Preventing Surprise Attacks - Intelligence Reform in the Wake of 9/11

Klappentext Richard A. Posner! in the first full-length study of the post-9/11 movement for intelligence reform! argues that the 9/11 Commission's analysis! on which Congress relied! was superficial and its organizational proposals unsound. Posner explains! however! that a ray of hope remains: the reorganization provisions of the new Act are so vague! as a result of intense politicking! that the actual shape of the reorganized system will depend critically on decisions made by the President in implementing the Act. In a searing critique! Posner exposes the pitfalls created by the new legislation! identifies the issues overlooked by the 9/11 commission and Congress! and suggests directions for real reform.
