism Counterterrorism Center. This is an example of an institution which actually i think has accreted to use your term power and influence over time and more than perhaps the dni.

The nsa was eavesdropping and everything in that house, everything going in and coming out. So what happened was that the cia wanted information from that house. It wanted to say, well, give us the transcripts, give us with these people saying. The nsa would not give the cia and the information that they were picking up from the house. They went up three times asking senior officials at the nsa for that information and they would not give it to a. The cia is a building near on a listening post the communications announced.
